How much does a piano generally cost? The price of a piano ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, with professional-grade pianos costing millions. They are generally divided into teaching pianos, practice pianos, and professional performance pianos. Home practice pianos generally cost around RMB 20,000 to RMB 60,000. How to choose a cost-effective piano within this budget? Below we use 4 criteria to choose:

There are 4 criteria for a good piano:

1) Sturdy and durable: This indicator is the most difficult to judge, even for senior piano technicians Hard to grasp. Because the materials used in pianos have quality issues that are invisible to the naked eye. It cannot be reflected in a short time. Our advice is to buy name brands. Because the history of the famous brand proves its reliable quality. Famous brands also have different grades. There are famous brands for high-, medium- and low-end pianos. You can choose according to your own needs and financial ability.

2) Sound quality: Sound quality is the most important and difficult indicator of a musical instrument. Some violins sell for a few hundred yuan, while others cost millions. The main difference is the sound quality. It is difficult to judge whether sound quality is good or bad because it is too abstract. Most people have no confidence in it and are easily misled by others. In fact, everyone has different feelings about the beauty of sound quality, and it varies from person to person. Some people like soft sounds, while others like bright sounds. This seems difficult to grasp. In fact, as long as you have confidence, it is most reliable to compare yourself. If you don't know how to play the violin, you won't be able to listen to it. As long as you play the piano carefully and with the same strength one by one, you can usually hear the difference. You can find out the piano that you think sounds good during the identification. But one principle remains unchanged: a loud piano may not necessarily be a good piano, but a good piano must have a loud volume. A low volume is definitely not a good piano. Some people may say that the sound is loud and noisy, but this is purely misleading.

3) Whether it is easy to play: Good playability refers to the responsiveness of the keys and the weight of the keys. Everyone agrees on the responsiveness of the keys. Different people have different requirements for the weight of the keys. Piano teachers in my country tend to prefer heavier keys. The United States generally has lighter requirements for piano keys. If the key is too light, it will be difficult to control; if the key is too heavy, it will lead to fatigue. The key should be moderate. If you are worried that the person who helps you pick up the piano will mislead you, you might as well find a child who can play the piano to help.

4) Style: The appearance of the piano is very important and can reflect the decorative style of the piano. However, after all, it is only a decorative function and cannot be neglected or reversed. Because the piano is not furniture after all, even if it is furniture, its function is primary.
