HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR

GUIDE TO CHOOSE BEST PIANO FOR YOU

WHETHER YOU’RE A NEW STUDENT OF THE PIANO OR HAVE BEEN PRACTICING FOR YEARS, IT CAN BE HARD TO DECIDE WHAT TYPE OF PIANO IS BEST SUITED FOR YOUR NEEDS AND LIFESTYLE. SO WHEN YOU FINALLY DECIDE TO BUY A PIANO, YOU SHOULD ASK FEW QUESTIONS LIKE:

HOW IMPORTANT IS SOUND QUALITY TO YOU? WHERE WILL YOU PLACE THE PIANO IN YOUR HOME? HOW MUCH SPACE DO YOU HAVE? HOW MUCH WILL YOU HAVE TO SPEND TO GET A GOOD PIANO WHAT’S THE BEST PIANO FOR YOU AND MY FAMILY?

COMMITMENT TO LEARNING PIANO WE ALL ACT ON IMPULSE, ITS ONLY HUMAN! HOWEVER, WHEN THAT IMPULSE IS TO LEARN A NEW INSTRUMENT, DECIDING TO LEARN THE PIANO ISN’T A DECISION TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. YOU SHOULDN’T JUST WALK INTO THE STORE, PURCHASE THE FIRST PIANO THAT LOOKS APPEALING TO YOU AND LEAVE. CHOOSING THE BEST PIANO MAY TAKE A LOT OF INFORMATION GATHERING BEFORE YOU CAN MAKE A DECISION. IF YOU NEED THE EXTRA PUSH TO PURCHASE A PIANO, CONSIDER THIS: LEARNING TO PLAY THE PIANO OR ANY MUSICAL INSTRUMENT HELPS WITH SELFEXPRESSION, CONFIDENCE BUILDING, CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING AND IMPROVING CONCENTRATION, FOCUS, HAND-EYE COORDINATION, MEMORY & READING ABILITY.

THE PRICE OF PIANOS PIANO MODELS VARY GREATLY IN PRICE. FINDING A PRICE RANGE THAT YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH IS AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF PURCHASING A PIANO. THE GOOD NEWS FOR THOSE WHO ARE COMMITTED TO LEARNING IS THAT PRICES HAVE NEVER BEEN LOWER. IN THE PAST, ONLY THE VERY AFFLUENT COULD AFFORD TO PURCHASE A PIANO. IN 1950 A NEW BALDWIN VERTICAL PIANO SOLD FOR 5-6 TIMES THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD MONTHLY INCOME AND A GRAND PIANO FOR 12 TIMES THE AVERAGE MONTHLY INCOME. NOW, YOU WALK INTO A STORE AND SPEND AS LITTLE AS $500 TO $900 FOR A GOOD USED PIANO. THAT’S A DROP IN THE BUCKET COMPARED TO WHAT THEY USED TO SELL FOR!

SPACE REQUIRED FOR YOUR INSTRUMENT WHEN YOU’RE BUYING A PIANO IT’S UNDERSTANDABLE THAT YOU MIGHT FALL IN LOVE WITH A BEAUTIFUL STEINWAY GRAND PIANO, BUT LET’S CONSIDER THE SPACE YOU HAVE! A PIANO THAT FITS WELL IN YOUR HOME IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF REMAINING HAPPY WITH YOUR PURCHASE. IF YOUR PIANO TAKES UP TOO MUCH ROOM, YOU MIGHT GET TIRED OF IT ALWAYS BEING IN YOUR WAY. IF THE PIANO YOU CHOOSE IS SMALLER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE, YOU MIGHT NOT GET THE RICHNESS IN SOUND YOU DESIRE. MAP OUT THE SPACE FOR YOUR PIANO BY PLACING TAPE ON YOUR FLOOR. OUTLINE ITS EXACT MEASUREMENTS AND LIVE FOR A FEW DAYS WITHOUT USING THE SPACE. THIS WILL HELP YOU ENVISION WHAT HAVING A PIANO WILL BE LIKE.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY PIANO WHEN PICKING OUT A PIANO YOU NEED TO CHOOSE WITH MORE INFORMATION THAN JUST THE LOOK, PRICE, AND BRAND. YOU SHOULD SELECT A PIANO THAT SOUNDS GOOD AND FEELS GREAT WHILE PLAYING IT. WE SUGGEST, WHEN GOING INTO THE STORE, THAT YOU TEST MULTIPLE KINDS OF PIANOS TO REALLY GET THE FEEL FOR THE INSTRUMENT YOU ARE BUYING. BE SURE THAT THE TIMBRE AND TONE FITS YOUR PERSONAL TASTE.

WHEN CHOOSING A PIANO, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE RESISTANCE AND RESPONSIVENESS OF THE PIANO’S ACTION. MEANING, HOW HARD OR EASY IT IS TO PRESS DOWN ON THE KEYS AND HOW RESPONSIVE THE ACTION IS TO YOUR TOUCH.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY PIANO FURTHERMORE, IT IS GOOD TO CHECK HOW MUCH DYNAMIC RANGE THE PIANO HAS. WHEN YOU’RE PRESSING THE KEY SOFTLY IS THERE A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE FROM WHEN YOU PRESS HARDER? IF NOT, YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK AT ANOTHER PIANO BECAUSE DYNAMIC RANGE OF VOLUME IS IMPORTANT FOR OPTIMAL MUSICAL EXPERIENCE.
