Pianos

Advantages: Full piano length keyboard and its cheaper than a real piano
Disadvantages: You need a mains supply nearby

I bought this digital piano about 3 months ago and its great. At the time I was on my grade 6 in piano and was getting a bit fed up of my little keyboard of having too few keys and not having two pedals so I persuaded my dad in letting me buy a digital piano. This is much better than a normal piano because you don’t have to ever tune it and it is much cheaper to buy in the first place. It is about £1000 cheaper than a normal piano and so in the long ...
...money saved in hiring a tuner. It will always work and be in tune unless you get a power cut but that’s very unlikely. Some other advantages of it are the other sounds other than just a grand piano. There is a guitar and even a choir. Now you won’t get different sounds with real pianos. You are even able to transpose the sound. This is great to play around as when I get fed up of repeating the same piece over and over, its fun to play around with ... Read review

Advantages: Responsive, beautiful tone, elegant
Disadvantages: Hard to clean, loud!

...reality of this instrument. Yamaha have been manufacturing musical instruments for years, and are NOT a cheap option as imports generally are. These are top of the range models, they look beautifully finished and every detail is thought out. My Yamaha shines in the sun, and gleams even when dusty. It is a real focal point in any home, not only is it an instrument but it is a piece of furniture. One downside to this piano is the stats of its size: ...
...a less responsive action. Yamaha is the brand to go for if you want a superior upright, without the extortionate cost of a Steinway. But it is vital that you consider the risks of buying second hand. You should be able to get a decent used U3 for around £2-3000, but to be honest it's not worth the hassle. You can't really tell the condition of the soundboard, how much wear it's had and whether it needs a complete overhaul. The only problem with ... Read review

Advantages: Lovely action, fantastic sound
Disadvantages: Having to go to Swansea to get it!

...only current importer of the Bechstein Euterpe. We live in Hampshire so we set off for the long journey to Swansea. I am so glad we did. The attention and service we received was far in excess of any we received elsewhere. My three daughters and I were there for three hours. They staff were so patient with us. We all four chose different pianos to try and played them simultaneously. It was a dreadful cacophany!! In time we each played every piano, ...
...It was very strident. The Bechstein has a beautiful sound and a terrific action. It almost plays for you. It is also very even in sound and touch.My tuner was so thrilled he came to play it on his way to work very early one morning! We are all truly in love with this wonderful piano. It is in a similar price bracket to the Yamaha U1 so is not out of reach financially. Since purchasing my piano Bechstein have changed the name from Euterpe to Hoffman. ... Read review

Advantages: Quality of materials and construction. Tone quality.
Disadvantages: Large size. Cost.

...the many piano manufacturers. Steinway pianos are famous for their quality of tone, and this applies across the range to all of their grands and uprights. The greater the string length the better the sound - in theory, so the large K-52 should be a great sounding instrument. The tone depends on other factors such as the soundboard, the general resonance of the case, the condition of the strings and the correct settings of the action. The strings ...
...to put right. The Steinway pianos have always been among the best that money can buy, and they have always been built to a standard and not to a price. My piano may look a little dated with the inlaid carved wood, and the carefully covered holes which originally held the candle-holders. A piano which has reached the grand age of 115 years will certainly have had work done on it, and the quality of the restoration work affects the way the instrument ... Read review
