Inspired by a lifetime love of music and a commitment to make music accessible to all, Coach House Pianos was created by experienced French polisher, Nick Rusling. Having worked alongside an uncle, who ran the Bristol Piano Company, Nick was eager to share his expertise in piano restoration.
With room for just 23 instruments, Coach House Pianos initially comprised a small showroom and a restoration and polishing workshop. However, as the word spread to the local community, the company quickly outgrew the old building. Today, Coach House Pianos is regarded as the UK's leading specialist of fine instruments, with over 300 pianos displayed across their Flagship London Showroom and purpose-built Showroom in Swansea. With a dedicated Workshop and Restoration Centre, all pianos are expertly prepared by their Master Craftsmen prior to being delivered and installed in homes, schools and venues all around the world.
Their reputation and passion for the subject, quickly allowed them to establish long-lasting relationships with leading piano teachers, tuners and other industry specialists. This network of expertise, and Nick’s knowledge of antique and unusual pianos, continues to underpin and drive the business today.

Philip Meaden –
It is impossible to recommend Coach House Pianos too highly. The team’s commitment to customer satisfaction and service is exceptional, and the sales approach is endlessly helpful and completely unpressurised – a model for any business wanting to stand out in today’s marketplace. After an enjoyable few hours trying their excellent selection of grands, I chose a fine Steinway B. Sadly, it turned out that this did not work for me over lengthy periods, once in my studio. Both the Managing Director and the Technical Director made the 600-mile round trip to assess the situation and at their invitation I made a second visit to the Swansea showroom, eventually deciding to swap the Steinway for a Bösendorfer. Nick, Simon and Dan have been patient and supportive throughout, and I am so grateful for their help in finding the right piano.
