It is easy to be intimidated by a piano, which can appear timeless. You see, a piano comes with 88 black keys. Also, if you accidentally play them together it can produce a horrendous sound. What should you look for when you buy a brand new piano?
It is true that large pianos produce a more pleasing tone. Thanks to modern technology, however, this rule has become less important. The purchase of a piano represents a significant investment. A well-maintained piano 10 years old costs almost the same amount as a newly purchased piano. The piano is a very durable instrument, and will last for many years. An instrument with great tone is better for learning. If you are looking for a new piano or a used piano, please visit Hilton Piano Center for more information.
What’s the Soundboard Like? The piano’s soundboard produces the same sounds as the hammers that hit the piano keys. The piano’s soundboard, located in the back, is what you will hear. Straight grains, which are finer than usual and that run along its length will make a soundboard good. Also, the soundboard’s ribs need to run all the way from one side of the board.
The Pedals. While many pianos offer three pedals for you to choose from, if it’s your first time playing you will most likely be only using one – usually the sustain. The most popular pedal, it is used to maintain the pitch of a song after the key has been pressed. All parts of the pedal should be constructed well to allow it to endure tens and thousands of foot-presses. A mute pedal can be used on notes to make them sound less powerful. Third petal also acts as a sustain for bass tones. These pedals need to be in the middle position. They also should be easy to access with your feet. And good pianos have options for those that can’t reach these pedals.
If you are considering a new piano as an investment you should look into its warranty. This warranty will cover you for at minimum five years. Some warranties may even extend to ten. These warranties usually do not include issues related to the action or tuning.
