All About Choosing and Buying Pianos
-
Another uncommon piano. You bought yours from Cristofori at Funan? Did the sales guy play ‘The Last Waltz’ as demo? That’s what he did for me every time I went there few years back. He played on the C Bechstein upright there - very nice. Wish son can play like that.
Can post some pics of your beautiful piano too? -
Congrats Intermezzo and Steppy on your purchase. Bechstein has very mixed reviews but as long as the pianist is happy and the family is happy, it's good
By the way, Steppy, can you PM me the price of your K8. May have someone who's interested. Thanks. -

it's just a normal upright piano, about 125 cm tall.. not an upright-grand if that's what you mean?
didn't get to hear the Last Waltz for demo.. what a pity..
maybe the guy wasn't there on that day.. we had to demo DIY..
so which piano did u get? -

Congratulations, Intermezzo!! Bechstein-A1 is a wonderful piano based on many reviews. My daughter had a chance to play both Bechstein-A1 and Bechstein-124 few months back and our family loved the tone of both pianos. I am not sure how to describe the color of the tone, but it is definitely crystal clear, pure and sweet. Somehow, it reminded me something similar to the Grotrian-132 that we tried a year ago at Pianomaster. Enjoy!!

Yalor, Last Waltz contains some arpeggios which made for beautiful music.

I got the Sauter M1 in the end. Very nice piano too - even had my son's name engraved on it. So now if I ever have to sell this piano for whatever reason, I just need to find a buyer with the same name as my son. :yikes: -
What’s your son’s name? I don’t mind a Sauter. Perhaps I should name my future son after yours just so that I can buy it off you! Haha!
-
Great! So engraving my son's name into the M1 isn't such a dumb thing to do financially after all, hahaha.
