Piano For Sale In Melbourne

By Slanikan Kolahata


If you are looking for a piano for sale in Melbourne then you have several options to choose from. Depending on the price you are willing to spend there are different styles available to fit your needs.

You will need to decide if you wish to buy a new instrument or a second-hand piece. New instruments come with a warranty but often take time to settle and may require tuning quite often at first. Older pianos require less tuning and can be found to complement older style decor in house.

How much space you have4 available is another requirement when buying an instrument for your house or apartment. Grand pianos take up a huge amount of space and need to be placed in a large room for acoustics reasons. Baby grand pianos are smaller but still need a fairly large room so the audience can be seated as far away as possible to get the best sound. Upright pianos are practical for smaller areas and only need an internal wall to reverberate the sound off.

The type of instrument should also be considered. There is a debate over traditional and electronic instruments. Electronic pianos tend to take up about the same amount of space as an upright but do not require yearly tuning, weighted versions are available which feel more like playing a true piano. Traditional piano-fortes will require regular tuning but are believed by many to produce the best sound.

Buying second-hand can reduce the cost but you have no guarantees of quality. The best place to look is your local newspaper or on a website with classified adverts. When collecting your instrument make sure you have several strong friends available to help lift.

Music stores normally offer home delivery for the instrument. These pieces come with a warranty which will offer you piece of mind. New pianos are available in a variety of colours so if you are looking for something specific a store may be a good place to start.
