All About Choosing and Buying Pianos

Oh My Gosh:

Is is common to get a brand new piano which is already almost-3 years old?

Possible, may be old stock and 3 years is not very long considering the life span of a piano. The piano may have been brought in some time ago but demand was low. As long as a check was done to ensure everything is as it should be then I guess it's acceptable. Did you get it direct from Yamaha or a dealer?

Direct from Yamaha.

Hmm…I would have thought their turnover would be much faster.

Dear all


Is it a must to get metronome for beginner? My kids are grade 1 now but their teacher did not say hv to get that. But many of my friends said it is necessary.

Hi


My girl already in her Grade 5. Have never used the metronome. Using metronome is for children not sure of their scales. It’s quite dependent and distracting.

Do not buy unless the piano teacher say so.

Finally step into Piano Master and seriously thinking of purchasing HL125.


Appreciate feedback if this is sufficient for DS1 who’s studying for Grade 5. He seems interested to pursue further thus would like something that last him as don’t think I’ll purchase another piano.

Also, may I know those who have used HL125 for a few years, any problems or changes in the tones?

By the way, if anyone is thinking of buying HL125, can PM me? Perhaps we can bargain for a better rate?

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply. I will skip it then.

I just confirm the order of Hailun Hl125 and they will deliver it tomorrow.

Heyhoe / bktan02,


Have you all tried the Hailun model H-33P, H-5 model & Wendl & Lung 122 at PianoMaster ?

If yes, are there any much difference in the touch & tone ?

Also read from somewhere that there will be new Hailun "V" series, which is supposed to be of higher quality.

I have no musical background and know nothing about touch & tone. I tried Hailun HL125 and another Hailun model which is taller but I forget what model. The taller one sound nicer but exceed my budget. So I choose HL 125 which is within my budget, better and more worth compare with the Christofori model which I saw on the same day from another shop.
