Get the dealer to send their top man at their expense prepp and tune give it 6 months if still not happy swap it over or ask for full refund posh name pity about the quality dont stock threm and i have my reasons to be discussed in another topic for the future.

To my knowledge all new Bechstein are now being manufactured by BECHSTEIN-SAMICK ALLIANCE in Indonesia as Mr Karl Schulze is the owner of both companies,previous to that Petrof where building them a Petrof 126 and a Bechstein Concert 8 where almost identical pianos apart from the casework and the pr...

Go back to dealer and get them to send a Bechstein tek to tune and prep piano and see how it settles,then if still not sastified ask them to change it over,had a client who bought a C.Bechstein Model 8 hailed as "THEWORLDS FINEST UPRIGHT PIANO",after 1 year the frame was peeling,hinges whe...

Pay your train fare if you got the time superb little joanna for the money,free delivery etc or if too far to travel can bring the instrument to your home to try?.The art of selling is to please the customer where every they may live,everybody wants black pianos its the modern way.

Black shiny pianos sell,the trick is to match the colour,quality and price,at a budget the customer can afford.Sticky notes comes with the territory but fully prepped before dispatch and selling the right quality at the proper price never a problem.Discounted Yamaha only part of piano trade widen yo...

The budget is sufficient to get a decent piano new in the colour you want new Geogre Steck 109 model in that price bracket,better to buy new than taking a chance on a used piano,if looking for genuine, impartial advice give Peter Smith & Sons a ring on 0141 887 6160 they offer 5 year warranties ...

Morrison pianos? I've only ever seen them in the Sound Control music stores about 15 years ago, they are definitely Chinese and these were new, would be surprised if it's as old as you suggest.

New Gbr Steinberg model 123 black £2,199 decent value at the price,not cheap but i think they buy direct.

Piano guy is spot on Pleyel and Rameu where made in Schimmel factory but i know a dealer you had them and sent them back due to tuning problems and and shearing of wrestpins when being tuned and also had two wrestpins snap when being tuned by a top concert technician,you are paying for the fancy cas...

To my knowledge they are quite expensive,and not made in France as the name suggests,heards reports few years ago that there where problems with the tuning stability,a Renner actions is not the most important part of piano its the frame,bridges,strings etc and is a combination of all these component...

Halle & Voight and Reid-Sohn would agree with "piano guy" comments i know a dealer whose has a Gbhr Steinberg 123 model in black new at £2,199 inc vat,could be a delivery charge dependant on location and ease of access,also a new Reid-Sohn 112RI for no far of your budget of £1900 and a...
