i tink a gd kawai piano can get for abt 12k? tis kind of ting cannot save wan... is u buy lousie good den after 7-8 yrs u fine tat e music u produce is limited by the instrument so haiz~ bang head n die gg Idea

Seriously, a good piano will last you a lifetime. Provided you tune and service regularly twice a year. Currently for upright piano's the kawai brand is the best on the market in terms of quality, technology, and price. Technically a grand piano will always be better than an upright...price costs alot more too. Think about 20-30k. But if you live in an apartment a grand piano is gonna disturb ur neighbours for sure so erm you don't want that.

Anyway 12k isn't much if you're gonna use it for the next 40 years. That's $25 a mth without accounting for inflation.

Things to look out for:

Soundboard Design - check the number of backposts, ensure it is made of good quality quarter-sawn spruce.

Hammer Mouldings - should be mahogany

Duplex Scale - does it come with this?

Agraffes - does it comes with this?

Tone release system - what kind of technology are they using?

Piano Action - again what kind of technology? does the touch feel right? is it responsive? can it play the most demanding pieces? visual kei and most j-rock are quite demanding

btw if you are buying second-hand which i strongly don't recommend, the serial number will tell you the year in which the piano is made. some sellers are dishonest and may tell you the wrong date to fetch a better price. good luck.

"You can get pianos at any price even at a few hundred bucks, its the quality that is being compensated in the end. You can try ard peace centre or paradiz centre. There are second hand instrument dealers. Or there is one at bukit timah plaza, a little more ex and the piano is in a better condition."

Cool, Tell me where i can get a piano at EVEN A FEW HUNDRED BUCKS. Heck, I can even give you money to tell me where. Ha ha ha, very funny a few hundred bucks.

From what i heard, there was once an japanese type tuner; There are some types of tuning, European or japanese as far as i know of.

He owns a shop and he told me that the average price for a good second hand would definitely cause you more than at least 3k.

And of course, 3-4 years of learning wouldn't need you to buy a Piano. Piano is like a life time investments, And did you know that new pianos are actually softer than 2nd hand pianos? Thats because 2nd hand pianos are seasoned, and if its well maintained it can be an antique.

If its 3-4 years of learning, i recommend you an electronic piano. Yamaha p-120 would be a very good choice.
