Why a Steinway Grand Piano is the Only Real Choice Today

piano No Comments »

Used steinway pianos?

Terms

There are many criteria that are involved in any purchase of a piano, particularly a Steinway grand piano, and for each individual some criteria will be take priority. Below are some of the most important criteria that need to be evaluated. This article will guide you to select a Steinway Grand Piano or a used piano.

American Steinway Grand Piano

The first criteria are the size of the room that the piano is going to go into. If the room isn’t large enough for the piano plus at least three times the size of the piano for a small audience, then the piano might be too large for this room. One exception to this would be for a practice room. In this case, a grand piano is still the better choice, if possible because the action and sound of the piano is different than in an upright piano, and gives the player a much more realistic feel for when the pianist plays on most other pianos outside of that room. The Steinway grand pianos range in size from as small as 5′ 1″ to the concert grand at just short of 9 feet, so there should be no problem finding the best size piano.

- The second criteria, often overlooked, are the color and finish of the piano. Of course for concert venues, ebony black is the piano color of choice, but many pianos in homes look better with other types of woods and finishes. For the wood types other than black ebony, there is a huge range: mahogany (figured, flamed, fiddle-back and simple-grained), walnut (burled, circassion, American and French), cherry, oak, and ivory (white, cream, gold-leaf), and rosewood (Brazilian and Indonesian). The finish of these Steinway grand pianos range from satin to satin luster, glossy to high polish. The glossy finish tends to be more “showy” and therefore more appropriate for certain types of rooms. Choosing the correct finish for the room can greatly add to the décor.

The third criteria are the style of the piano you desire. Most people are used to only thinking of a traditional black ebony piano, and never stop to look at all of the variety of pianos available. Steinway pianos have a huge range of styles over the years other than traditional, including Rococo, Victorian, Louis XV, Queen Anne, and of course, many custom designs. The pianos range from the very old (around 1857) to the present day. Most of these “styled” pianos are sought after by artists as well as collectors so they are quite valuable.

Steinway pianos have a huge range of styles

The fourth criteria are the age of the piano you need. Most people do not consider the older pianos, greatly overlooking the value, savings and more importantly, the sound and feel of these older Steinway pianos. First, the new pianos are quite expensive compared to the older pianos, but more than that, many of the older pianos have a sound and action that has been restored to play and sound better than some of the newer pianos. This is because the casing of the piano has “aged” and never loses its original quality of sound. A genuine rebuilt Steinway Piano can feel and sound as good as if not better than the newest pianos being produced today, and so their value is unparalleled. Not only is one purchasing a Steinway piano that is appreciating in value, but also, an instrument that has a beautiful sound and touch.

What is the cost of used Steinway piano?

finally, the cost of the piano must be a criterion. Sometimes in the interest of saving money, some piano buyers leave the Steinway Piano behind only to purchase an instrument that is inferior in quality and name, and more importantly depreciating in value. As an investment, this does not make sense. Anyone can save money today at the price of tomorrow, but the wise person will stretch to make the soundest investment by choosing a Steinway Piano that sounds, looks, feels the best, and finally and very importantly, maintains its value over many years.

The Right Way To Move a Baby Grand Piano

piano No Comments »

Always complete a thorough and accurate inventory. It may be necessary or preferable to use a visual inventory to adequately describe and show pre-existing damage. As various parts are disassembled, please place all hardware in a properly labeled parts bag and then place the parts bag in a “Parts Box”. Remove the music rack (lyre) from its track by pulling it toward the keyboard. Wrap it in a clean furniture pad. Disconnect the lid by removing the hinge pins. Have one person wiggle the lid, holding it opposite the hinge, while a second person works the pin loose. Please be careful not to damage the wood with the pliers or with the pin itself. If necessary, cover the jaws of the pliers with a small cloth to help prevent damage to the wood. Wrap the lid in a clean furniture pad.

Remove the prop that holds the lid open and wrap it in a clean furniture pad. The prop has a hinge pin and is in two pieces. Remove the pedal assembly and wrap it in a clean furniture pad. The braces at the rear of the assembly rest in slots at each end. When removing the screws, please be careful not to drop the braces. In addition, please be especially careful with the push rods so that they will not get bent. As you face the piano, number the push rods from left to right as “1″, “2″, and “3″, by placing a piece of masking tape with the appropriate number on each rod. Note: If masking tape is unavailable, please use correctly labeled parts bags for this purpose. When reassembling at destination, please be sure to put the rods in the correct order so that the pedals will work properly. Pad the piano by placing a clean rolled furniture pad (stretch wrap the pad to prevent it from unrolling) on the cover of the keyboard to prevent it from flopping open while you handle the piano. Cover the top of the piano with two clean furniture pads, neatly folded around the keyboard. Use rubber bands to secure the pads. Note: Please ensure that the surface of the piano is dust-free before padding it. Padding a highly polished surface that is dusty may cause fine scratches, especially on a black lacquer finish. Position a piano board and attach the straps so that it is ready to receive the piano. The raised brace on the piano board should be at the keyboard end of the piano. Remove the left front leg by positioning one person underneath the piano at the left end of the keyboard. The other two people should support the left front corner. The person underneath the piano must turn the retaining block so that the long end points away from the leg. The screws, if there are any, should then be removed. The “underneath” person should then get out from under the piano before actually removing the leg. Be sure to have two people lifting the corner of the piano while the third person removes the leg. Note: Please be sure to note which legs were removed from which positions since some pianos have legs that are not interchangeable. Place the piano on the piano board by lowering the “leg-less” end onto the board. Please be sure to lift the entire piano slightly while completing this maneuver to prevent undue pressure on the remaining, attached legs as the piano tips. Lift the piano to an upright position on the board. Note: Please ensure that the soundboard is secure before lifting. Be sure that the piano is centered snugly against the brace at the end of the piano board. Note: Never leave the piano unattended. Always have at least one person holding the piano steady at all times.

Remove the two remaining legs and wrap them in clean furniture pads. These legs are held in place by a “key and slot” arrangement. To remove the leg, slide it inward toward the center of the piano until it comes out of the slot. Secure the piano to the piano board by bringing the ends of the straps together and fastening them. Place folded burlap pads over the furniture pads but under the straps to provide additional protection to the edges of the piano. To prevent the strap near the narrow end of the piano from slipping off, tie the loose ends of the two straps together.

To move the piano over a flat, level surface, tilt the piano and piano board and place a four-wheel dolly under the center of the piano board. To move the piano up or down stairs, use the piano board as a skid. After sufficiently padding the stairs for protection against residence damage, place the keyboard end of the piano toward the bottom of the stairs. Attach a hump strap to the top end of the piano board to prevent the piano from slipping.

To load the piano, leave it on the piano board and place it in a tier as the first base item with the keyboard towards the wall or the preceding tier. The best place to load the padded lid is between the piano and the preceding tier or between the piano and the wall. Now you got all the information ” How to move a Baby Grand Piano “. Ready for the challenge ? If you answer : ” Not yet ” – Than call the professional Piano movers.

What is the difference between a baby grand piano and a vertical piano?

piano 4 Comments »

Question by Squee: What is the difference between a baby grand piano and a vertical piano?
I mean besides the style. Do they sound any different? I’m thinking of buying a baldwin piano, but I don’t know if there is any more of a difference between the two pianos besides the style. I really want to learn how to play piano though, so I am. I’d like a baby grand, but most are way too expensive, If I get one, I’m gonna look for something in the 20k-25k zone.

Best answer:

Answer by Julia P
I have a vertical and a baby grand. The baby grand sounds a lot better and looks a lot better. I would suggest going all out and getting the baby grand, they are well worth the money.
