Buying a Used Piano

Before automatically rejecting the idea of buying anything that is not new, there are advantages to buying used Yamaha pianos in NJ.

Cost - The most immediate and measurable advantage when opting for a used piano is the lower tag price. Because they have already been in someone else’s possession, their financial value is diminished and a buyer can save up to thousands of dollars depending on the piano model and brand. This is a great motivator and does not necessarily indicate lesser quality. Quality - Although someone else may have owned this piano in the past, buying from a retail dealer guarantees quality that is on par with that of new pianos. These businesses are experts on this fascinating instrument and have devoted their lives to playing, repairing, and

understanding the piano. You may not know what to inspect when evaluating used Yamaha pianos in NJ, but these trained professionals do.

Breaking in the Keys - If this is your first endeavor with a piano, you may not be familiar with the process of breaking in the keys. Most newly manufactured pianos have stiffer keyboards, which require patience at first. To draw an example, baseball gloves are in similar condition when new. After significant use, the keys are looser and easier to play (especially for beginners). If you happen to be buying a used Yamaha piano in NJ, that work is already done for you.

Good luck to those of you giving piano a shot for the first time.
