The Welmar range is handmade in one of the world’s finest piano factories using the finest European components, before being hand-finished, assembled and prepared by an elite team of British craftsmen to achieve the unique British tone and Welmar voice.
It was during the roaring 20s that Welmar pianos first lit up concert halls, classrooms and living rooms across Great Britain, before a tide of Eastern imports forced Welmar to cease production in the 1990s.
However, the dream of a premium, British-built piano lived on, and to achieve this goal, Nick Rusling (founder of Coach House Pianos) focused on reviving the strong Anglo-European partnership that underpinned the original brand – combining celebrated British design with renowned European manufacturing expertise.
The Welmar brand was relaunched in 2024. Explore our website to discover more.
Whilst the new models perfectly capture the golden tone of the first Welmar Pianos from a different era, they have also been updated to reflect the requirements of modern-day players and contemporary interiors and are available in a choice of colours and limited-edition designs.
They can also be ordered with a range of digital features – enabling them to act as a Bluetooth sound system, play in silent mode, or even self-play.

It is recommended that you have your piano tuned twice a year, or if your piano has extended regular use, for example, if you are a piano teacher, then it is best to tune your piano four times a year (once every quarter).
