Good morning everyone!
Near my house in Florence, in a large shop of which I have been a customer for years, I found these two pianos. The price proposed by the shopkeeper, who is also a famous tuner, is [missing value] with the trade-in of my Diapason 170, which he valued at 3500 euros
I would like advice on the choice between these two pianos:
a Kawai RX-3 from 2002 (no Millenium III) practically new, used very little, with a good timbre for 15000 euros
a Yamaha C5 serial number 39....I think from 1984 with dampers, replaced strings and a new hammer rail for 12500 euros
Both instruments are therefore available for me to try. But I am very undecided! Kawai Rx3 practically new or Yamaha C5 used, which had the action and the old hammer rail that I could see was very yellowed?
Assuming they feel the same after testing them, what would you do in my place?
