After much research, travelling and trying different pianos, I've finally bought a K6. I really liked the tone, and the action. My daughter also really liked the piano, but felt the bass wasn't as crisp as on the K5 we tried in a different shop. I thought the sound was more influenced by the showroo...

That's a fair point. I need to persuade my wife the TV needs a smaller room! The existing music room is 13.5x11 foot, but planning to move house in 1-2y, when a bigger music room is high on the list of essentials. Also playing loud is probably more difficult for me and my daughter due to a genetic n...

I've just found a dealer with a new K6 on offer £1100 cheaper than the K5 list price, so I'm going to try it tomorrow. If we like it as much as the K5 we'll definitely buy it.

I realise there should be some negotiating on these prices. What do you think of this short list, and what would be a fair ...
