Good evening, I would like to share a personal consideration regarding the purchase of a used piano.
A pianist playing a quality grand piano immediately notices the difference between it and upright pianos or lower-quality grand pianos.
However, pianos from major manufacturers have costs that are not within everyone's reach.
ā¬10,000 for a used baby grand might not even be enough.
Lately, I have tried and viewed several used pianos, but the only one that struck me in terms of sound, keyboard response, and everything else perceivable was a Tallone.
The instrument has received serious maintenance; it features a Schwander action with Renner hammers, and should date back to the 65s.
In conclusion, if an instrument is mechanically in good condition, has the sound you like, and has a notable history behind it, perhaps it is better not to wait. Thank you
Tallone was a great craftsman and has left us few upright and grand pianos. I believe it is a very interesting instrument, not to be missed. One must see the state of preservation, but even if there were works to be done, it constitutes value both historically and in terms of instrument quality. Tallone was a craftsman who was very attentive to the materials used. Some grand pianos of exquisite manufacture remain. I have played some with great satisfaction. In the past, I have also identified some uprights, but rarely. He was the preferred craftsman of Michelangelo and there remains (perhaps it can be found online) an audio of the Great Master who even jokes, kindly reprimanding him. Let me know. It is important. Regards
Thank you for the consideration regarding this, it was what I wanted to hear.
Tallone is located at a shop that would also give me a five-year warranty.
The piano has always been played and has always received the necessary maintenance; the strings and pedals are in excellent condition, perhaps they have been replaced.
The only defect it has is in the painting of the harp because it was covered by a polish that caused some small wrinkles in the corners that are not very visible. Tallone's freehand signature remains intact.
Even though my journey is still long, I am of the opinion that the sooner the grand piano arrives, the better it will be.
