Playing a piano is a skill that many young music oriented kids aspire to once master in their 
lifestyle. Due to the unique bonding established during the training session and the quest to attaining that dreamt of perfection, I believe that any piano is just not the piano for anyone. There are specific brands and makes that will bring out the best in us by perfectly suiting our style hence bringing us closer and closer to perfection.
Since all pianos are not created equal, there are some characteristic features and functionalities that I believe one should consider before purchasing a piano. These are bound by;
– the type of music you play on it
– how often you will play it
– The outward appearance hence the contribution to the decor
The type of music you play on it
Different constructs to a piano play different roles to the sound quality they deliver. For instance, an exotic sound board made from aged hardwood will have excellent acoustics that amplified played notes to reach far into the edges of a huge hall. While this is a factor to consider for a piano for use in an opera or concerto, it might be unnecessary extra expenditure for a piece that will only be played in the living room.
In addition to determining the reach of the struck notes, I believe that designs that strengthen the type of music you play on a piano are paramount in choosing a piano that best suits you. for instance, if you will be playing tunes with snappy notes that need be quenched abruptly to attain their musical finesse, a piano with a ribbed or braced soundboard is exactly what I advise you to go for.
How often will the piano be used
Just like any other piece of art that is subjected to use, a piano is bound to deteriorate in quality as you use it. Though generally pianos are delicate constructions, the fact that the harps and the pedals will be subject to continues torture in the passion to attaining that perfect combination is something to determine when buying a piano.
Because pianos are not created equal, there will be a piano that can endure hours and hours of
continued play without the need for professional maintenance while others can’t simply take the strain. Settling for a piano robust enough for your case is one of the things that I believe are crucial in identifying a worthy piano deal.
The outward appearance hence the contribution to the decor
Pianos are more than just music instruments. Many homeowners buy pianos to complete the house décor. In cases where the piano comes as a decoration other than a musical instrument, I emphasize on its outward appearance. Going for an exotically finished piano capable of catching attention in your house will be a marvel to many.
Drawing from the fact that pianos are not created equal, I feel confident to say that there is the possibility of getting a piano that is both beautiful in the inside and on the outside. Striking a balance between these two for a piano that is bought for the sake of its appearance rather than its performance is a characteristic that to me is important in the making of a worth piano deal.
With so much to look for, it might be confusing to settle for the piano that will exactly suit you. This should however not trouble you since there always will be a design to meet your need no matter how diverse they might be. In my opinion, the search for a good piano should never be stopped on the pretext of being comfortable with a piano that was not in your dream. If possible, struggle to get that piece that you always dreamt of because it is somewhere out there.
