All About Choosing and Buying Pianos

[Idono]

Seems difficult to find 2nd hand digital pianos. Anyone with advice where I can better source for one?

Is the U1 a good buy? Confirm Made in Japan?

This qn is analogous to asking, 'Is toyota a good car to buy?' You say leh? Hehe.

titank:

Sometime wonder should get those European brand but assemble in China!

There's a difference between european pianos being made in china; and china brands with european-like names.

In general it is always advisable to get the piano teacher to tag along with you when trying out the pianos. It is also always good to invest in a good exam model piano rather than buying a cheap one to "try out" first. I am a piano teacher and I always recommend my students to get a minimum of Yamaha U1 or Kawai K2 or better if budget allows. Grand piano is not compulsory for grade 8 or diploma learning but certainly a worthwhile investments.

I eventually narrowed down to two to three models. Yamaha U3 or YUS5 and Kawai K6. I ruled out U1 because it is too bright. I am not good in piano. Probably same level as my son. Why I can tell the difference? Because the sound quality of my keyboard is so good that even for U3, I am not totally satisfied with the tone. YUS5 sounds slightly better than U3 but it is 2000 more. I am quite happy with the tone of K6 but was shocked by the attitude of their sales person. When I compared K6 with U3, an old lady called Adna asked me to go ahead to buy Yamha. Now I know why Kawai is not as popular as Yamaha. If their salespersons are so unprofessional, what will happen to after sales service? Seems like I don't have much choice but to go for U3.

Is she from the Millenia branch? If so, I had similar 'haughtly' experience from her. :x

Do u have the contact of the mover?


How much does it cost and any idea if they remove any parts of the piano when the movers are moving?
