Hello everyone,

I have been playing the piano for several years, and unfortunately I have never had the opportunity (due to various moves for my father's work) to move from a digital, non-weighted keyboard to an actual piano. I went to visit a piano shop, whose owner proposed several upright pianos to me. Two in particular could be the candidate pianos: a new Ronisch 118 and a used Weinbach.

Since I don't trust the seller very much, however honest he may be, I needed your opinion on the matter. The price difference is stark...

Naturally, it is difficult to evaluate from a distance. Perhaps I would prefer the Weinbach. As for the Ronisch, if I remember correctly... action on the left... not very responsive and poor materials. In any case, rely on your "faithful" technician or the one who will become it, and ask him to inspect the two instruments.
