Sometimes, you can locate a used piano that has been well-maintained and still has a lot of life in it. Genuine opportunities to buy such instruments are typically presented by respectable, knowledgeable merchants who can assess the instrument in-depth and do any necessary repairs. Check the store's credibility before doing business with them to avoid unwanted surprises. Selecting a Yamaha Piano Authorized Dealer will give you access to the expertise and experience of an actual piano expert. By purchasing from an authorized dealer, you may benefit from all of their essential services, both before and after the sale, such as the preparation of your piano and the chance to thoroughly audition the instrument and compare it to others.

 

The Piano's Golden Age

The good life of a piano, or the time it will continue to play and sound well, can range from 20 to 100 years. Only the finest handcrafted pianos, which normally have a lifespan of 50 to 65, can be expected to still perform well beyond 70 years. The "end" of a piano's life usually occurs when it has undergone enough wear and tear and natural decomposition to make it impractical to use as an instrument without exorbitant repairs. Common signs that your piano should be retired include the inability to play in tune, severe deterioration of the soundboard, iron plate, and mechanical action. So test the instrument out and evaluate it against others.

Take a Look at the Yamaha Piano Keys.

Check any potential Yamaha piano keys to ensure they are not broken, discolored, chipped, or missing. Consider buying a new piano if you find any anomalies to avoid possibly expensive repairs. The total number of keys should be 88, with 52 white and 36 black. Check the space available by pressing the keys from side to side. Pushing the keys from left to right should cause them to move around 2 millimeters. A key is touching the key above it, indicating that the keys are probably worn out or damaged. Consider purchasing new bushings for the piano if you still intend to buy it. The felt bushings on piano keys stop the keys from rattling.

Check for Clearly Visible Damages.

Keep an eye out for evident finish damage. Some types of damage, such as superficial dings, dents, and scratches, can be cleaned. Of course, if you want a piano in immaculate condition, you won't buy it. Still, occasionally a few dings and dents can lower the cost of an otherwise fully functional piano.

Water damage is the main thing to watch out for. First, inspect the piano's bottom margins for any loose veneer; this is typically the case with pianos that have had either extreme dryness or water damage.

Although loose veneer is unsightly, it is more significant because it indicates that the piano hasn't been adequately cared for or kept in a humidity-controlled environment.

Materials & Condition

Most pianos over a century old that has not been thrown away require significant restoration before they can be useful for players, although few are valuable enough to warrant such work being done. Many struggle to maintain tuning and/or urgently need new strings, hammers, dampers, pedal repairs – or all of the above. Players who buy these worn-out pianos as starting practice pianos will likely deal with a steady stream of complaints and subsequent repairs. This group of old pianos is typically not recommended for use in serious practice. Check the bass string sound before purchasing an old piano, especially one from the 1980s or 1980s. It occasionally happens that some strings sound significantly worse than others. They have a compressed, duller, or deafer sound. Instead of only reading a piano description, playing or listening to the instrument's sound is worthwhile.

Check the Market Resale Value

Considering how well-known and regarded Yamaha pianos are. Yamaha has a strong intrinsic market value. However, the market value of the pianos varies depending on the age and function. Even when they are several decades old, used Yamaha pianos are still excellent instruments with good resale value. A used Yamaha piano is also pleasurable to play as a new one if you buy one that has been carefully maintained and/or restored. You can also buy other piano accessories for your money with a used Yamaha because it is significantly less expensive than a new one.
