Tips for Choosing Between New and Used Pianos

posted by

Are you in the market for a piano but torn between buying new or opting for a used one? We get it; it can be a difficult choice. Each has benefits to offer. Each can make your piano playing experience unique and exciting. Which one is right for you? 

Reasons to Consider a New Piano:

  • Warranty and Reliability: Many piano players purchase a new piano for a full manufacturer’s warranty. This warranty often covers parts and labor for a certain period, providing peace of mind against unexpected repairs. Not that you ever hope to use it; it’s new and should give you years of enjoyment without immediate technical issues or wear and tear. But it’s nice to know you have it …
  • Customization and Modern Features: Buying new allows you to select from the latest models with advanced features and customization options. You can choose the finish, style, and even technological integrations like MIDI connectivity or digital interfaces, tailoring the piano to your specific preferences and needs.
  • Longevity and Resale Value: New pianos typically come with a longer lifespan compared to used ones, especially if well-maintained. This longevity can translate into better resale value if you decide to upgrade or sell your instrument in the future. Additionally, a new piano’s resale value tends to be more predictable than a used piano.

Reasons to Consider a Used Piano:

  • Affordability and Value: What if you could have a high-quality piano at a fraction of the price? What if it was a model you never expected to own, yet it can sit prominently in your home by purchasing used? That’s one of the most compelling reasons to consider a used piano. Used pianos often come at a significantly lower price point than their new counterparts, allowing you to access higher-quality instruments within your budget. With careful selection, you can find a well-maintained, quality piano at a fraction of the cost of a new one.
  • Vintage Charm and Character: Used pianos carry a unique charm and character that can enhance your playing experience. Vintage instruments may have a rich history and a distinctive sound that adds depth and personality to your music. Additionally, older pianos often feature solid craftsmanship and materials contributing to their enduring appeal.
  • Immediate Availability and Established Sound: Unlike new pianos, which may require ordering and waiting for delivery, used pianos are often readily available for immediate purchase. You can try out different instruments and find one that immediately resonates with you. Used pianos have already settled into their sound, allowing you to hear and appreciate their tonal qualities from the start.

So, what’s the right piano to suit your needs? Ultimately, the decision between a new and used piano depends on your budget, preferences, and priorities. 

Whether you opt for the pristine condition of a new piano or the timeless allure of a used one, the most important thing is to find a piano that inspires and supports your musical journey.

7 May 2024 How To Use a Metronome And Play Better Immediately

How To Use a Metronome And Play Better Immediately

posted by

One, two, three, four. How do you get even better at playing the piano?

Practice. But practice is more than just sitting down and playing. You have to work at perfecting your practice. Feel the beat. Feel the rhythm. And have more fun creating your music. 

One tool that can greatly enhance your skills is the metronome. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced pianist looking to improve, incorporating the metronome into your practice routine can yield immediate results.

Step 1: Set Your Tempo

Start by selecting a tempo that matches the piece of music you’re practicing or a comfortable pace for your exercises. The metronome allows you to adjust the tempo to your liking, so experiment until you find a speed that challenges you without feeling overwhelming.

Step 2: Focus on Timing

Once you’ve set the tempo, focus on perfectly synchronizing each note or chord with the metronome’s clicks or beats. Pay close attention to maintaining a consistent rhythm throughout your practice session, as this will train your sense of timing and help you develop a steady tempo.

Step 3: Start Slowly

If you’re new to using a metronome, start at a slower tempo and gradually increase the speed as you become more comfortable and confident in your playing. This gradual progression allows you to build muscle memory and accuracy without sacrificing precision.

Step 4: Practice Regularly

Consistency is key to improving your piano skills. Incorporate metronome practice into your daily routine, even if it’s just for a few minutes each day. Over time, you’ll notice significant improvements in your timing, coordination, and overall musicality.

Step 5: Experiment with Different Rhythms

Challenge yourself by experimenting with different rhythms and time signatures. This will not only expand your musical repertoire but also sharpen your ability to adapt to various rhythmic patterns, making you a more versatile and expressive pianist.

Step 6: Listen Critically

As you practice with the metronome, listen critically to your playing and adjust accordingly. Pay attention to any discrepancies between your timing and the metronome’s beats, and strive to correct them with each repetition. The goal is to achieve precision and accuracy in every note you play.

Step 7: Stay Patient and Persistent

Improving your piano skills takes time and patience, so don’t get discouraged if progress initially feels slow. Stay persistent in your practice efforts and celebrate small victories along the way. You’ll gradually notice a significant improvement in your playing with dedication and consistent practice.

We understand that playing the piano is a lifelong commitment. However, playing should be as much about enjoyment as it is about learning. 

Whether you’re practicing scales, exercises, or full-length pieces, the metronome is a valuable tool for refining your skills and becoming a more confident and proficient pianist. 

Whether you need accessories to make your practice sessions better, or a new piano to make the experience more enjoyable, we’re here to help you every step of the way.

3 May 2024 Tips for Choosing the Perfect Piano to Harmonize Your Home

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Piano to Harmonize Your Home

posted by

There are two approaches to design. Some people bring things home based on need, with zero thought into how it all merges together. Others care about design from the start, ensuring every piece in their home is well thought out and perfectly placed. 

When you start a new hobby like playing the piano, it’s not a simple thing to bring into a well-designed home. Pianos can be large – think grand piano. Pianos should be the centerpoint of a room to ensure you play it often. 

Luckily, we have a few ways to help you choose the perfect piano and harmonize your home design at the same time. 

Start by choosing a piano that complements your home’s existing style and size. Opt for a sleek digital piano or a minimalist upright for a modern space. A classic grand piano can be a stunning centerpiece in a traditional setting. You’ll know it when you find it. It will feel like it fits in.  

Consider your color palette. No, not every piano is black or wood-grained. You’d be surprised at the choices you have. Select a piano finish that harmonizes with your home’s color palette. Coordinate with existing furniture or use the piano as a focal point to introduce complementary or accent colors.

If music is your thing, why not show it off? Enhance the piano’s presence in your home by accessorizing creatively. Add decorative accents like a stylish piano bench, coordinating throw pillows, or artwork that reflects your musical passion. Get creative, and have fun with it! It’ll make you more likely to spend time doing what you love. 

We find many people forget about lighting. Incorporate lighting to highlight the piano and create ambiance. Consider installing wall sconces or pendant lights above the piano to draw attention and enhance its visual impact. And don’t forget it’s essential to see what you’re doing. Highlight the piano keys and the sheet music – it gives you even more reason to sit down and play on a dreary or blustery day. 

Anchor the piano in the room by placing a rug underneath or in front of it to define the space. Coordinate with window treatments like drapes or curtains to tie the room together and create a cohesive look.

Surround the piano with wall decor that complements its presence. To add personality and charm, create a gallery wall featuring musical-themed artwork, framed sheet music, or vintage photographs of pianists.

Incorporate functional storage solutions near the piano to organize sheet music, books, and other accessories. Choose stylish shelving units, cabinets, or baskets that blend seamlessly with your decor.

Add potted plants or fresh flowers near the piano to bring life and freshness to the space. Choose planters that complement your decor and add a touch of natural beauty to the room. Note: Never place them directly on the piano, as they can stain the wood and harm its inner workings. 

Designate a cozy corner or alcove in your home as a dedicated music nook centered around the piano. Add comfortable seating, a reading lamp, and shelves for music books to create an inviting space for practicing and enjoyment.

Above all, have fun and enjoy the process. This is about creating a hobby you’ll love for life. It’s about creating enjoyment you can share with your friends and family. One you’ll enjoy for life.

How To Find A Piano Showroom Near Me

posted by

Congratulations! A piano is in your future. (I know that because you’re reading here.)

I also know you’re wondering where to start. Online makes sense – that’s how you shop for everything. Put in a phrase – how to find a piano showroom near me – and sift through the results. 

But several listings for piano showrooms won’t truly tell you what you need to know. Who can you trust? Where should you go? Now may be the time to add a little creativity to the mix, find a piano showroom that meets your needs, and get solid advice on selecting the perfect piano to suit your needs. 

How do you find a piano dealer you can trust?

  • Search online – it’s the easiest way to get to the heart of information. If someone has been in business for a bit, they’ll be there. (Like we are right here!)
  • Use Google Maps – search for “piano showroom,” and it will give you the results for everyone in your area. 
  • Social media – see who your friends, family, and followers recommend. They often have valuable suggestions. 
  • Music schools and colleges – because they invest in pianos regularly, they might have insight into who they’ve purchased from and who they trust. 
  • Local magazines – when they talk about what’s happening around town, they often provide trustworthy resources too. 
  • Music teachers – if they’re teaching in the community, they’ve built up a handful of resources they can trust. And they’re happy to give you a few suggestions. 
  • Word of mouth – still one of the best ways to find new resources. If people are happy with their experiences, they’re equally excited to share. 
  • Churches – they often need several pianos for weekly events. Who have they trusted in the past? 
  • Local Chamber of Commerce – getting to know the community is their job. They can provide recommendations because of past experience. 
  • Hotel lobbies or fine dining establishments – when you start to look around, you’ll find quality pianos everywhere. Who do they trust?

Have your sights on a new piano? Wondering what piano showroom to trust? It shouldn’t take more than a bit of research. 

Reputable piano showrooms care about their businesses, and people will talk about them because they’re happy to share.  

Isn’t that who you want to do business with?

24 April 2024 10 Tips For Finding The Best Pianos For Beginners

10 Tips For Finding The Best Pianos For Beginners

posted by

Buying your first piano can be a little nerve-wracking. You want quality and affordability. And let’s face it, you don’t know what you don’t know. What makes a piano “the best?”

What if there was a series of tips you could follow to help you find the best pianos for beginners? What would it include? How could it help you? 

After decades in the business, we thought we’d put together a few tips to help you navigate this new frontier. Finding the best piano to start your new venture doesn’t have to be complicated. Just keep a few things in mind. 

Budget wisely. Even just a few minutes of researching pianos will tell you they range from free to tens of thousands of dollars. There must be a difference, right? There is. If someone is giving away a piano for free, there’s a reason for it. Most likely, it sat neglected in a corner for years, gathering dust and losing quality. Do you really want someone else’s problems? Have a budget in mind when you shop, and adjust it as you see what’s available. Better quality means better playability. 

Consider space. Pianos come in all shapes and sizes, from small, portable digital pianos to the largest concert grand pianos. What’s right for you? The best pianos for beginners should be determined by what’s best for you to suit your needs. You’re more likely to play if you get one suitable for your situation.  

Touch and feel. Yes, every piano feels different to the touch. As a beginner, you might not understand what that means, but you can quickly find out by visiting a piano dealer and having them show you a few pianos. You can hear it in the sound and feel it in the touch. 

Digital vs acoustic. Nostalgia says an old-fashioned acoustic piano will give you the basis for playing the piano. But it’s more than that. The reason acoustic pianos are so versatile is because of the skills they give you. Of course, sometimes it makes sense to add digital capabilities. Do you want to share your songs with the world? Digital can make it possible. 

Weighted keys. We bring this up because beginners often fall into the trap of buying an electric keyboard without thinking about the consequences. Piano keys are weighted to spring into action as you play. It’s a feeling that helps you get better over time. Keyboards often don’t come with that, which makes it more challenging to transition to acoustic pianos when the time is right. Invest in the right piano from the start to build your skills over time. 

Pedals. Yes, pedals do impact your playing style. You might not use them in your first few months, but having them available can transform the way you play. Don’t avoid them because you don’t have them; ensure you have the tools for the job.

Sound quality. Every piano you try will sound different. Keep in mind it will have different tonal qualities depending on the room you choose to place it in. This keeps you motivated to play – pay attention to what sounds good to you. 

Built-in features. Are you looking for something specific? Want to be able to play while wearing headphones? Looking for a way to record? Consider your possibilities before you finalize your selection. 

Brand reputation. Some brands have stood the test of time because of their craftsmanship and reliability. Don’t lose sight of quality if you’re in this for years of enjoyment. That’s where we can help you understand the differences between brands and learn what’s important to you.  

Recommendations and reviews. This is a big purchase. Spend some time getting to know more about the piano you’re considering. You can read reviews and recommendations on the manufacturer’s site, or get to know the piano dealer you’ll be working with to complete the sale. The more you learn, the more comfortable you’ll be with your final choice.

21 April 2024 Finding Your Piano Through Random Discovery

Finding Your Piano Through Random Discovery

posted by

Have you ever thought about the serendipitous moments in your life? The ones you discover purely through random discovery? 

They often occur by chance, without deliberate intention or prior knowledge. 

In science, researchers sometimes stumble upon groundbreaking discoveries while investigating unrelated phenomena or conducting experiments. These chance findings can lead to new insights, innovations, or even paradigm shifts in their respective fields.

In exploration and adventure, random discoveries can occur when explorers stumble upon hidden treasures, ancient artifacts, or uncharted territories while journeying into unknown regions.

In creative pursuits, artists, writers, and musicians often experience random discoveries when they stumble upon unexpected ideas, inspiration, or creative solutions while experimenting with their craft.

And in everyday life, random discoveries can occur during casual encounters, chance conversations, or spontaneous moments of curiosity. These unexpected discoveries can enrich our lives, broaden our perspectives, and spark new interests or passions.

What’s this got to do with finding your piano? 

Maybe it isn’t about taking the first piano you find, but instead using random discovery to find the perfect piano for you. 

If you’re new, you may assume a piano is a piano. Not true! Every piano created is unique, with its own touch and feel. Touch the keys. Play music. Listen to its voice. 

Each is unique. Some will resonate with you more than others. 

That’s the gift you give yourself when you take the time to find the right piano for your musical journey. Ask yourself a few questions.

  • What are my musical goals?
  • What style(s) of music do I want to play? 
  • Am I interested in performing or collaborating with others?
  • What level of piano playing do I aspire to achieve? 
  • Am I open to exploring different musical experiences and styles?

Then sit down and play. Does it feel right? Does it sound right? 

Is this the piano you can see yourself playing for many years to come?

10 April 2024 The Art of Intuition: Trusting Your Gut to Find the Right Piano

The Art of Intuition: Trusting Your Gut to Find the Right Piano

posted by

What does it take to find the right piano? You might be surprised to learn that this is a difficult process for many piano shoppers. 

They do a little research and find out the cost – pianos can be expensive! So they do a little more research, trying to find the best “deals.” 

But here’s the thing: when you shop by cost, you usually know in your gut you aren’t getting the best “deal.” You put aside all your goals, wishes, and desires, and focus on price alone. 

Trusting your gut is a mix of art and science – something many of us aren’t comfortable with. Yet it can lead you to make the best decisions possible. Here’s why. 

Trusting your gut means pulling from experience to dig deep for a decision

Imagine yourself stepping into a dimly lit room filled with pianos of all shapes and sizes. Each instrument holds within it unlimited potential, waiting to be unlocked by the right hands. Light hits one keyboard at a time, calling you to play. As you run your fingers along the keys, memories come flooding back—moments spent lost in the music, emotions stirred by the sound of a perfectly tuned chord. 

You recall the thrill of discovering the rich, warm tones of a grand piano during a childhood recital or the crisp, clear notes of a digital keyboard in a bustling music store. Never played before? You still recall your favorite music, picking out melodies with your fingers, or air-drumming the rhythm as you sway to the music. Each encounter impacts your musical journey, shapes your preferences, and sensitizes your senses to the subtle nuances of sound and touch.

Now is the time to draw upon this reservoir of experience. It’s not just about finding a piano that meets a checklist of criteria; it’s about finding one that speaks to your heart, evoking a visceral response that defies explanation. And when you finally encounter that instrument—the one that sends shivers down your spine and ignites a fire in your soul—you know, without a shadow of a doubt, that you’ve found the right piano.

Mixing creativity and intuition helps you discover new things about yourself and the environment around you

As you embark on your quest, armed with nothing but curiosity and an open mind, you find yourself drawn to pianos that defy convention and challenge your preconceived notions. You experiment with different styles, from sleek, modern designs to ornately crafted vintage models, each offering a unique perspective on the art of music-making.

Then you stumble upon a hidden gem—a piano unlike any you’ve ever seen before. Its ebony finish gleams in the soft light, adorned with intricate carvings that seem to dance across the surface. Intrigued, you sit down at the bench and let your fingers roam across the keys, unleashing a cascade of sound that fills the room with warmth and color.

As you lose yourself in the music, you realize this piano isn’t just an instrument—it’s a reflection of your own creativity, a mirror that reveals new depths of your artistic soul. With each note, you discover facets of yourself that were previously hidden, unlocking a reservoir of untapped potential waiting to be unleashed.

Focus allows you to play intuition and hardcore data together to finalize every decision

Armed with a wealth of experiences and newfound insights, you find yourself faced with a final task—choosing the perfect piano from a sea of contenders. It’s a decision that demands both intuition and pragmatism, a delicate balancing act between heart and mind.

You immerse yourself in the world of piano specs and technical jargon, poring over spec sheets and scrutinizing every detail with the keen eye of a seasoned musician. You consult with experts and gather feedback from fellow pianists, weighing their opinions against your own intuition.

And yet, amidst the sea of data and analysis, you never lose sight of the guiding light that has led you this far—your intuition. You listen to that still, small voice whispering in the depths of your soul, guiding you towards the piano that feels right, not just on paper, but in your heart.

In the end, as you sit down on the bench of your chosen instrument, you know that you’ve made the right decision. It’s not just a piano—it’s a partner in your musical journey, a companion that will accompany you through the highs and lows, the triumphs and challenges, always reminding you to trust in the power of intuition.

Have you found this perfect piano? A friend that will be with you for years to come? 

If not, stop by today. With decades of experience, we can guide you on your journey, and allow your intuition to call out to the perfect piano for your musical journey.

7 April 2024 Want a New Summer Routine? New and Used Pianos for Your Musical Journey

Want a New Summer Routine? New and Used Pianos for Your Musical Journey

posted by

Ah, the wonderful days of summer. Time to relax by the pool, read a book under a tree, or sip lemonade out on the back patio.

What’s that? You don’t spend much time outside in the heart of summer? Too hot and humid? 

Maybe it’s time to start new routines. 

With lazy days the new norm, you can start up a hobby, one you’ve been dreaming of for a while. That means investing in a new or used piano, and finding the time to make beautiful music. 

You’ll find playing the piano brings you:

Creativity and Expression

Learning to play the piano allows you to express yourself creatively through music. Find the joy in playing classical pieces. Hum along as you play jazz tunes. Or maybe it’s time to take your musicality to a new level and start composing your own melodies. No matter what you fancy, the piano provides a versatile platform for artistic expression.

Mental Stimulation

Learning to play an instrument like the piano stimulates your brain in various ways. You know how a ton of apps claim they can help with brain function? Do you really need more time with that small handheld device? Why not try the piano instead? It improves cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. Engaging with music also activates multiple areas of the brain simultaneously, providing a comprehensive mental workout.

Stress Relief

Ever come home from a stressful day at work, fall into a chair, and just can’t feel the stress pull away? Maybe a new activity can cure that. Playing the piano can be a therapeutic activity that helps reduce stress and anxiety. The focus required to learn and play music can distract you from everyday worries, providing a much-needed mental break.

Personal Growth

If you’re reading this, music pulls you in and captivates you. You’ve contemplated adding a new or used piano to your home for some time. Consider this to be your calling for self-awareness and personal growth. Mastering a new skill, like playing the piano, fosters a sense of accomplishment and boosts self-confidence. As you progress in your piano journey, you’ll experience tangible improvements in your abilities, which can be incredibly gratifying. Come on; you know you want to.

Social Connection

Ever had the kids tell you they play video games to connect with other people? That may be true, but whatever happened to good old-fashioned connection when you’re in the same room? Learning to play the piano can also be a social activity. You can join group classes, participate in ensemble performances, or simply share your progress with friends and family. Music has a unique ability to bring people together, and playing the piano can create meaningful connections with others who share your passion.

Lifelong Learning

Football, basketball, soccer. Sure, you enjoyed them when you were younger, but do you see yourself playing them at 50, 70, or 100 years old? We all deserve to have something in our lives that will carry us through every age. Learning to play the piano is a journey that never really ends. There’s always something new to learn, whether it’s mastering a challenging piece, exploring different musical genres, or delving into music theory. By taking up piano as a summer hobby, you’re embarking on a fulfilling lifelong learning experience.

So, come on! You’re trying to figure out what to do this summer when it’s too hot to sit outside, and the television bores you to tears. Why not invest in a new or used piano today, and start the process of learning something new? You can pour your heart into your music, and take it wherever you choose.

It all starts by saying yes – is a new or used piano in your future?
