I traded in My Modx M6 for a Korg Pa5x recently with Bonners. I dealt with Jackie via email and over the phone, she was fantastic! I got reasonable trade in price and my new Pa5x was shipped to the Newcastle branch within two days. The staff at Bonners Newcastle were great, so friendly and helpful. Such a brilliant showroom too..! I can't fault the service. Thanks Bonners x

Phil was very knowledgeable and listened carefully to my requirements. He showed me a range of different pianos suitable for my ability. I was made to feel extremely comfortable and take my time to choose the most appropriate piano for me.
I would thoroughly recommend Phil at Bonners

Friendly, professional and helpful

I wanted to downsize from my Yamaha C1 grand and also to have a silent option, due to a house move. David at Bonners in Reigate was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I was able to try out the pianos in my own time (felt like a child in a sweet shop!) and am delighted with my purchase of a Kawai K500 Aures2. The delivery company were brilliant too - quick and professional. Highly recommended!

New Kawai baby grand

I purchased a new Kawai baby grand from the Reigate store. The showroom was impressive and Emma and Amanda were very helpful. The first tuning has just been carried out (at 12 weeks) and I am pleased with the result.

A fine business to deal with, on-line or at the store.

We recently visited the Eastbourne store and bought a Yamaha CK88 stage keyboard (our second piano from Bonners) and are delighted with it.
The excellent Bonners staff were so knowledgeable and were happy to demonstrate the performance and features of keyboards from their large in-store range. At purchase, the various payment options were made very clear to us, so we were able to buy with comfort and assurance.
After sales service has also been fine. It's a shame we don't buy pianos on a more regular basis, as this is such a good company and good people to know.

I would highly recommend Bonners Music because the staff are extremely helpful and they happily answered my numerous questions in relation to my purchase of a Hammond SKX Pro Organ. It was very reassuring to be able to ask their expert advice about every aspect of my purchase and about the extras I wanted to go with it. I am very glad that I bought my Hammond Organ from Bonners Music!

Brilliant customer service

Efficient, friendly and helpful service, cannot be faulted. An item in the package I wanted was showing out of stock, but Tom went above and beyond to juggle shipments and arranged delivery of all items within just a few days, brilliant! I'm also really pleased with the piano itself, which is exactly as I'd hoped, great sound and quality.

Great overall first experience

Fantastic guitar and service provided by Bonners. Dan Piper was a pleasure to deal, very responsive to all my queries before the purchase. He was also very accommodating with having the new guitar delivered down to the Milton Keynes branch, saving me a long trip.

Will definitely keep Bonners in mind if i need anything instrument related.

I would highly recommend these guys, great service and product, delivered in quick time
