In my opinion there is no comparison between a Schimmel and a Yamaha. Schimmel pianos are fantastic, they sound great, have a great action - and even though it is not an important factor, they look awesome (the finishing on the inside of the case is fantastic!) I generally always prefer the sound of...

Everything I have read warns me against buying second hand pianos Hi Sue, What have you been told about second hand pianos to put you off them?

The problem with the cheaper Yamaha digitals is the touch, and if you are grade 7 and your daughter is grade 3, you really need something that is going to last a bit lo...
