You might think that a $15,000 piano sounds better than a $30,000. It’s important to decide which size piano you want (vertical, baby grand, or grand), what you want it to sound like, and how you want it to feel.
For grand pianos, prices range from $5,000 to $300,000 and even higher. Purchasing a piano is a matter of personal preference. I don’t play classical– I actually play pop/rock music by ear, and it’s ideal for that. Although it doesn’t have as “soft” or as “smooth” a feel as some of the higher-end European pianos, it’s more appropriate for the kind if music I play. The action (keyboard) is not too sensitive. What I like best about this piano is the overall feel, and how my body interacts with it. This piano is manufactured in Indonesia, and comes with a 12-year warranty (but you need to get it tuned each year to preserve the warranty). It’s available in ebony or ivory finishes, and mine is an ebony satin (not polished). It measures 41 inches high by 59 inches wide. This Kohler & Campbell piano is 5’1.5, with a soundboard of 1661 square inches. I purchased mine for significantly less than this. The piano has an MSRP of $14,000, according to the Blue Book of Pianos. Many people advised me to purchase a used piano because they were less expensive and I could afford one with a better brand name, but I wanted something that was mine from day one. I purchased my baby grand KCG-500 in October 2005– about a year and a half ago. At the lower end of the price range for pianos of its size, this instrument offers superb sound quality. The Kohler & Campbell KCG-500 baby grand piano is an outstanding value.
