Buy a piano (Yamaha, Kawai, Toyama)

mimame

my daughter starts her first piano lesson today and she enjoys it very very much.

I will wait and see after 2 months whether she still likes to learn piano, then I will buy a piano.

I am totally not familiar with piano. I see Yamaha in Tom Lee and Kawai and Toyama in Parsons.

How would you rank these 3 brands in general?

THANKS

我見bk 都有時有人放二手琴出黎(自讓)
或者叫琴老師問下有無學生會換琴(我都係用呢個方法)
琴行, 我同琴老師去看過, 佢話可能係佢要求高, 佢話甘既價錢, 吾需要買個甘既價錢 既琴

My kid only started attending piano claseses for a few times. What's your recommended model for 2nd hand piano less than 10K?   Should I buy it from 2nd hand piano company?

1. 初學者特別係上左幾堂, 建議買2手既普通幾k鋼琴就可以, 因為小朋友初學(未知佢係咪3分鐘熱度之前)並未去到要著重音色(小朋友根本唔識分, perfect pitch例外), 直到考左試(gr.2/3左右)可以買部yamaha U3或者Kawai  ...

請問現在日元的匯價咁高, 相對歐洲琴會否值些 ?小朋友初學又是否適合 ?

歐州琴都吾平
有人話, 香港天氣吾多適合用歐州琴(難打理), 但我自己都係買左歐州琴, 暫時吾覺我有乜野特別難打理
我都係得閒, 開下抽濕機, 順便抽下衫i(落雨天)
琴箱今邊放d 臭丸同抽濕大笨象...............

hi iamheihei

yamah LU, YE系列都係大陸/東南亞裝0既琴,個人對呢d系列感覺都係麻麻,因為聲音比較響/薄,手感都比較輕...而且好多時用得個三兩年d聲就會好拆咁...

kawai BU-1A??我未試過,答你唔到喎??二手架??

U1 and U3已經係個model 黎架啦...不過宜家仲有YUS1 and YUS3...係新系列,價錢比同級U系貴萬零蚊啦..

Ming2,

I need your advise.  Would you give me some idea?  
- Yamaha LU-90 ($11,000)
- Yamaha LU-100 ($12,500)
- Yamaha YE-116 ($15000)
- Kawai BU-1A (Forgot $$)

1) Which one is good for a beginning?  
2) Is it a must to change another one after few years?

初學, 吾好買甘貴既琴
你留意下, 看下有無二手(用家自讓)的普通幾k 野既琴, 比個女學住先啦

我未換琴前, 都係朋友讓比我, 成20幾年的kawai, 到我個女依家grade 5, 佢自己都有要求, 我先換, 雖然都係2手, 但就換左部得幾年貨仔的歐州琴law

我以用家的家長心態同你講, 你就算依家買部yamaha 的一手大陸/印尼做既琴比個女都好, 到時個女再學上去, 有返甘上下grading, 佢自己對部琴的音色+手感都有要求, 正如charlotte_mom 所講, nikon 同canon 既分別

我自己試過u1, u3, k5, 我自己就鍾意u3 既手感, k5, both 我個女同我都覺得超吾掂

但最後呀女係另類一族, canon 同nikon 都吾鍾意,揀左隻係香港無乜試場的歐州琴

如果係我, 為左第時呀女換琴時(對琴有要求時想換)的second hand market 而想, 就一定吾會買雜牌+大陸做既琴, 因為真係難re-sell

我部朋友賣比我既second hand 20幾年的kawai, 我最後都可以re-sell 返比我朋友, 佢個女初學

2. 如果小朋友擁有perfect pitch同時一開始就好有心學, 不妨買部靚d。

3. 依家既直身琴要真正made in japan? 我相信好難有。

我係以一個鋼琴老師同時亦以家長心態分享下意見。

個人意見(作為一個普通家長)
唔好規限自己一定要俾得貴貴去堅持買個日本做既琴, 按budget啦, 邊個唔知一手日本琴好wor, 不過真係好大投資
你女女只係學左2個月, 唔算好長時間, meanwhile你可以租返屋企彈住先, 睇定d再買部貴野(我係女女準備考2級時正式換琴的, 之前果部係老爺級英雄牌), or而家睇budget買部岩心水又有市場價值的, 一部鋼琴如果保養得好, 20年, 30年琴齡一樣有人買, 好多家長都會考慮買部平平地既俾初學小朋友架!

I went to Tom Lee and Parsons today. Wow, the made in Japan ones are really expensive.

Yamaha U1 $49K
Kawai K3 $32K
Kawai K5 $39K

Is Kawai K series really made in Japan (as I never trust P's sales)? ...

Radiomama

I'm thinking of Yamaha U1 too!  Any pros and cons??

clarise_lau

i m a piano teacher, n i got a second hand KAWAI K8 , around $40k

but for beginner, kawai k5 is enough for learning to grade 8.
i love kawai rather than yamaha, it is better of practice fingering. the touching of yamaha are more lightly than kawai (as my opinion). But actually, yamaha sound is attractive

u can consider kawai k5 or yamaha u3

For Yamaha, there are 2 other series which are made in China and Indonesia, and the prices are around 20-27K. Are they reliable?

Pls comment


THANKS

mimame

hi,

can u tell me the full model number for the Yamaha U1 and U3 so that I can take a look tomorrow at Tom Lee?


THANKS

Charlotte_mom

我買部靚d都係唸住將來可以再賣 (我唸u3應該有返咁上下市場掛)

budget 20K,買新琴yamaha or kawai就只可買到東南亞/大陸裝架咋....要日本裝就一定超過三萬蚊架啦...
