[quote=\"Byusmommie\"]Hailun HL125 seems to have loads of good reviews. But when i checked the Piano review.com, Weber seems to have a better rating than Hailun.


Is anybody out there using Weber? The more I searched, the more curious I am. Why is it that there seems like nobody ever make a review about Weber? :slapshead:
Thanks all for the kind reply.

I'm bought HL125 less that 18 months now the bass sound and upper sound are same tunes. In fact I dun buy china piano. Is because they cheaper and got a lot of good feedback when I try and buy that I know the result. But I sister she Wagner piano was buy from Malaysia until now almost 3 years the sound is nice and got random.

Tried out the 2 Webers at Christofori's warehouse showroom. Mechanism was good, and I almost decided to buy the walnut-coloured one. Think I went there at least twice, or maybe 3 times, to evaluate, and played the same tunes on them, within a span of one or two weeks. Both Webers sounded good and crisp at first, then later sounded out of tune. Bass notes lacked body as well, so out of the selection list they went.

Hmm.. I had a 2nd-hand Weber for some 14 years before I traded it in when I bought another 2nd-hand piano. I was quite happy with it. My girl used it for practising even for her G8 exam.[/quote]

Choosing your piano should be a pleasant experience. It’s an event that the whole family can get involved in and enjoy making a selection. But before you do anything, you should first decide whether you want a upright or a grand piano. Second whether it would be an acoustic or a digital piano. Finally, decide how much you want to spend. Now, we can start a journey to finding a suitable piano for you.

Hi, we are planning to start DS 6yo for 1 to 1 piano lessons. Have not found teacher yet and searching for a piano. DH and me do not have music background and really don’t know what to look for in a piano.


We do not intend to splurge so what is a good budget to look at for a decent piano to last a few years (DD will start maybe 1 year later). We are not looking at exams for the kids.

is 3K reasonable ?
is there anything in that range ? We are ok with 2nd hand piano too or show room pieces.
which brand can we look at in that range ?
Someone recommended Schumann.

Would appreciate your advise as we are really clueless. TIA

Hi

My son has been learning piano for a year. Last year, when he just started learning piano, I bought a Yamaha keyboard to let him practice. I did not decide to buy a piano then as I do not know whether he is really interested in playing the piano.

Lately, his piano teacher has requested that we buy one if he intends to go for piano exam. Hence I would like to buy a second hand yahama U1. Anyone intend to sell his piano?

Also, anyone interested to buy yahama keyboard?

Regards
Bored mum

please guys, do not buy second hand piano if you dun have the money. do you know second hand piano cost more than a brand new one when it comes to repair cost, tunings, repairs etc???

do you know rust can spread to the rest of the components inside and not visible to customer when purchasing it?

Yamaha main market is what? besides motor vehicles, the next market is making of musical instruments.

Well, when you consider budget, ie. you have $1000 and buy the best Yamaha you can afford vs best Casio you can afford.... it's not so simple anymore.

Same sentiment.

My kid learning piano now, 1 to 1 at Cristofori. He enjoyed his lesson with his teacher so far.
I need to get a piano too, first, budget around 3 K but heard 3K is hard to get reasonably good one. So i upped my budget to 5K............i have yet to shop. Can anyone of u feedback what u bought which is so far so good? I do not want to splurge further as i worry kid won't want to play after 2, 3 years down the road. He’s 6ish now. Actually am learning too………but very hard for me, hands, eyes, legs all cannot coordinates almost want to give up!

Some one mentioned Yamaha U1, may i know how much?

[mamii]

HI ksks3mum, did you check with his teacher what would fit your budget ?


I think U1 is 9K, not sure if i am right.

[jce]

A brand new U1 would be around that price. Secondhand ones will cost less, around 4k, depending on the condition
