buying a piano

Tipperarymike · 2006-07-01 22:11:23

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone can give me some guidance on buying a piano. I want to buy one for my wife for her 30th in September. Thing is I havent a clue about even the smallest things regarding music. She hasnt played the piano in years so it will be a shock to her to receive this. I dont have a budget in mind…

If you're buying a refurb'd of any description, a good trick to keep it going in the years to come is leave a small tray of water underneath it (dead centre behind the sustain pedal). I'm not sure of the exact science behind it, but if the piano is near a window or a radiator it's recommended to help it keep in tune and stop warping in the panels AFAIK.
