All About Choosing and Buying Pianos

[pingering]

Ya, guess it all boils down to the budget. By all means go ahead and get what you like as long as your budget allows it.


I should probably go and check out other brands before making up my mind. It’s a big buy (whether U1 or YUS5)! Planning to drop by Millenia Walk Robert Piano to look see. Does anyone have any recommendation on where else I could check out?

btw, is there anywhere I can check out both Yamaha models and other brands? (new, not second hand…)

Hi, Anyone has experience on both Hailun piano and U1 Yamaha in terms technical?


Here’s the quotation I obtained:
1. Hailun -HL125 (upright Grand) SGD3500- Brand New - 5 years buy back at 50%
2. Yamaha U1 - SGD4500 - 20 years - 2years buy back at 50%. If 3 years than buy back at 40% and each year decrease 10%.

Which one is a better buy? Thanks

I think 4.5k for a 20 years old piano is too $$. R u buying this for a beginner?

[Ah Soh]

Hi Xnowy,

Yes. It is for beginner. Am quite hesitate to go with Keyboard as the feel and strength is diff.

Ah Soh, the Yamaha U1 at such an "old" age is too ex. Hailun’s reputation has been picking up and with the buy-back system you can perhaps get that for starters and sell it off after 5 yrs if you so wish and change to a "better" piano?

Has anyone here bought HaiLun125?


I am keen to get one for my daughter - she has just moved into grade 2.
