Welcome to

Glasgow Piano Project CiC

What we do

We repair, restore, tune and decorate piano donations from our workspace in Shawlands.  We have a range of acoustic pianos for sale or hire and we are open . . . by appointment. We recycle pianos beyond repair, reusing materials to create new artworks and furniture. We facilitate Lids Open Days/Nights and other events in a wide range of public venues.
After over a decade as 'Glasgow Piano City' we have changed our name . . . long story !

As a not-for-profit social enterprise we sell used pianos with permission from our piano donors, though neither a shop nor a dealer, we are something in between. In actuality, we offer more of a 'Piano Transplant Service', connecting people with pianos and offering long term no-interest payment plans, increasing access to and appreciation of acoustic pianos for people in Glasgow and beyond.

We've been busy over the years with a large scale piano recycling project in collaboration with The Pianodrome Collective & Springburn Auditorium CiC. 

Below, you can watch a short 2 min time lapse, made for Lids Open Day 2022, read Jane Barrie's article in the Sunday Post or . . . watch a longer 18 min film of the whole build process, including an interview with Tim Vincent-Smith. You can also read The Guardian article, July 2020, on Springburn Auditorium.
