Markson Pianos: Established 1910

Markson Pianos is a fourth generation family business, founded in 1910 by Louis Markson, a piano tuner and repairer with a reputation for exacting standards. He was joined by his two sons, Keith and Maurice soon after WWII and they opened branches in NW and SE London. They not only continued with the restoration of pianos for department stores but also for private homes and institutions as well as introducing a pioneering piano hire scheme in the 1960’s.
