Cookes Pianos & Organs - Established 1887

The range of Digital Pianos now available is vast and bewildering. Here at Cookes, we stock and sell a large choice of instruments. Each model is carefully selected to offer value for money and for its uniqueness within the particular range. In other words, we try to take the guesswork out, and to simplify things to make your choice easier.
Digital Pianos offer many exciting and unique features and benefits, but it is important to remember that as good and as clever as they undoubtedly are, Digital Pianos have a much shorter life than a new Acoustic Piano. Obviously it is difficult to be precise, but on average you should look to get around 10 years of useful life from a Digital Piano against 70 years + from a new Acoustic Piano. This, of course, has to be balanced against the benefits and more importantly what is right for you.

 

Whilst we cannot always match internet prices, we know that they can NEVER match our level of service. Buying a box unchecked from a warehouse hundreds of miles away may not be the best way to buy a musical instrument and often results in disappointment and regret. 
Buying a musical instrument should be a happy and enjoyable experience - listening and playing the various models before deciding on your choice is all part of that experience. Cookes offer you this face to face, high level of service in a relaxed atmosphere, fulfilling and probably exceeding your expectations. 
All our products are thoroughly checked before delivery or collection.
