We are looking to purchase a piano for our children aged 11 and 13 on a relatively low budget (#1000-1500). We have found a 20 year old Fuchs and Mohr and a brand new Hamlyn Klein both priced at approx #1500. Please can someone help with the pros and cons of this choice.

Many thanks.

Not heard of the Hamlyn Klein as to the Fuchs & Mohr only have a few of them on my round all c70’s your typical old East German piano spongy action and poor top treble the other pet hate with them is they have gliders not castors so the piano rocks on carpet .

I would say that the 1500 is a bit pricey side for a Fuchs & Mohr If it is a private sale 800 - 1000 would be more the mark
