All About Choosing and Buying Pianos

My experience is a bit different. My Yamaha (which my parents bought 20+ years ago when I was a student) is still going very strong. It doesn't live in an air-con room and the windows are always open. We tune it regularly and make sure the heater is always on.jce:
Pearl River is from China, has been around for a long time. It is a rather decent piano but it doesn't last for long (as in more than 10 years) as the sound gets rather \"jang-jang\" and won't sound like what it started off as. My personal view
I dislike the sound. Do not worry about the piano lasting because nothing can last more than 10 years in this climate. Unless it sits in an air-conditioned room, with all windows closed, permanently. -

Hi is the yamaha Clavinova Series of piano, eg CLP 430 or 470 an exam grade model? Which grade can it be used until? It is much cheaper than U1. Wonder why no one has ever talked about this model. Thanks!

Personally I feel that that touch and action of electronic keyboards (even weighted ones like the Clavinova series) is quite different from that of an acoustic piano like U1. If a novice like me can spot the diff, I guess that gap must be pretty obvious.
And of course, the sound produced is totally different.
Regarding your qn on exam grade model, I think this refers to the requirement that pianos used for graded examination must be of a minimum ht (not 100% sure, but think minimum must be 120cm).
There are many musical exponents here. Maybe they can elaborate further. -
