The most important thing is you trust yourself and play lots of pianos at and above your pricepoint. But I am by no means an expert, just someone who recently finished a search of my own. I personally didn't like the nordiska uprights as much as their grands, but then I was comparing them to a yamaha U3 and petrof 131, which isn't fair since those pianos are 3 times the price.
I'm sure you will get plenty of input on the chinese question, so I'll leave that alone.
Nordiska piano classica professional#
I just finished a 2 month piano search of my own so i have fresh non professional opinions to share.ġ) what are you thinking is the probable life of this piano?Ģ) Have you looked at used? You could probably get a decent used kawai or yamaha for half the price of the new kawai. those choices will still be there in a week, or month or whenever. (Same logic might apply to Story and Clark vs Boston argument if I go those routes too!). So, is the Kawai "twice" the piano? Does anyone have a strong feeling about Nordiska (Dongbei's) quality? Is a Kawai K25 a good compromise? I hate to be kicking myself down the road either because I paid waaaayyy more than I had to for the Kawai when I could have gotten something very good for half the price, or on the other hand decided to be skimpy with a Nordiska that turns out to be a piece of garbage. Still, if it's a "great" value, I would probably bite the bullet. Of course, I'm looking at more than twice the price of the Nordiska, which would be stretching my budget beyond what I'd like to spend for a first piano. On the other side, I've been told the Kawai K50 is a great upright (haven't played it yet) and that I can never go wrong with its craftsmanship. They simply haven't been doing it very long and who knows who'll be making or supporting the brand down the road. Problem is I'm still somewhat uneasy about a Chinese piano - lack confidence in the quality and longevity. And I've seen favorable comments about Nordiska's in general (including in Larry Fine's book). The price (somewhere in the low $3000s) is also quite attractive. I truly enjoyed the sound and feel of the Nordiska when I played it. I think I've narrowed my list down to a few finalists: either a Nordiska 118 upright or a Kawai K50 (I might also consider a Story & Clark 120 or Boaston 118S). Unfortunately, I've discovered that buying a piano can be more confusing and humbling than most things one would ever undertake. What's most exciting is to introduce the instrument to my 5 year-old daughter. I played piano as a child and am excited to take it on again as an adult. I'm currently in the market for my 1st piano.
