Advice on buying a piano

Eheh I am not an acoustic piano technician.

Acoustic... With a moderate budget you should go for uprights. Yamaha U3 is a nice piano to start with.

Nobody?

There are actually several of them, but I don't understand why they aren't responding. It seems strange to me that everyone missed this post...

I haven't intervened until now because I find the advice from those who replied before me to be very correct. Of course, I would rely on a trusted technician who will maintain your instrument in the future. With used instruments, one must see what is available. It is better to get a rather recent instrument that hasn't been "manipulated," meaning touched with inappropriate interventions. I advise you to watch my video tutorial regarding this. It might be useful to you. For new ones, some Yamaha or Kawai upright models can be good. Schimmel is a superior upright, and I would say the same for Seiler. One must see the price. I would exclude very small grand pianos. I would start from 180 cm and up. People think that the difference of 10-15 cm in length takes up much more space... but it isn't so. The footprint of the keyboard part is the same for all. However, there can be a big difference between a 170 cm and a 200 cm [piano]. And not just in sound, but also in the length of the key lever, which makes the management of the mechanics easier and more professional for the pianist. I hope I have been useful to you. Let us know
