All About Choosing and Buying Pianos
-
I bot mine from Yamaha 2 yrs back. Didn't know how to really choose
So decides on the 'safest' can't go wrong option! -
I was thinking of sinking a reasonably amount money for a good sounding piano. Maybe a 2nd hand u3 and as for HO, err frankly I prefer jap made. Just like cars

Me curious... Do u know how much (roughly) does a 2nd hand U3 cost? N also the px is for agak how old piano? -
I think I better check the market again:(

I got a second hand U3 (26years old) from piano gallery last year at 4.5K. So far so good, no complain.

The yen is high now so do expect to pay a bit more for 2ndhand Jap pianos as they are sourced from Japan

Hi All - Greetings!
I have taken delivery of my new Shigeru Kawai recently and hence we would need to sell away our meticulously cared for Kawai K8 that we bought new 3+ years ago to a good family.
So here’s the details:-
Model - Kawai K8 (132cm)
Colour - Polished Ebony
Serial# - 287xxxx
Age - 3+ years, bought brand new from RP Singapore.
- religiously tuned every six months by RP. Last tuning done this november 2011
- Heater is turned on since day 1 and a disposable dehumidifier is placed within cabinet and changed every 2 months.
If you like to know further details, please contact me via PM.
Thanks for reading. -
Whoa Shigeru! You certainly are a Kawai supporter.
Please don't say it's SK7 ...... or I'll go greenish with pure envy.
Can post some pics of your beautiful piano here? Both of them? -
ok… an update on our piano-shopping… keke…
we FINALLY bought a Bechstein A1… (after trying out numerous hoffmans, petrofs, yamahas, kawais, schimmels, etc etc etc…) The whole family loves it ~ for both its touch and its sound ~ so i guess we can consider the time + money well spent…
just want to say a big THANK YOU to all the nice & very helpful people who took the time to share their piano-shopping experiences & knowledge, esp markfch, rq1111, jce, KKKS, etc ~
ps. i went to the Esplanade Library recently and found that it has lots of piano scores of all genres… (pop, classical, chinese, new age, cantonese, jazz, oldies, J-pop, K-pop…) in various levels (elementary to professional). Sure wish i had discovered it sooner! drop by for a look if you’re interested ~
