Hi bktan02


Care to share how much did you pay for your HL 125?

What are the items they gave from the piano master?

tiredmummy1972:

I am going to confirm a 2nd hand 6yr old Pearl River ( UP-108M) piano @ $1400. is the price ok?

I do not understand of all Pearl River and you choose the above model. I find it too hard for most children. I hope that your children will not give up especially they are beginners. Good Luck.

The taller one sound nicer but exceed my budget.

Taller one are Upright Grand. Definitely sound better than those height below 127cm

Hey,


I bought my second hand piano from pianogallery. Some of their pianos there are in excellent condition despite their 25-30 years of age. 10yrs warranty so you dont have to worry… I advise you to bring a seasoned pianists along so he or she will be able to advise you regarding the sound.

Do enquire on their next stock taking and do rush once the stocks arrive! The yamaha U3 and Kawai K5s run out pretty quick.

Hi,

Anyone bought their piano from Asia piano before? Any feedback?
Thinking of whether to get a 2nd hand piano from them or cristfori?

[jce]

IMO, a piano from Asia Piano will be better than a BN one from Cristofori.

Hi,

May I check how is the quality of a yamaha c108 piano? Suitable for beginner? Can last until grade 8?
Hw much will. 2nd hand one cost? Year 2000 one?

Thanks

[jce]

C108 is a beginner’s piano, won’t take up to grade 8 in terms of "requirements" needed for that level. Having said that, there are those in high grades using pianos that are even lower in standard than C108… the tool is important in order to achieve, refine, what is required at high grades but even more important is the person who is playing.


As for price, it will depend on how well it has been maintained, probably in the region of 1k?

Hi jce,


Thanks for your reply.
Do you think yamaha c108 will b suitable for my gal who jus started learning piano for half a year? I am getting of getting a cheap one first, then change to a better one when she really enjoy piano.
