Advice for buying a piano?

it is a more complex discussion than you can imagine... If you want to save time and effort, start watching the videos in the videoforum section 'journey inside the piano'; there are videos on mechanics and various useful tips before a purchase. Additionally, it would be appropriate to learn how to play at least one étude and therefore have tested at least one piano before making a choice.

Thanks for the advice, but are there any pianos that might turn out to be good, naturally by testing them?

I am not up to date and I am just a pianist, but I already know that with that amount, which is again decent, you won't find much; that's why I advised you to inform yourself better. There are brands with good value for money, but nowadays decent pianos are around 5000 euros if I'm not mistaken. For uprights, try and verify brands such as: Petrof, Furstein, Feurich, Schulze and Pollmann, Seiler, Pleyel, Schimmel plus all the Japanese/Korean/Chinese ones (Samick, Young Chang, Essex, Kawai, Yamaha...) which, however, when buying used, require intuition, experience, and luck; I have more or less ordered them by price.

Thanks Andry, I will inform myself better ... ;-)

When buying a used piano, it is always better to be accompanied by someone who knows what they are doing. German used pianos are almost always good, but you must be sure that it is truly a German brand because nowadays there are many pianos with nice German names that are actually Chinese pianos. You could always ask questions on the forum when you come across a used one that interests you.

My parents went to a piano shop (I couldn't be there) and told me about a Reismann 118 upright piano .... How is it? Can you tell me something about the brand?

Also a Yamaha B1 which is 2990 on the internet and there it's 3300 ... I think yamaha is better. What do you say about the B1?

I don't know Reismann, but regarding the b1 I can tell you that a few years ago I tried the action (of a single specimen displayed in a shop by an official Yamaha dealer). To be honest, I might be bad at this, but having to decide, I would prefer playing an undertoned piano but with a responsive action; that [experience] left me with a truly negative impression (however, I can't tell you if it was a design issue—low pianos have short levers—or if it was simply out of regulation). Do me a favor: even if you don't know how to play, go look for the other brands I wrote to you about or higher pianos, being careful that with those that are too old (70 years and up) you cannot know, with your current knowledge and certainly without a technician other than the one from the shop, if they are structurally sound.

Ok Thanks for the help
