All About Choosing and Buying Pianos

phankao:
Yamaha sells one, its about $40 plus for a small bottle. Otherwise, if you do not want to spend too much, you can buy Pledge from any supermarket, it does a great job too!
What kind of cleaning chemicals?
I just use 3M cloth to polish. The wood these days seem different. Last time, my old old piano (when I was kid), I really use Lemon Pledge and it worked great. My piano now just use cloth and rub nice nice to a shine.
I leave my piano lid open, so always need to have 3M cloth to standby and wipe all the dust and \"oil\" off the keys. But then having an open piano means my little 4yo would play on it every so often when he walks past the piano. Can be exploring tunes of his own or tunes he's heard before, or even working out his own songs that he's doing for lessons.
I just cannot stand the dust all over the piano, it does not help even with a full size piano cover, so always have those microfiber cloth beside the piano on standby mode

Yes, I have the microfiber cloth on standby. Pledge doesn't work for the wood of my current piano. It leaves weird streaks. So just simple polishing with microfiber cloth does it.

Purchasing a piano for your family can create a lifetime of enjoyment and intellectual stimulation. Before you spend money for either a new or used piano, a little preparation is helpful so that you purchase a piano that is appropriate for your needs and will insure your family’s musical success. The first step in choosing a piano involves establishing your musical and furniture needs to fulfill your dreams. A piano will provide elegance, sophistication and beauty to your home, so you want an instrument that will play properly and compliment your home’s décor. Musically, you need to select a piano that has the key touch and musical tone that you like. The best way to accomplish this is to visit your local retail piano dealer. Find a dealer that has a large selection of new and used pianos at various prices. It is important that you sample or have the salesperson demonstrate a wide variety of pianos. When you play each
piano, discover which piano keyboard has the touch most responsive to your fingers. Listen to many pianos to discover which tone is most appealing. You will also have an opportunity to view different cabinet and finish styles so you can select a piano that is attractive in your home. Once you discover what you want to purchase, and have an idea of the cost, you can either purchase a new or used piano from the retail dealer or attempt to locate a used piano privately. -

Hello everybody
I’m shopping for a second hand piano for my DD who is turning five. Researching and shopping for one just makes me more confuse! cause i know nuts abt pianos…
Is it more worthwhile to buy a cheaper but newer entry level one or a more pricey but older piano like a u1?
Does anyone have any comment on the yamaha m112?
Thanks all -
