How to choose a piano? My son has been learning piano for 2 years and I want to buy him a piano. The budget is around 20,000. Could anyone please give me some advice?

Many people worry about buying a piano. They don’t know what kind of piano is best to buy. Is it more expensive, newer, or older? There are a series of factors that need to be considered, such as which piano material is made of good quality, good sound, good touch, etc. Therefore, buying a piano has become a big question. So let’s find out what kind of piano you can buy without losing money. Regardless of whether you need to buy a piano yourself, learning more knowledge is very necessary and very beneficial. Now Puyue Piano Art Center will explain how to choose a satisfactory piano.

Musical instruments are a bit like people, each instrument has a different "character" and "temper". Take pianos as an example. Using the same materials, going through the same process, manufacturing them on the same production line according to the same specifications, and selling them at the same price, a batch of pianos are different from each other.

Different people have different preferences. For example, some people like the sound to be brighter, some people like it to be softer, some people like the keys to be a little heavier, a little calmer, a little deeper, and some people like the opposite.

People who have never played piano are not easily aware of the subtle differences between different pianos. When choosing a piano, it is best to ask someone with experience in this area to help. As long as you have been in contact with pianos for a long time, you will have considerable discrimination and judgment.

1. The timbre should be avoided from being too bright or too dark.

2. The timbre should be uniform. Whether it is brighter or darker, it must be even and unified.

3. Avoid making the keys too heavy or too light. Excessive weight can easily cause stiffness in the palms and wrists and loss of flexibility. Those that are too light tend to have small intensity changes, which is not conducive to training finger strength.

4. The touch should be good. The touch is the feeling when the fingers are in contact with the keyboard, that is, the feel during playing. This feeling should be comfortable. The keys should feel friendly and considerate, and it is easy to establish a close relationship with the hands.

5. The sustain should be long. As soon as the sound of the piano is produced, it begins to fade. It's more noticeable in the treble range, where the sound disappears quickly.

Under the premise of the above five points, the color, appearance, music stand design, presence or absence of piano legs, etc. are all secondary issues. You may wish to choose when you have room for choice.
