Creating and performing music promotes self-expression and provides self-gratification while giving pleasure to others. Pianos are a critical part of the music world. Often called the King of Instruments, the piano covers the entire spectrum of notes in an orchestra and has been critical in the development of Western music.

A common question is whether to buy a new or a used (pre-owned) piano. Both New And Used Pianos carry considerable significance, but the choice depends on individual circumstances, tastes and budget. Firsthand experience with a range of different pianos is the best way for the buyer to define his or her individual priorities in tone, touch and cabinet design.

A New Piano is un-used and its casework is supposed to be in the perfect condition. One can ensure that the piano will be properly cared for and maintained regularly to a high standard. For these reasons, new pianos are generally expensive.

Used Pianos are chosen by people who realize that investing in a restored instrument is often an affordable alternative to buying a costly new one. In most cases, the quality of these antique and vintage instruments is far superior to ones being manufactured today. Used Grand, Used Steinway, Used Player & Used Vertical Pianos are classic examples that are preferred by various people for their outstanding sound quality brought about by complete restoration.

Used Pianos are a good option to buy as they undergo reconditioning. This means bringing them into the best possible playing condition using the existing parts, i.e. existing hammers, string, action, etc. This also includes touching up or refinishing the existing case. ‘Fully rebuilding’ or ‘fully restoring’ means putting the piano into as close to brand new or its original new condition as possible, within reason.

As pianos age, their longevity, that is, their ability to deliver satisfaction depends on careful and consistent regulation. This should be ideally done every 5-7yrs, tuning should be done yearly and voicing, whenever required. If this maintenance is carried out in a timely manner, a piano, new or used, will deliver years of pleasure and become a family heirloom.

To live without music is to live impoverished. There is a lot that a pianist goes through under the hood to deliver music that heals, teaches, and brings both patience and contention, with the scintillating notes that mesmerize!
