Piano advice and help on buying an acoustic piano.
The oldest trick of the trade is to suggest a tired or used budget piano that was acquired for next to nothing in a part-exchange, as ideal for grade 2 or 3. It is as simple as this: a piano either works properly – consistently and reliably, at concert pitch, or it doesn’t. Even to complete grade 1, the piano must work properly.
Take advantage of our piano advice and information pages to gain valuable knowledge about the piano industry and basic technical understanding of how pianos work, and what makes some pianos better than others.
