An ex school piano should ideally have new hammers fitted as well as a comprehensive overhaul. It may well be a very decent piano, but the extent and the quality of the work carried out is crucial. From what I understand (my French is not all that good), the 120 has "Renner hammers", while the 125 has "Renner action" - does this mean the same?įirstly the Welmar. Does anyone know these pianos? The Chavanne website provides a lot of information about the quality of their 125 upright piano, but says very little about their 120 piano.
How do these two pianos compare? Are they good quality, or should I really buy Yamaha or Kawai?įinally, I am also interested in the Chavanne 120, made in France (but haven't heard one yet). the bottom of the Petrof range or the top of the Irmler upright range - they are similar in price (both between 25 pounds). Other pianos we are considering are a new Petrof 116, or a new Irmler Professional 122 (made in Poland), i.e. Is there any reason to worry, or should the reconditioning have sorted it all out? Can I reasonably expect this piano to last through all the grades and ideally give my daughter a lifetime of piano playing pleasure? I know nothing about pianos and am a bit worried about buying second-hand, especially an ex-school piano. Its action has been reconditioned, the casework has been repolished and it has new felts on the hammers. My daughter's favourite so far is a reconditioned Welmar (114 cm high) from the early 70's, but apparently this has been a school piano, so may have been heavily used. Various people have recommended Yamaha or Kawai, but having tried some in shops, we don't really like their sound all that much. Pricing aside I am a huge admirer of PETROF as the instruments I’ve had the privilege of working on over the years have impressed me immensely.I am looking to buy an upright piano for my 7 year old daughter. Adding PETROF goes a long way to completing our range. Of course there is lots of price overlap when comparing uprights and grand pianos in the brand categories mentioned above. Very broadly in price order we first have our high quality pre-owned pianos and our Kawai digital range, then we move on to the various Kawai acoustic models, followed by PETROF, then Shigeru Kawai and finally Fazioli.
Our pre-owned pianos start with younger, better-quality, mid-range instruments. We don’t try and compete in the inexpensive entry level pre-owned market mostly served by private internet sales. Asked how PETROF fits into the Ian Burgess-Simpson Pianos range Ian said the following “We aim to stock a range of pianos from quality producers providing options at various price points.
If you’ve followed our recent news you will know this is the second new piano brand we’ve introduced over the past few months after taking on Fazioli earlier this year.
