The key to selecting your perfect piano

There are plenty of articles and authorities online discussing the practical tips for piano buying and selecting your perfect piano.  Recommendations begin with some of the important key considerations such as space requirements and where will you place your piano. What can you afford to spend?  Upright vs. grand piano? New piano vs. pre-owned? 

At Modern Piano, we can assist you in determining your initial practical needs, as well as discussing warranties, piano specs, financing, and what kind of piano suits your purpose.

But the most important decision in selecting your piano is finding the piano that you connect with. The one that moves you! The one that inspires you the most! This is where the selection process narrows to finding the perfect sound, tone, and touch that brings you joy and inspiration when you play. The one that brings your imagination into reality!

Just like when you are listening to your favorite pianist or favorite piano piece, what you are enjoying is the artist’s expression and interpretation of the piece they are playing. Ultimately – you are responding to how the artist brings the piece to life, and what you feel when listening to the piece. And like every pianist, every piano has a personality.  But the artist makes the piece, not the instrument.  Because of that, we suggest that you apply the same approach in selecting your piano.  Play many pianos, listen closely to the tone, and how it feels to the touch. Notice which one you connect with the most.

In the current piano industry, all of the top piano brands are worthy of equal consideration. Whether you’re looking at Kawai, Petrof, Yamaha, or Steinway, keep in mind that each brand and piano has a different sound and touch. All of these instrument brands are available at Modern Piano. Trust your ear, trust what you feel, and believe in the one that moves you the most. Take your time to find the piano that inspires you to create and stretches your imagination to make beautiful music.  After all, YOU are the artist that will bring the instrument to life.
