Is the original state of the second-hand piano very tattered?
In recent years, the domestic second-hand piano market has developed rapidly, of which the second-hand piano imported from Japan occupies a considerable proportion of the industry. We all know that under normal maintenance, the service life of the piano is basically a few decades; the service life of the second-hand piano is often not very long, but the price is much lower than the new piano, which is undoubtedly a good choice for the parents of the piano children who consume rationally.
However, with the development of the market, there are some "black heart" merchants pouring into the market. They replaced the old pianos that were close to scrapping with various core accessories with shoddy and replaced them, and then disrupted the market under the slogan of "original". This not only makes the honest piano sellers suffer, but also makes consumers suffer huge economic losses!
Is the original state of the second-hand piano very tattered? No, but be sure to polish your eyes when buying. If you decide to buy a second-hand piano, especially an imported second-hand piano, you must choose a regular platform, and the other is to carefully choose a piano in good condition to avoid spending money to buy guilt.
So, how do you choose a second-hand instrument that is in good shape?
Many friends who have the need to buy a piano are new to the piano, and many overly professional points are in the clouds. Today I will tell you about the key points of the popular version of the piano selection.
First, choose a regular brand
When buying a second-hand piano, you must buy a regular brand piano, and the domestic piano brand is mainly domestic, Japanese, Korean, European and American (mainly Ashkenazi). If they are miscellaneous pianos, their state quality is not very good when they are new, let alone second-hand.
Second, look at the internal and external colors
Open the piano lid and check whether the inside of the piano is clean and tidy, whether the hammer is full and free of stains, whether there is oxidation rust on the string shaft, and whether there are cracks in the soundboard.
Third, the keys and feel
Press the keys with your fingers to see if there is looseness, the quality of the second-hand piano is easy to play, there is a kind of "rebound force", and the key has a significant difference in volume when playing and flicking.
Fourth, listen to the timbre and sound quality
A qualified piano should have these tonal characteristics: pure treble and non-harsh, broad and grand middle notes, and thick bass without turbidity. Specific judgment methods can refer to:
1. Listen to its piano pronunciation is not long. After playing the keys, do not let go of the keys, the longer the aftersound, the better.
2. Listen to whether its pronunciation is uniform. It is best not to buy a piano with a particularly loud high pitch and a short bass; in addition, a certain tone is particularly sharp and harsh, and the bass has the phenomenon of "hemp tone", which is a manifestation of inconsistent pronunciation.
3. Listen to whether its resonance is full. The sound of a good piano is round, not fried, not wooden, no noise; those with poor resonance have a dry and hard pronunciation, heavy tone, and not far away.
Fifth, choose a regular second-hand piano dealer
Larger regular second-hand violin dealers, they pay more attention to word of mouth and quality, so that the company can develop sustainably for a long time. And in addition to the better state of the piano on the regular platform, the details such as after-sales service will be much better.
Basically pay attention to the above points, zero-based novices can also choose a good piano ~ ~
