Looking For a Piano to
Buy
A quality new piano will be almost as good and just
as up to date in 10 years time as it is today,
based on normal one hour's use per day. After 20
years it will need light adjustment by a qualified tuner.
In 40 years it will probably need reconditioning.
During all this time it is highly unlikely to go
wrong at all. Older pianos sometimes carried lifetime
guarantees. Therefore the number of used pianos for
sale far outweighs the number of quality new
pianos.
How to choose a good
piano
Only a small percentage of new Pianos for
sale today are well made, especially when
looking at the cheaper ranges. Many new upright pianos from
the Far East which sell for under £2200 are in our opinion of
poor quality, having uneven tone, action &
tuning problems after a few years. We recommend
finding a good second hand one or buying a top reconditioned one
from the 1920s or 30s. A good restored piano from
the early 1900s is likely to be much better
than a cheaper new one. Also modern pianos for sale
dating from about 1960 to 1980 are generally better
quality than equivalent new ones made today.
A Piano's Touch &
Tone
Touch is to some extent a matter of personal
preference, but Pianos with too
heavy a touch can be difficult to play
expressively. On the other hand, pianos with too light a touch aren't
very good for serious beginners as
they will not develop sufficient finger strength.
New pianos tend to be on the heavy side with a brighter
tone, while Traditional pianos generally have a
lighter touch and more mellow tone.
Upright & Grand

You can Buy a good restored used upright
traditional or modern from around £950.00, an equivalent
New Piano will cost £3000.00+. Second hand Restored Baby Grands
