How To Choose A Piano

By Timothy Rabkier


Music heals the soul and caresses the heart.It is a blend of tones arranged in a beautiful manner.It cures tired minds and heals aching bodies.Can you even imagine our world without music?The piano is by far the most beautifully sounding acoustic instrument ever created.In an orchestra or played solo, it stands out.If you are thinking of purchasing your very own piano, here are a few simple tips:

Budget.Do you have enough money?A piano is expensive because of its size and durability. You may want toown one which is electronic like the Casio piano. Their CTK2100 model has 61 keys and has a usb port for playing mp3.

Brand new or used?A piano can have a lifespan of 40 years if well cared for, unlike most instruments.The value of a piano depreciates very little every year, thus, it is a good investment.In buying a piano, you have to decide which would you rather have, a new or a used piano.Although up to three times more expensive than used pianos, a new piano has an impeccable pitch and crisp tone.The question is, can you afford it?In choosing a piano, you should be accompanied by a piano technician, tuner or a piano teacher because just by listening to the sound of the keys they will know whether it is new or used.

The size.What is the floor area of the space you are going to place it in?Can it accommodate the size of the piano you chose?Grand pianos are costly because they are huge and require 5 to 9 feet of floor space.

Piano Style.You have to carefully examine the type of material used, the carving, the overall impact of the piano before finally deciding.People would usually get a piano that also blends with their home furnishings.
