All About Choosing and Buying Pianos

[schnauzer]

Does anyone know of a good home Piano teacher? I am staying in Hougang and am looking for a Piano teacher for my daughter to cut down on travel time. My dd will be taking her grade 1 this year.

For those who have grand piano…may I know at what stage do you decide to get one for your child? I’m contemplating…

[nicolellp]

i’m in dilemma…not sure to buy a brand new piano (so ex!!) or used piano…

Nicole, there’s a place which sells 2ndhand pianos near Paya Lebar mrt. It’s called Jesley Piano, add 1015 Geylang East Ave 3 #02-139. If you’re interested in taking a look, let me know, I can give you the contact person’s no, you’ll need to give him a call to make app so that he can be around to lend you a hand.


I also have a friend selling her Yamaha U3 if you’re interested. 10 yrs old (bought in Jan 2000), colour is black. Hardly use and well kept.

Another friend is selling Yamaha LU80 (jap model), her kids are in overseas now so she’s selling off the piano. It’s also black, around 13-14 yrs old. Also well kept.

Let me know if you’re keen on any of the above. PM me and I can give you more details.

thanks ice…for your advise


end up i hv decided to buy a brand new piano - Hailun 125…come with 10yrs warranty…no worries on wear n tear of used piano

Yes, that’s the pro about getting a BN piano. However some pianos may sound good in the first few years then it starts to go down the drain, a 2ndhand however will have been seasoned to its true sound. Hailun…ok, won’t comment on it, as long as you’re happy with it. Everyone’s got their own opinion about what’s good and what’s not.

Mine is not a grand but an upright grand. I have thought for quite some time before changing. Many factors to consider, eg.
1) Your child find the existing piano lost the touch and cannot express?
2) Is your child determine to go further?

Hi,

Just as KSP is dedicated to parents, there is this renowned piano forum website that is dedicated to piano lovers. There is this 'super-long' thread on choosing the right piano within our local S'pore context here:

I think we will find all that we need to know from the above thread.
