If you are considering Exclusive Veneers or RAL-Colors, talk to us before ordering so we can confirm availability, lead times and all finish details.

Delivery and assembly in mainland Portugal

Delivery and assembly: we deliver the piano to your door across mainland Portugal and assemble it on site (we remove it from the crate and leave everything set up and ready). If there are stairs or difficult access, transport must be quoted separately. For that reason, we ask customers to call before purchasing so we can confirm access conditions, delivery details and the final service cost.

First tuning included

First tuning included: we include the first tuning of the piano. For the best result, this tuning should be carried out only after about 3 weeks, so the instrument can settle and stabilize in its new environment. If the tuning is outside the Viseu district, the customer only pays the technician’s travel cost.
