Buying A Piano? Some Popular Questions

Choosing a good piano is a major step along the way to perfecting your performance and honing your skills. Whether you're purchasing your very first piano, or you are an experienced buyer, it is essential to know what you're looking for in your piano to ensure it's worth your investment.

When should I buy a piano?

Don't wait to purchase a piano or keyboard if you have enrolled or are planning to enroll your child in piano lessons. My advice is to get the best instrument you can afford because pianos hold their value. If your child later decides that piano is not their cup of tea, you can always sell it for about what you paid for it. Another reason to get the best piano or keyboard you can afford is that quality matters.

Why should I purchase a piano for my child?

Students who go on to excel in piano have had a quality piano or keyboard to practice on at home.


How do I know which is better for my family?

If volume is a factor for you, get a keyboard with headphones. With this feature your piano student can still practice while his sister is doing her homework. If space is a factor, you should also consider a keyboard. Another advantage of a keyboard is that you can take it with you to grandma's house. She'll love it!
