Without a doubt, the piano is one of the most beautiful sounding instruments. Not only can one play it solo but it blends just as well with other instruments as well as evidenced in a number of concertos.
If you’re in the process of buying a piano, here are 4 tips that should help::
#1: Budget
Pianos cost more than most other instruments because it is far more durable than most others. This is something that you should keep in mind and which is why how much you’re willing to spend should be considered first and foremost.
#2: Size
It’s a good idea to know how much floor space you have because there are pianos that range between 5 to 9 feet. For example, the grand piano is large and isn’t surprisingly more expensive than other pianos. So, it’s a good idea to research piano sizes and figure which one suits you best be it the spinet or even the grand piano.
#3: New or Used
If you take care of your piano, you’ll find that it can last (and work flawlessly) for almost 40 years. Even though it is expensive, it lasts for a long time when properly cared for, compared to other instruments. So, it is a good idea to know whether you can buy a used or new piano. Don’t forget to take a piano teacher, pianist or even a piano tuner who can inspect the piano before you buy it.
#4: Style
Since some people buy a piano so as to complement their home furnishings, it’s not such a bad idea to think about the style of piano that you’d like. Some factors such as the style of the piano cabinet, leg design, music rack, the color and the look of the piano are worth looking at closely.
