Stringent posted:i know a bit about piano shopping, where are you and what's a rough budget? I'm in Austin, TX. I'm looking for an upright and I don't really want to spend much more than 20 grand. I haven't really gone out shopping yet though.

Stringent posted:so 3 grand is the most you should spend for an upright, if you have a 20 grand budget is a baby or full grand possible with your space? you must be talking about the used market, I don't think 3 grand will get you even a Yamaha u1 new. I think a grand would be kind of cramped given the space I have.

Stringent posted:check, i'll have a look tomorrow. how picky is the player? I'm going to be fairly picky about the tone that I'm looking for. But like I said I really need to get out and look at showrooms. My parents have an old steinway 1098 I might be able to get, but it sounds kind of harsh and it needs to have some keys tops re-glued and probably regulation/voicing and a few tunings.

Penisface posted:if you have any of those services around that let you rent a piano for something like 20 bucks a month that includes free delivery to your place, then i would definitely go for this before i decide to really get one for keeps lol if you think I'm just calling a couple of friends to come and try to move a 600lb anything around my house. you get professionals for that

Penisface posted:there is a reason why you can get upright pianos for free if you can arrange delivery. that reason is that it costs a ton to get pro piano movers I understand that

I should probably get lessons instead of butchering music on my own like I’ve been doing for years

Woolwich Bagnet posted:i am insane and love spending money so i have one of these https://www.kawai-global.com/product/ca79/ I have a nice Yamaha hybrid piano but man, is it not the same. A family member has a Steinway grand I get to play sometime and it sounds so full and feels alive with resonance

I used to play on a 50’s era mason and hamlin upright (old enough to have ivory key tops) and I was always really impressed with the tone of it. and idk, uprights can sound nice in their own way

Woolwich Bagnet posted:oh yeah for some styles of music uprights just 'fit' where a grand in no way would ragtime sounds awesome on everything. on 100 year old poo poo uprights and even 9 foot concert grands
