WE HAVE MOVED. WE ARE NOW AT
Unit 12, 43, Austin Street, Onekawa, Napier, New Zealand,
just 20 metres from the junction with Wakefield Street.
OPEN BY APPOINTMENT
As I am a semi-retired piano tuner and not a salesperson it is necessary to make an appointment to view pianos.
Please phone on 06 8445 312 or 021 254 8083 for an appointment to view pianos. Evenings and weekends are usually not a problem.
I now only have a very limited number of pianos for sale.
Talk to the 5th generation specialist piano tuner technician, Ian Appleton ALCM MPTA, not a salesperson.
Gill & Ian welcome you to Appletons' for Pianos. We are a family, specialist piano business and have been established in Napier for 41 years.
