Decorating Around an Upright Piano, Pictures of Pianos in Rooms
When I started researching upright pianos a couple of weeks ago, I learned what to look for in a used piano. Before then, I would see a piano at the thrift store, and I would just blank out--no idea how to value the thing! Now, I can share my knowledge with you.There are 3 expensive things to replace in a piano: the sound board, the pins, and the strings. There are some things that aren't that expensive to replace: keys and hammers. Also, pianos only last about 50 years until needing a lot of replacement parts. I learned all of this by watching a great You Tube video series by a used piano dealer, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fysDlZ6B8lc. Definitely learn more about these things before you buy a used piano!! But here, I'm not going to write more than that--this is a decorating blog. What is relevant to both piano sound and value AND decorating is SIZE.
In general, the bigger the piano, the better the sound quality, the more it weighs, and the more it costs. They are all similar depths and lengths, but the height is what changes. There are 4 heights of vertical/upright pianos: spinet, console, studio, and upright . . . Keep in mind that the older the piano, the more chances there are for expensive repairs. Studios and consoles aren't that old right now in the used piano market. Spinets are second oldest; uprights are the very oldest.
