Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Kemble Classic T?

The Kemble Classic T is a compact upright from Kemble's well-regarded Classic range, produced in Milton Keynes during the final years of the brand's British manufacturing. It is a space-efficient acoustic piano with a traditional design, a responsive action, and the warm, consistent tone that Kemble became known for. The Classic T was designed as an accessible and practical instrument for home use and suits beginners and progressing players well.

Is a 2006 Kemble Classic T a good modern piano?

Yes. The 2006 production date means this is one of the later Milton Keynes-made Kembles, benefiting from decades of refinement in the Classic range. It is a relatively recent instrument with modern playability and good tonal stability. At £5,295, it is priced to reflect its quality and condition as a properly prepared used instrument.

How does the Kemble Classic T compare to a Yamaha b1 or Kawai entry upright?

A Yamaha b1 or Kawai entry-level upright from a similar period will offer a slightly brighter, more even Japanese tone and may have a marginally more precisely regulated action. The Kemble Classic T has a warmer, more traditionally British character and is a very honest, capable instrument. For a home player or beginner, both are excellent choices, the decision often comes down to personal preference in tone and finish.

Has this piano been checked and prepared?

This piano is available from our Oxfordshire showroom and has been assessed and is ready to play. We are always happy to provide further information about the condition of any instrument we sell, and we strongly encourage buyers to visit and play the piano in person before purchasing. Please contact us to arrange a viewing.

How long will a Kemble Classic T last?

A well-maintained Kemble Classic T should give many more decades of reliable service. These are solidly built instruments, and a 2006 example in good condition has the majority of its playing life still ahead of it. Regular tuning twice yearly and sensible placement are all that is needed to keep it performing well.
