Quick Tip On Buying A Piano

A new piano can be anywhere beginning in $3,500 for an reasonably priced starter upright to upwards of $95,000 for a Steinway concert grand. Therefore, a piano purchase takes its major investment and requires to be done with care and as much planning as you can do. Sad to say, even as in car showrooms, many salesmen in piano showrooms are not well informed and will often try to point you in the way that leads to the largest commission for them. Your best defense in this situation is planning and information.

It may well be worthy of your money to pay a piano technician to go with you to the showroom to assist you to evaluate the choices and prices. Look into cautiously the seller’s warranty and willingness to back the warranty locally. See if you would be able to “trade-up” a starter piano for full credit after a better piano. Find out if you can return the piano to the seller for a full refund if you notice the piano doesn’t work for your needs right after you get it home. Consider both the space you have available and the acoustics of the room you plan to place the piano in. A bright-sounding piano might be great for a heavily carpeted and curtained room, but sounding awful in an acoustically brighter space.
