Purchasing a Piano 

Purchasing a piano is one of the big-ticket items and major financial investment that we make in our lives. It also is usually a once-in-a-lifetime purchase.

Over the years many students and parents have asked our opinion about purchasing pianos and what makes a good piano.

Many piano professionals advocate buying the very best piano that can be afforded right from the beginning. Piano players become quickly discouraged with a poor sounding piano. The better a piano sounds and the more responsive the action, the more the pianist will want to play. This is especially important to a child who can quickly become discouraged. A piano that produces poor sound and uninteresting tones often increases the frustration level for the student who tends to often find introductory piano lessons repetitious and tedious.

Our goal at Slava School of Music, and that of most players we know, has been to find affordable, good sounding pianos that have the right combination of quality and value.

In addition to being a fine musical instrument, a piano must also be a beautiful-looking piece of furniture that complements your home. Grand pianos are classic in shape and unique in their character and sound. The provide elegance to any room. Vertical or upright pianos have a variety of cabinet styles and can be used where space is limited.

The most important points to consider when purchasing a piano are

SOUND + VALUE + APPEARANCE


Prior to looking at pianos, review your budget, the space the piano will occupy and who will be playing the piano.

It is important to spend the time and research any piano purchase you make. Don't be afraid to ask questions and seek professional advice. Play as many pianos as possible to get an idea about the differences in touch and tone.
