The Best Stores for Pianos in Dubai
Before we get right into our top picks for the best stores for pianos in Dubai, here are the factors we considered for our entries on this list:
1. Used Piano
| Criteria | Rating |
| Inventory | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Brand Range | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Service | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Benefits | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
One of the largest importers of Yamaha pianos and the official distributor of Steiner and Franz Sandner pianos in Dubai, Used Pianos has the widest selection of restored pianos.
Its several showrooms all over the country hold the complete package of grand pianos, upright pianos, and digital pianos unlike any other.
Coupled with its very own in-house piano restoration team, it expands beyond your usual Yamahas and often sells rare pianos models and brands.
With more than 28 brands under its repertoire, this store is filled to the brim with brands that are both high-end and budget-friendly.
That’s the great thing about this store. Its ability to restore old pianos means that it sells all kinds of them.
However, this also means that everything sold here is by chance, and what you see being sold may not be there any more next time.
Despite that, its in-store staff is very knowledgeable, which is impressive because so many kinds of pianos come in and out of the store.
The staff really knows its fundamentals when it comes to pianos.
However, the service is brought down by its piano buyers, who are tasked with finding specific pianos for commissions.
They were very hard to contact and keep in touch with, which made the whole process inconvenient.
But we do love that it continues to find ways to provide numerous benefits to those who choose to avail of its services.
Its team offers piano refurbishment and piano tuning, as well as delivering, moving, and repairing it.
Pros
- Has one of the widest piano selections in the country
- Has over 25 piano brands
- Piano restoration allows it to sell rare pianos
- Knowledgable staff
- Has numerous services for pianos
Cons
- Not all models are available all the time
- Piano buyers are hard to reach

2. House of Pianos
| Criteria | Ratings |
| Inventory | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Brand Range | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
| Service | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Benefits | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
House of Pianos is one of the few authorized dealers of Steinway & Sons, Bluthner Pianos, Kurzweil, and many more in the UAE.
It has a complete selection of acoustic, digital, and designer pianos, and is the only piano store where they customize pianos to the client’s liking in the country.
We love that its inventory covers all the bases of what someone might look for when buying a piano, and it completely goes way beyond that with its customized pianos.
However, House of Pianos is a luxury piano store, and all of its pianos are considered on the higher end of things, with world-renowned brands that have long histories.
On top of that, piano customization is not a cheap service as well. So if you’re looking for a cheap beginner’s piano, then this place is not for you.
Despite that, the service is impeccable. Every single member of its staff is highly knowledgeable of the many different high-end pianos they have on hand.
On top of that, the staff really knows the brands they handle, from their history up to the special features of the models.
And it has loads of services and initiatives that do more than just keep pianos in great shape.
On top of the many piano maintenance services it offers, its team can also convert pianos into self-playing ones, using QRS the leader in self-playing piano programs since 1990.
House of Pianos also holds community concerts to continuously keep the art of orchestral music alive, as well as give a stage to budding talents all over Dubai.
Pros
- One of the few authorized dealers of high-end piano brands in UAE
- Has a complete range of pianos in its inventory
- Excellent service
- Numerous piano services and music initiatives
Cons
- Only sells high-end piano brands
- Pianos are on the expensive side
Customer Reviews
A beautiful place for pianists
“A place for an amazing time for the pianists. And I always spend some amazing time with the staff and get my hands on the pianos. And being Steinway’s home which makes it a world apart. I will be coming for more” – Kushal Bharatia, Google Reviews
Exactly what you’d expect from a high-end piano store
“Essentially this is a case of “does what it says on the tin” (if you know that English idiom). It sells pianos. And very handsome they are. I was there to attend one of their occasional boutique concerts and it was very pleasant indeed.” – Solly B, Google Reviews
3. Thomsun
| Criteria | Rating |
| Inventory | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Brand Range | ★★☆☆☆ (2/5) |
| Service | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Benefits | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
Nurturing passionate musicians through its large inventory and its own music school, Thomsun prides itself on being there with every step of a person’s musical journey.
Thomsun’s piano inventory is versatile and well-rounded, and well into the hundreds. It has upright acoustic pianos, digital pianos, and a couple of concert grand pianos in its repertoire.
However, about ninety percent of its selections are of the Yamaha brand, and the other ten percent is Bosendorfer.
Needlessly to say, the brand selections for its piano are severely limited, but that’s made up by the fact that its wide range of Yamaha pianos also spans the entire spectrum of a piano’s usual price.
The staff is noticeably knowledgable of its wares, especially its Yamaha selections. We also love that this extends to its ability to guide and recommend the right model for the customer’s skill level.
This way, customers can avoid being scammed into buying a more expensive model that would have absolutely no idea how to fully use it.
On top of that, the store extends its knowledge into teaching, too. We love that its music school with other services such as rentals, and instrumental care.
All in all, we love that Thomsun’s services all play into it being such a well-rounded piano store that really covers the bases for each person’s musical journey, especially for pianists.
Pros
- Offers hundreds of piano models
- Knowledgable staff
- Has a music school
- Has several extra services
Cons
- Limited brand selections
- Very few high-end options
Customer Reviews

4. The Piano Gallery
| Criteria | Rating |
| Inventory | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
| Brand Range | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Service | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Benefits | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
One of the premiere sellers of grand pianos in the UAE, The Piano Gallery has 9 brands in its repertoire that ranges from world-class selections to budget-friendly options.
While the store only selling grand pianos limits it severely, we do love the fact that it has a wide range of brands in its repertoire.
From Yamaha pianos to Ritmiller and Steiner, The Piano Gallery covers the entire spectrum of the price range of grand concert pianos.
However, we can’t deny that its exclusive inventory limits it from really making its pianos accessible to everyone else.
As for its service, we found the staff to be entirely accommodating and knowledgeable of its beautiful pianos.
They really went the extra mile to introduce us to the different grand pianos they had in Piano Gallery’s showrooms.
We enjoyed talking with them as they showed us the beautiful intricate features that come with these kinds of pianos, as well as the advanced capabilities of the instrument.
And the store’s other benefits, which include all kinds of services for maintaining and repairing pianos, are just as excellent.
We also love that it moves pianos and offers piano rentals because this really just rounds up all the bases that it can cover when it comes to different piano services.
Pros
- Has a wide range of piano brands
- Accommodating and knowledgeable staff
- Numerous piano services
Cons
- Only sells grand pianos
- Overall, prices of the pianos are on the expensive side
Customer Reviews

5. Sadek Music Center
| Criteria | Rating |
| Inventory | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Brand Range | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
| Service | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Benefits | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
For 43 years, Sadek Music Centre has been providing high-quality pianos, and it shows in the quality of service it has been giving to its customers.
With electronic keyboards, digital pianos, grand pianos, and upright pianos in its inventory, Sadek Music Center has one of the most complete repertoires in Dubai.
And while the price range of its inventory is slightly on the higher end, it is undeniable that all it sells are authentic products of world-class brands.
The range of brands is a bit narrower compared to others, with 7 brands composing its pianos. However, these 7 brands are effectively different from each other in prices.
From cheap favorites like Audiotone electronic keyboards to Kawai grand pianos, Sadek Music Center makes the most out of its limited brand selections.
The service this store provides is almost unparalleled, and that’s mostly to its experience. Its staff has been helping musical hopefuls start their journeys in these stores.
On top of that, they are also pretty experienced with repairing common issues like broken strings and out-of-tune pianos.
However, when it comes to benefits, there’s really not much to go on about. Besides special deals and discounts that come naturally with all of these stores, there is not much else.
Pros
- Has a wide range of pianos for sale
- Offers budget-friendly and high-end brands
- Excellent service
Cons
- Only has 7 piano brands
- Doesn’t have any special services

Thanks to Akhil and all Orchestra Megastore’s team for the wonderful experience.” – Seif Maher, Google Reviews
