Wagner pianos
on: March 25, 2006, 05:07:50 AM
I would like some general opinions on Wagner pianos please.  (quality, worksmanship, etc.)  Also, if there are any Australians about, could you please, at a guess, tell me the price of one of these over there?  Thanks.

I have played several Wagner vertical pianos which had been subjected to considerable use. They are a very moderately priced Asian made piano. The instruments that I played were inferior to comparable models by Kawai and Yamaha.

The one I've tried in my buddy's home was produced in the Czech, very similar to the Scholze (from Petrof).  Overall, good quality tone (warm), lovely touch. A little heavy but after some adjustment by the tech, it played wonderful.
Recently, I played on Wagner (made in China). IMO, it is one of the very best I have seen from China. In terms of the tone/touch/price, I prefer the Wagner over the Indonesian Yamaha N Kawai.
Anyways, what is important is you must find the piano that feels good, sounds good. And a best dealer support before you buy it....  ;)
