Kemble Upright Pianos
Kemble is best known for its upright pianos, and a good used Kemble upright is one of the best-value pianos you can buy in Britain.
The models
The best-known Kemble uprights include the Classic, the Oxford and the Cambridge, along with taller and smaller models over the years. Heights vary, so always check the exact model. The Yamaha-era pianos, built after 1988, use Yamaha soundboards and action parts in a British cabinet.
Why they are good value
A Kemble upright gives you much of the even, reliable tone of a Yamaha, usually for less money, because the Kemble name carries less of a premium. For a family piano or a learner, that value is hard to beat. See are Kemble pianos good.
What to check
As with any used piano, condition matters more than the name. Check the action, the tuning stability and the overall order, and have one seen by a technician if you can. Our buying guide explains what to look for.
