Buying a Grand
Piano
Listed below are things to consider before buying a grand piano.
Money - Since the tone will be better with longer strings and bigger soundboard, buy the tallest upright or the longest grand that you can afford. Proficiency Level - It’s a good idea to purchase a piano of higher quality than you think you’re up for, and then grow into it gradually. You can aim your purchase toward the most advanced quality if there are several pianists in your family. A higher quality piano holds its value well over time and becomes an excellent investment. If piano lessons don't work out in the family, you can at least sell it at a price fairly close to what you paid for it. Grand or Upright - The deciding factors here will be space, money, and proficiency. In general, grand pianos are superior to uprights since the action of a grand piano allows for faster repetition of notes, and for better, more subtle control of expression and tone than upright pianos. However, any grand piano measuring 5 feet long should be avoided as a serious instrument. A full sized upright will sound better than a baby grand, at a cheaper cost. The Best Brands for Pianos - Countries like the U.S., Austria, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Korea, Japan, Indonesia, China and Russia all produce excellent pianos and the market is flooded with many superb instruments. It is impossible to generalize the quality of one brand over another with so many models and price points offering different features for different segments of the public. Before you purchase, have the piano inspected by a piano technician. The technician will provide you inside information on the make and model you are considering. Furniture - Don't let aesthetics be the deciding factor in purchasing a fine quality musical instrument, judging more closely the quality of construction, the tone and the feel of the keyboard. Take Your Time - Browse around for a while before making any snap decisions. Try to see as many pianos as possible and visit all reputable piano retailers available to you. Try playing on every instrument to weigh differences in tone and touch. Steinway Grand Piano, Model M, Ebony, Chicago IL
