Should I Buy a Common Brand Name or a Newer Name?


The piano industry is constantly changing with entrance of new brands or the lapse of another. That means that recommendations for purchasing a piano 20 years ago won't be as accurate as they are today.

Many piano brands have been around for a long time and are widely recognized. Baldwin, Yahama, Kawai, and Steinway are just a few examples. These brands have proven themselves and are market leaders, which create the image as being safe.

If you want a safe for sure piano brand, go with one that you see regularly and has a positive reputation. However, if you'd like to stand out from the crowd there are always up and coming piano brands. These brands often offer new features or designs that more established companies wouldn't risk taking chances on.

Many teachers will recommend brands to you that they knew perhaps ten or twenty years ago. These brands are regarded as being safe and many people use them, so the brand is seen everywhere.

However if you want to stand out from the crowd, there are many up and coming, similarly reliable piano brands on the market that provide customers with a variety of choice and unique attributes. The best suggestion is to go to a store that stocks various brands and test-drive similar sized pianos next to each other. Each piano brand will have a unique feel and possibly sound so playing them first is a great way to become comfortable with them.

Brand name is only as important as you make it out to be. Choose the piano based on its features, price, warranty, and feel before you buy one simply for a brand name.
