Many factors go into buying a piano. Make sure to reflect on your personal reasons for buying the instrument. If you need a few more reasons to make the dive, keep reading to learn more about the benefits of buying a piano.

Quality of Sound Creates a Motivation to Play

It is important to make sure you have a solid plan to learn and regularly play the piano before buying it. Many people have the desire to know how to play the piano or to have their kids play it, but finding people dedicated to putting in the work is a different story. Becoming proficient at the piano takes time, dedication, and, yes, money. A real piano has elements that help new learners get a feel for the music in a way that keyboards or cheap pianos can’t match. Having a well-crafted, quality piano will make the notes a pleasure to produce. Hearing such sounds will motivate you to continue playing and developing your art.

Learning with a Stable Instrument

A new learner requires stability from which to start their practice. The more consistent their practice schedule, the more likely they will be to practice. Similarly, the higher the quality of the music they produce, the more likely they will be to play. Having a top-quality instrument that a professional has tuned to perfection encourages hesitant learners to get back into it. Mid-range pianos should hold enough quality to get through five years or so of beginning playing.

Warranties: Manufacturer & Retailer

Many pianos will come with a manufacturer’s warranty that will last anywhere from two years to providing a “lifetime” guarantee. Sometimes, a store will offer additional warranties that cover tune-up or moving damage. In either case, make sure to read the fine print to ensure you can take advantage of the entire opportunity.

Turn to the Professionals

Don’t go into buying a piano blind. Instead, get the best advice from people who know what they are talking about based on years of experience. Start with your teacher. Your piano teacher will have all sorts of experience playing all sorts of different pianos. They will have insights into the type and further benefits of getting a new piano. They may also know where the best deals are. Aside from your teacher, check-in with experienced piano sellers to find the best piano for you. At each location of Evola music, you will find piano aficionados who value the craft, creation, and playing of pianos. They can help recommend the right instrument for you.

Listen to Mozart played on Mozart’s VERY OWN piano

By Amy MacKenzie

Please watch this amazing video of pianist Robert Levin playing Mozart's piano sonatas on Mozart's ACTUAL PIANO. Last year, pianist and musicologist Robert Levin was announced as the first Hogwood Fellow of the Academy of Ancient Music. So, we filmed him playing on Mozart's very own instrument.

This is the piano. Isn't it beautiful?

The fortepiano, from around 1782, was used by Mozart for both composition and performance from 1785 until his death in 1791. The piano was originally made by Anton Walter, one of the most famous Viennese piano makers of Mozart's time. It is two octaves shorter than a modern piano, and is much lighter and smaller than modern pianos, weighing only 85kg. It's also much smaller than a modern piano, at just 2.23m long. It can currently be found in Salzburg, where Robert Levin is using it to record Mozart's piano sonatas. “The voyage and discovery of playing on period instruments is to move in a world – physical, emotional and aesthetic – that is inhabited by the geniuses that wrote this music. It brings us very, very close to them,” said Levin. “So sitting down at Mozart’s piano, sitting down at an organ which Bach played himself, you understand things about the weight of the keys going down and the repetition and the balance in sound. “And all of these things bring you very, very close to the music and make you say 'A-ha, that’s why it’s written that way', which is not the kind of thing you’re going to get if you’re playing on the standard instruments that are being manufactured today.”
