Welcome to

Glasgow Piano City

What we do

We repair, restore, tune and decorate piano donations from our Shawlands workspace.   We have acoustic pianos for sale or hire and we remain open by appointment - mostly. We recycle pianos beyond repair in Govan, reusing materials to create artwork / furniture. We also run Lids Open Days / Nights and other events in public venues around the city.

As a not-for-profit social enterprise, although we sell used pianos, we are neither a shop nor a dealer - more something in between. In reality . . . we offer something more like a 'Piano Transplant Service' ~ connecting people and pianos with flexible payment plans, opening the door to increased access and appreciation of acoustic pianos for many families and individuals in Glasgow & beyond.

We've been busy over the last few years ~ building a large scale piano recycling project in Springburn, in collaboration with The Pianodrome Collective. 

Below, you can watch a short 2 min time lapse, made for Lids Open Day 2022, read Jane Barrie's article in the Sunday Post or . . . watch a longer 18 min film of the whole build process, including an interview with Tim Vincent-Smith. You can also read The Guardian article, July 2020, on Springburn Auditorium.
