Eshelby Pianos has the best variety of upright and grand pianos available for hire and sale in Gauteng!
Intermediate Upright Pianos
currently available for
Hire and Sale
Our intermediate range of pianos suits beginner learners up to piano grade/level 6; even at that level it may not be necessary to hire a premier piano unless the player intends on hosting a concert in their lounge. Most piano teachers would teach from pianos in this range. This range includes pianos like Challen, Kemble, Knight, Otto Bach, Rippen, Zimmerman.
Premier Upright Pianos
currently available for
Hire and Sale
Although our intermediate range of pianos are of a high quality, our premier range is superior. At Eshelby Pianos you are able to view, compare, purchase or hire the best pianos available in the world, like Steinway & Sons, Bechstein, Blüthner, Bösendorfer, Grotrian-Steinweg, Yamaha, Kawai, many other internationally regarded brands as well as some really special, unique and rare pianos.
Grand Pianos
currently available for
Hire and Sale
The appearance of a grand piano is stately, monumental and impressive! It is so morish, including needing enough space and having a fairly generous budget. Some uprights really have brilliant dynamic sound, but with the option of opening the piano matched with a considerably larger sound board, longer strings and overall size, a grand piano holds it own in terms of range, resonance, tonality and responsive touch.
Pianos Under Restoration
Pianos under restoration includes pianos in need of repair, refurbishment, reconditioning, rehabilitation and/or general maintenance.
Our storerooms are bursting with some of the most famous and renowned makes of pianos; a few of fascinating, didactic museum value, as well as intermediate makes that need to be re-painted or restored. Due to the high cost of quality restoration and fitting the rhythm of current demand, some pianos lie in wait yearning and hankering for heed, waiting for adequate and requisite time, being kept because they are in demand; are of excellent quality and/or rarity.
Isn’t it great when you have an idea of exactly which finish you want on a piano and you can see those in need of a repolish?

Our Story
We, Deon and Jacqueline, own and run Eshelby Pianos and we are passionate about pianos and thus our business!
As a family-run business (vast and substantial in terms of what we offer and the variety of our stock, but personal and purposefully limited in terms of staff), we endeavour to provide honest information, brilliant service and a variety of quality stock. We service, restore and re-polish our pianos ourselves, as such are confident about the quality of our stock.
Eshelby Pianos has over 425 pianos hired out in and around the Gauteng area and approximately 150 pianos currently available for sale and/or hire at our showrooms.
