New piano
on: October 22, 2007, 09:01:23 PM
I need to buy a nice, upright piano. NOT DIGITAL. My budget is about £1500 'cause i'm really poor. I'd like it to be shiny and black as well. I don't really know why. Any suggestions?

Buy secondhand, private. You can get a new piano for that but it will be a small Chinese one. Buying trade you'll get something not very special for the same sum, but hunt around a bit and you should be able to pick something up.
Instrumentalists are all wannabe singers. Discuss.

Try STEINER, manufactured by by Samick Musical Instrument Mfg, Inchon, South Korea. My piano student bought for herself an upright last year and is very happy with it. Even with Indian import duties (quite high!) the price came to close to your budget.
