If you are searching for a beautiful acoustic piano with classic charm and a balanced tone, consider a Bentley piano. These English-made instruments are known for their warm sound, traditional construction, and refined cabinet styles. Though not as widely known in the United States as some larger brands, Bentley pianos offer a unique blend of elegance and musical quality that stands the test of time.


At Pianos Now, we specialize in restoring carefully selected pre-owned acoustic pianos to peak performance. Every Bentley piano we sell is restored in house by our team of master technicians who prioritize tone, touch, and longevity. Whether you are furnishing a living room, starting lessons, or returning to the piano after years away, a restored Bentley can be a perfect fit.

The Bentley Piano Story

Bentley pianos were built in the United Kingdom beginning in the early 20th century. The company established a strong reputation for building solid, mid-sized pianos that were both musically satisfying and visually appealing. Bentley’s manufacturing style emphasized practicality, stability, and consistency. Their pianos were often chosen for homes, schools, and churches throughout the UK and beyond.


Today, vintage Bentley pianos remain desirable for their durability, soft musical tone, and space-conscious design. When restored correctly, they provide a rich and reliable acoustic experience for players at every level.

Why Choose a Bentley Piano?

If you are not familiar with piano brands, it can be difficult to know what makes one instrument stand out from another. Bentley pianos offer a number of features that make them an excellent choice for those who value clarity, beauty, and long-term reliability.


  • Warm and focused tone

    Bentley pianos tend to produce a gentle, rounded tone that is easy on the ears. Whether you are playing quietly in the evening or practicing during the day, the sound is smooth and pleasant.


  • Comfortable touch

    With proper regulation, Bentley actions are known for being responsive and forgiving. This makes them ideal for beginners, intermediate players, or anyone seeking an easy, natural playing feel.


  • Space-efficient design

    Most Bentley pianos are designed to fit comfortably in smaller rooms without sacrificing sound. They often feature compact cabinets with tasteful finishes and classic lines.


  • Strong build quality

    The frames and keybeds in Bentley uprights were built to last. When restored by skilled technicians, they provide excellent tuning stability and solid structural performance.


  • Timeless aesthetics

    Bentley cabinets are typically finished in understated wood tones and classic silhouettes. They look as good in a traditional home as they do in a modern living room.

Our Restoration Standards

A well-made piano deserves a second life. At Pianos Now, we take pride in restoring pianos to a level that allows them to sing again with clarity and strength. Every Bentley piano we offer has gone through a careful in-house restoration process.


  • Our team of master technicians performs:


  • Complete structural inspections


  • Action repair or part replacement as needed


  • Regulation for an even, responsive feel


  • Hammer voicing to balance tone across the keyboard


  • Tuning and pitch correction over multiple sessions


  • Cabinet cleaning, polishing, or refinishing


  • Final inspection and quality testing before delivery


This process ensures that every Bentley we sell is musically satisfying and mechanically reliable. We never rush restorations. Our goal is to match the right piano with the right person and support that piano for years to come.

What Makes Pianos Now Different?

We are not a traditional piano retailer. We are piano technicians and musicians who believe in honest craftsmanship and long-term value. At Pianos Now, we do things a little differently:


  • We only sell acoustic pianos

    We do not carry digital instruments or mass-produced models. Our entire inventory consists of carefully restored acoustic pianos that offer a deep and rewarding playing experience.


  • All restoration is done in house

    From minor regulation to full rebuilds, every step of our process is completed by our own team. This allows us to control the outcome and take full responsibility for the instrument’s quality.


  • We deliver nationwide at no extra cost

    Whether you live across town or across the country, your piano will arrive professionally delivered and set up, ready to play.


  • Technician-owned and operated

    Our founder is a working piano technician who personally oversees restorations and deliveries. When you shop with us, you get advice and support from someone who understands the instrument inside and out.


  • No-pressure consultations

    We do not use sales tactics. We listen to your needs, answer your questions, and help you make the best decision for your space, your style, and your musical goals.

Bentley Models We Commonly Restore

While Bentley manufactured a range of models during their production years, most are upright pianos with clean lines and compact dimensions. Some of the more common types we restore include:


  • Bentley Console Uprights (typically 40 to 43 inches tall)

    These pianos are easy to place and ideal for homes or apartments. The tone is refined and the cabinets are often finished in natural wood tones.


  • Studio Uprights (44 to 47 inches tall)

    With a little more height and string length, these models offer fuller tone and a stronger presence. They are a good choice for players seeking a slightly larger upright that still fits in a modest space.


  • Continental-style uprights

    These pianos feature sleek European-inspired designs with minimalist cabinets and no front legs. They are ideal for contemporary homes or rooms with limited square footage.


If you are looking for a specific size or finish, feel free to reach out. We are happy to check our workshop inventory or notify you when a suitable Bentley becomes available.

A Piano with Poise and Personality

A Bentley piano is not just a musical instrument. It is a reflection of thoughtful design, steady craftsmanship, and a dedication to real acoustic sound. Whether you are new to piano or looking to return to the instrument after time away, a restored Bentley offers a reliable, rewarding way to begin again.


At Pianos Now, we take great care in selecting, restoring, and presenting Bentley pianos that are ready for the next chapter in their musical life. We believe in quality over quantity and service over speed.
