How to buy your first piano

Of course, what kind and what grade of piano to buy, you should first consider from your own family's economic situation, and at the same time consider it according to your own or your child's actual situation of learning piano. If the economic situation is average, be careful with budgets; If the economic conditions are good, you should also consider it carefully, and you don't have to spend money in vain.

**Hive recommends that for beginners, if the economic situation is average, you can consider the entry-level piano at the price of 4000 6000; If the economic situation is good, you can consider buying a piano with more than 2w yuan, such a piano; Of course, if you plan to take the piano as a future career or career, a good piano is still needed. If you just start from a hobby or want to learn a skill, you don't necessarily have to buy a new piano, and it is a good choice to find a knowledgeable friend to help you choose a second-hand piano with good performance. Similar second-hand pianos** should be more than 10,000.

As for the brand, you can also consider domestic pianos, Guangzhou Zhujiang, Beijing Xinghai, and Shanghai Strauss are all famous brands in domestic pianos. The performance of the domestic brand-name piano is good, the ** is relatively stable and moderate, and it is enough to learn the piano. However, there is still a certain gap between domestic pianos and other world-class famous brand pianos, but the sound quality, feel, and performance of buying high-quality domestic pianos are good, and beginners are very suitable.

Domestic joint venture or wholly-owned brand-name pianos are also very good. German Herfmann, Bernstein, Japanese Yamaha, Beijing Cavai, Tianjin Yingchang, Bergman brand pianos, Shanghai Zhongya Piano Co., Ltd. produced American brand Carracker, etc. With a high starting point of production technology, high brand awareness and good quality, it is the domestic high-end piano market.

Other world-famous pianos: German Steinway, German Bechstein, Austrian Beessendorf, Czech Bohemia, etc., because all are handmade, the output is not large, and the output is high. The top piano that belongs to China.

Buy a piano or choose a famous brand, a total of more than 8,000 parts, miscellaneous brands are not good to ensure quality, maybe it is easy to change the tone.

Finally, you have decided to buy a certain kind of piano, and you should pay more attention to the timbre when buying a piano, and remember to find a piano tuner in a professional musical instrument shop to help you tune the piano after buying a piano. Pianos generally do not have to worry about the service life, now the quality of pianos is generally improved, and it is no problem to use them for twenty or thirty years.

It is recommended that you try ** piano lessons, children can learn piano at home without leaving home, and the teaching and sparring are integrated. Hive is a 1-to-1 piano teaching expert focusing on children aged 4-12. Since 2016, professor-level experts such as **** college, Shenyang ** college, Taiwan child psychologist, and French ** producer have jointly developed and created an exclusive animation plot interactive classroom.

Through AI intelligent black technology and patented hardware, the piano learning and practice are perfectly integrated into one APP, with full-time teachers who graduated from the National Music Academy as the teaching link, which effectively stimulates children's initiative and interest in learning the piano, so that parents can save worry and effort, and completely smash the pain of learning the piano in the traditional way.

Choose the Pearl River piano, anyway, we have used a Pearl River for 25 years, and now every string rings. The point is that there are very few situations where you can't lift the keys.

If you buy a domestic piano for about 50,000 yuan, it is more than enough, and you can choose a better series of Pearl River. It's hard to buy a Japanese Yamaha, so if you can add some money, I recommend trying kawaii.

There are many brands to choose from on the piano, 50,000 can meet the piano of the German national treasure Bransler, 50,000 can choose its highest O'Miller artist series, and in 2008, Germany ** presented China's national gift, and the sound feel is first-class. It is recommended to go to a physical store.

Choosing a piano is also a fate. Try each brand feel for yourself. Different piano experiences are different.

There is also the type of music I like to play, classical and popular. The sound quality characteristics of each brand are different. It's best to try it out on the spot and feel the sound quality.

According to the current **, 50,000 yuan can buy a lot of good pianos. Germany's Bolwina, Japan's Yamaha, Kawaii, and Furrich are all good choices. These brands of pianos, whether it is the configuration or timbre, are all believed, and I will never regret buying them.

But the point is, it depends on which brand of physical store you are in, it is not recommended to buy large products such as pianos online, you had better go to the physical store in person to listen to the sound, play and feel, buy it in the physical store, and the later after-sales rate is guaranteed.

If you want to buy a piano, you should pay attention to the following aspects:

1. The key to piano quality is the soundboard material and core technology.

The most critical quality judgment of the piano depends on the soundboard material and core technology. The soundboard is the soul of a piano, one of the core components of the piano, and the core technology is an important reliance for the survival of an enterprise. A good soundboard, the core technology is hard enough, in order to create a good piano with pure timbre.

If you don't know the technical parameters of the piano, the safest way is to choose a mainstream brand.

Some people say that the height of the piano also affects the quality of the tone. That's for sure, but it's not absolute. The higher the height, the richer the sound quality and resonance of the piano, but this is limited to the vertical comparison of the same brand and process piano.

2. Intuitively judge the quality of the piano and pay attention to these two aspects.

If you want to intuitively judge the quality of a piano, you can start from the following two aspects:

First, look at the production process of the piano.

It is necessary to have the uniformity of the gaps in the keys, the brightness of the paint, and open the top cover of the piano to observe the fineness and uniformity of the spinning machine and the internal parts of the piano. It turns out that the comparison between a good piano and a bad piano is very different in these aspects, and this is something that customers can find with a little careful observation and comparison, which is very accurate and effective.

Second, listen to the piano tone.

Listen to whether the timbre of the piano is even, not suddenly bright and crisp, suddenly soft and dull, and the timbre is not uniform, which will cause the player to not be able to express emotions and colors well through timbre control. In addition, listen to whether the piano has a beautiful tone. The piano tone should be so bright and crisp that it is dry or even piercing, nor soft and dull enough to give the impression of a muffled voice, and a good tone should be in a balanced position between the two.

If you want to buy a piano, you must first consider the brand of the piano, and secondly, it is best to ask a professional pianist to help you choose.

Brand, durability. Quality in all aspects!! Public praise. Efficiency. Quality! Wait a minute!

The first is the brand, the second is the feel and tone, the configuration.

Comprehensive analysis of brand, origin, materials, workmanship, and performance, listen more and watch more.

Now the piano process is okay, as long as you can accept it, there is no problem.

As a professional can tell you that there is no suitable piano, only your money is suitable for which stage of the piano.

Because the piano is about value.

There are nearly 3,000 parts of the whole body, including resonance, steel plates, and action.

Moreover, assembling high-end pianos can only be done manually, because the experience factor in this is not a point.

The value of the piano can only be reflected in the **.

How much do you have in your purse?

The piano can be said to be nice to listen to and play. It can be tens of millions, or hundreds of millions.

Of course, the cheap ones can be a few thousand, or 1-20,000 yuan.

So if you are a professional college person, I believe you can go to Yamaha.

In Asia, I like Yamaha, and there is kawaii on the same line.

Feel Yamaha first, followed by kawaii.

If it's not a professional choice, it's bigger.

Cost-effective, you can choose second-hand pianos, and now the most in China are Sanyi and Yingchang.

When buying this kind of piano, you must be careful not to buy antiques, so you are not familiar with the hardware parameters on the premise.

Consciously bring a professional maintenance teacher. (Note here that not all piano teachers know the piano, maybe they just know how to play).

This kind of piano ** in about 10,000 may get 8-9 into new, modern models.

If you can pick the naked piano directly, you can get it cheaper, of course, this will pick is a technical job.

If the funds are around 156,000, you can directly consider the new qin, and the Pearl River 118 teaching classic qin.

There is nothing good about this piano, only one benefit, durability.

It is normal to estimate hardware parameters in 10 years. But this piano doesn't want to pursue any tone.

This piano has no sound, in my eyes it is this kind of goods.

If 178, you can buy a better Pearl River model, such as the 121 series. Or Ginsburg's piano.

Yantai's piano, this piano has a good timbre, and the hardware is okay. Because as far as the domestic piano is concerned.

If the purse is more than 20,000.

You can go on the Toyoma, Kawaii, Yamaha 118 low-end, Yangtze, Caesar series.

I'm too lazy to hurt people when I'm listed on the other lists. These categories are fairly verified by the national light industry every year.

Therefore, the quality yourself goes to see the annual light industry newspaper.

Of course, you are not convinced. For Sa, just talk about money, how did I learn the piano?

I just want to pick a piano that suits me?

I can tell you, that's the money thing. Because people don't recognize the goods, money recognizes the goods. That's it.

What do you say? For a layman who wants to buy an in-house piano, don't think about it. It's an industry you can't get.

At first glance, the appearance is mainly for the appearance control, generally speaking, most of them are black or close to black is the best. Look at the texture of the wood board and look at the lacquer decoration (buy kawaii Ya Maha's children's shoes, pay attention to open the window more when playing, the paint smell is too strong); The external structure of the piano with good craftsmanship is designed to be compact and smooth. The keyboard of the well-crafted piano is smooth and the key gap is even; The keys are elastic and tight to the touch, not loose and not shifting.

The weight of the secondary keyboard is the most basic requirement, because the performance is generally a grand piano, and the keyboard has weight. Strength training is an indispensable basic skill for the future learning and improvement of the piano child's level. Touch the keys with your fingers to see if the keys rebound quickly, whether they slide your fingers, and whether the weight of the keys is moderate.

Upright pianos generally have a heavy keyboard, but the ** high-end piano is very close. The electric piano imitates the mechanical sound structure of the grand piano, using a step-by-step weighted keyboard, 128 levels of dynamic response, and the sensitive response and delicate dynamics changes are infinitely close to the keyboard weight of the grand piano, and the quality of about 6k is already quite good.

Due to the mechanical structure of the grand piano, the piano boy will have a feedback every time he touches the key, similar to "click", which is called the release of the keyboard. Different ways of touching the keys will produce different sounds. Use your fingers to gently press the keys, without making a sound, whether there is a sense of release of stuttering, touch the keyboard, feel whether the sound is delicate, slow playing, whether the sound is full; Quick touch of the key, whether the sound is complete, do not drop the sound.

Piano is an expensive durable consumer product, many tens of thousands of pianos feel good timbre when they just come into contact, but they can't play for a few years, it's far away, change accessories, tune. All sorts of problems followed. The electric piano uses three-contact weighted keys and four layers of sampling to truly imitate the timbre of the grand piano, which can achieve sensitivity and feedback to the piano touch keys, and the timbre is accurate and never tuned.

Fourth, cost-effective. Compared with the grand piano and upright piano, the electric piano has built-in timbre of many other instruments, which can increase the interest of learning piano while practicing the piano, and maintain the curiosity of the piano child and persevere.

The entry level of electric steel is generally more than 3,000, and more than 5,000 is completely sufficient. After all, not everyone can casually buy a five-figure toy, not to mention the tuning fee of those real pianos in the later stage (the degree is almost once a month or two, two or three hundred at a time) Moreover, the electric piano has a compact design, which is very easy to transport and carry, and if you want to record, it is even more abusive to real steel.

Finally, to sum up, everything depends on whether it is suitable or not, if you think that electric steel is suitable for you, you can buy electric steel, and you want to add tens of thousands of real steel is no problem. After all, it's your ears and your heart that serve. And some real steel with a low price of one or two hundred thousand is really not as good as the performance of electric steel.

1 When buying a piano, just look at the appearance and see if there are any bumps.

2 Piano performance, timbre, volume and keyboard touch 3 Choose the right piano for you according to your personality and hobbies. Most extroverted users prefer brighter sounds; Introverts tend to prefer a softer piano tone.

4 Play the same piece of music on different pianos with the same dynamics to see which one sounds better.

5. Disassemble the piano, check whether the parts inside are installed and debugged correctly, and check the tightness of the pins with a tuning wrench. If it is loose when it is in a new condition, it will be difficult to maintain the intonation after a few years, and the user will have to bear the unnecessary cost of changing the shaft.

6 The most important thing is that the timbre of the piano must be uniform. The tone of a piano, whether bright or soft, must be relatively uniform. Otherwise, it will sound uncomfortable when you play the song.

7. When choosing a piano, it is best to choose a louder volume, because the louder the sound, the better the vibration performance of the soundboard, and the better the selection of materials.

8 The touch of the piano is also very important, which may affect whether the user can successfully master the correct way to play the piano during the process of learning the piano.

9. The strength of the keyboard should not be too light, because this is not conducive to exercising the fingers enough playing power, and even making the fingers unable to stand up like playing an electronic piano, resulting in a lack of granularity and blurred notes when playing quickly. On the contrary, too much strength on the keyboard will also cause the fingers to be unable to run on the keyboard, affecting the playing speed. Younger children have weak fingers, and practicing on a heavy keyboard is more likely to cause finger injury.
