When it comes to buying your first Grand Acoustic Piano there a number of things to consider before you make that final purchase, and we wanted to help you out by highlight five of the most important aspects you need to think about.
How is the piano made?
Quality is paramount when buying your first Grand Acoustic Piano. Regardless of where the piano is manufactured, you are looking for a piano that is made with the finest quality. Reasons for piano’s being made in different countries has relevance to keeping costs down, ensuring customers can afford to buy them!
Who is it for? And where is it going?
Understandably you do not want to spend extortionate amounts of money on a piano if it is for a child, this is because they may lose interest and you won’t receive excellent value for money from years of beautiful music flowing through the house. Similarly, for a beginner you should be looking to buy a piano that is relatively easy to play and then if you progress into an accomplished player, there’s always the possibility to upgrade to something more valuable! However, if you are a serious pianist, you may already be looking to upgrade your current acoustic piano, hence why Yamaha provide Grand Acoustic Pianos in different series’, meeting your individual requirements.
Have you got sufficient storage space for your grand piano?
Dependent on house size, a grand acoustic piano can be idyllic, producing rich harmonies, but if you live in close proximity to your neighbours then you need to consider the potential disturbance them. If this is the case, it is possibly more realistic to look at the acoustic pianos prior to the Grand Acoustic Pianos.
What is the piano like under the hood?
Providing originality, all acoustic pianos have different qualities to offer. Therefore, if you look under the hood of the piano, you can visually see any variations (for example size, depth, colour, detail, etc.) As a result of making comparisons, you widen your understanding of the piano and therefore have the capability to choose according to your personal preferences.
Is it new or reconditioned?
Why waste money on a piano if you’re a beginner when you can find a reconditioned piano that is top quality and offers outstanding value! As a matter of fact; a reconditioned piano could be a long-term investment, the money which you save from buying a second-hand piano could be well-spent on customising the piano, and it is usually the case that they are as good as new!
Try before you buy!
Don’t buy any piano unless you are completely satisfied with the quality and condition, after all, you don’t want to buy a Grand Acoustic Piano if you don’t like the way it sounds or plays.
