All About Choosing and Buying Pianos
-
Actually when is a good time to get a piano? My DS1 is now in the fourth year (last year) for the Yamaha Junior Course. We are still using the electronic keyboard. Still not sure if we should buy a piano. My hubby insist on getting a new and good model which costs around $8k! It’s a big investment so keep delaying as not sure if DS1 will still want to continue. Worry that once he goes to upper primary, there is not much time for piano practise. Any thoughts?

My girl is in grade 6 now and we seriously need to change the piano. I am thinking of a height 131 cm type, so now I have to let go my current Yamaha piano. It was a new set when I bought it in year 2001 or 2002 (cannot remember, must go back to search for the details). It was made in Japan. Anybody interested ? I would find the details tonight and post it tommorrow.
Good for beginners who are not sure if the passion would go on, exactly the same though I had when I bought it.

Has anyone bought pianos from Century Piano before?
I’m interested in trading in my old Paco piano and getting another 2nd hand piano… Anyone has recommendations? -
[quote]The touch of keyboard & piano is different. Strength is needed to play piano and you need varying strengths throughout the music piece. Even amongst different make of piano, the touch (& of course sound/pitch depending on its height) is different. [/quote]
When I first read this, I simply don't undertand what the writer is trying to say. When I went to Yamaha piano sale, the sales lady said the same thing. She told me that as the child move to a more advance stage a better piano is needed due to the sound and the feel of the piano. Well, at that point of time, I still don't understand but has gone ahead buying an upright piano. Since the model that I want is currently out of stock and I am queue number 37 buying that model, the delivery for the piano is only 2 months later.
While waiting for the piano to be delivered, ds use keyboard to practice at home. In school he uses Clarinova. Now that the piano finally arrive, I finally understood what the writer and the sales lady is trying to say. The sound, the touch of an upright piano is totally different than digital or keyboard. Asking ds which piano he prefers, he chooses upright piano. No wonder he will be the first one running to try on the teacher upright piano rather than the digital that he is supposed to use in class. -
The feel & sound of playing an elec piano/ keyboard is totally
different from playing an upright piano.. I personally prefer the hard
hitting keys of a piano to those of the elec keys. You can really feel the
difference in the sound it makes and the feel of your fingers hitting the
keys..
I get a similar feeling when making comparison between playing on an
upright piano & playing on a grand piano.. It just gives you a kind of
HIGH and gives you \"form\" to play good music when you hear such
beautiful sounds coming out of a thing of beauty.. :drool:
