In the 55 plus years I have been involved in the piano industry one of the most asked questions is" when do I know it's time for a different piano"
My answer is always the same. You will feel it in your musical senses. As you progress through the improving stages of playing you will almost instinctively know when it's time to move ahead.
There seems to be quite a few used Steinway pianos available both in store and online these days.
Many people are asking if these used Steinway products are a good value, the answer is both yes, and no. With many variables in play.
Some people think that learning a new skill or instrument as an adult is difficult. This belief often prevents people from diving into a hobby that would bring them joy and even improve their lives.
Many people ask, should I rent a piano before I buy one? or even, should I rent a piano instead of buying one altogether?
If you already own an acoustic grand or upright piano, but you have your eye on a shiny new one, there may be opportunities for you to use your existing piano to purchase the piano of your dreams.
Just like most things, becoming a great pianist takes lots and lots of practice.
Making daily practice a part of your routine can help you achieve your musical goals.
Many people these days seem to be interested in the industries heavily promoted “hybrid pianos" as an alternative to acoustic models.
Most of the instruments sold as hybrids are actually digital pianos with regular piano actions to get a closer to acoustic feel. The digital manufacturers have been improving the actions since day one to try to come as close to an acoustic experience while playing as possible, and this is the ultimate outcome.
