All About Choosing and Buying Pianos

[rq1111]

I would like to seek advice from all of you. I am looking to buy a piano for my daughter and now I am looking at Kawai K3 or K5 or U1 Yamaha. Hope to hear any recommendation or people that have the experience or had these pianos to hear your thoughts. Thank you!

Hi all,


When would be the best time to switch from keyboard to piano?

I suppose most beginners switch to digital piano first? Up to what ABRSM grade can the digital piano last? Or is there a difference between models as well?

Thanks much!

We used piano from the start. My 3yo plays on a piano and with curved fingers.

Wow, how did you train your son to play on piano with curved fingers? Thought most toddlers don’t have the strength in their fingers yet.

Dunno! Teacher just highlighted to him, but never insisted. Just kept reminding. I also didn't bother much about it at home bc he's so young. But one day, just 5 weeks after starting lessons, he could do it.

phankao,
my ds2, right hander, but he can curve his left hand better than his right hand. so i guess it is bad habits die hard. he started using his left hand on the correct technique, but his right hand still need a lot of improvement.

Interestingly, my boy also seems to be steadier on his left hand than his right. As in, the rhythm generally steadier, more even. He's right-handed too.
