How to Buy a Good Used Piano

We have a comprehensive 8 page piano inspection checklist for you for free on "How to Buy a Good Used Piano." It is written with the amateur in mind so that you can inspect a piano on your own and be reasonably assured that it is a good piano.

However...one caution - the checklist to buy a used piano is basic information. After you have done the piano inspection and you think you have found a good one, do yourself a huge favour and ask a technician to inspect it also.

There's a lot more that could be wrong such as seized center pins in the whippen flanges, or cracks in the treble bridge where you can't see the problems or can't tell if there is a problem.

Cost for an inspection is generally half the price of a tuning and is money well spent. But since it will cost $50 - $75 you don't want to invite the technician to view every piano you look at. Take a copy of our How to Buy a Good Used Piano with you and make notes. When you think you've found the one you like - then call the technician to do a more thorough inspection for you.

After you receive your copy of "How to Buy a Good Used Piano" we will keep you informed on what's happening in our part of the piano world with our "Piano Notes Ezine". It will include answers we give to people that are always sending us questions on piano problems. We hope you enjoy it.
