Well after weeks of pondering ive just bought an upright piano from our local music shop, altho i read on the internet that it is a good make can anyone on here advice me?
Its a Brand new 'Palatino' in like a creamy off white colour, it a gorgeous piano, the Bass, mid range and Treble are amazingly good for the price of the piano and the cabinet is quite detailed. Have i got myself a good piano here ?

Thanks
Chris

Thanks Barrie,

I have read up on the net about these pianos and they have very good reports, they have an amazing sound and at &1500 brand new in White (off-white) i thought i couldnt go wrong.

Hi,

I think that what matters is that YOU like the piano, and YOU are happy with the deal you've got.

Frankly, it doesn't really matter what anybody else thinks, they aren't going to play your piano. That is the problem with buying any item (car, piano, hifi, refrigerator, whatever) on the basis of product reviews - at the end of the day, the opinion that really matters is yours, trust your judgement. By all means look to reviews and articles for advice and setting a shortlist, but then it is down to you. If you like such-and-such a piano, and enjoy playing it, but Fred from www.pianoratingsR-US.com thinks they are little better than firewood, does that really matter?

I don't know this brand myself, but if you've found a piano you like, at a price you think is fair, then be happy! Don't get hung up about what other people's opinion might be. If these pianos are getting good reports as good value for money, then great, but if you should happen to find somebody who doesn't like them, don't allow that negative view to spoil your enjoyment of your piano.

cheers,

Steve
