How many times have you used reviews to find a new restaurant? Or to book a hotel on your next vacation? 

We use reviews for a lot of things in our lives. Why not use reviews to find the right piano too? 

Investing in a piano is a long-term decision. Whether you’re upgrading or just starting out, the last thing you want is to have buyer’s remorse over your purchase shortly after your piano arrives in your home. 

Reviews can help you understand more about the piano you’re thinking of purchasing, ensuring you get the instrument you will play for years to come. 

As you look at the reviews, we recommend looking for these things to help you determine if a particular piano is right for you. 

Durability

It’s easy to assume that a piano will be a great addition to your home for life, that’s not always the case. Think about why you’re investing in a piano right now. Is it to start your child on piano lessons? Is it to add music into your life for years to come? Ensuring you invest in a high-quality instrument will give you peace of mind that it will be there ready to perform every time you’re prepared to sit down and make music. While tuning is a standard part of care, other repairs are not. The last thing you want is to have to decide between upgrading or renovation just a few short years after you make your purchase. 

Longevity

Pianos require different levels of maintenance and care over time. Thinking about an electric piano to start your hobby? They can quickly stop working, or go out of date. Upgrading technology means investing in an entirely new piano. Compare that with a high-quality grand piano that can be a showcase piece in your home for generations. 

Features

We’ve all seen bells and whistles on an item that look impressive in the store, only to realize you never use it, or they stop working once you get them home. To learn more about what works and what you really need, pay attention to what reviewers say about specific features, and how well they stand the test of time. 

Usage

People often leave reviews based on their lifestyles. “I love being able to take this piano anywhere.” or “It makes a great centerpiece in my living room.” Do you resonate with what the reviewer is saying? You can use this to help you make decisions when comparing different pianos. 

It can be difficult making a decision about what piano to invest in for a lifetime of enjoyment. By using reviews, you can find the perfect piano that will give you years of playing and be an asset for your family to use and enjoy.
