What Are The Best Piano Brands?
Posted on Tue, Jul 10, 2012
That is a question no two people on earth will agree on. It depends on:
- Who is going to play it?
- Do you want new or used?
- How much do you want to spend?
- How much room do you have for a piano?
- What kind of sound do you want… Bright? Mellow? Other?
- What finish do you want? High polish, satin, wood, other?
- What style do you want? French, empire, spade leg, other?
- Do you want a piano player system on it?
- Would you rather rent a piano first to try before you buy?
No single manufacturer covers all all the bases. The actual truth is that you are the world’s greatest expert on what you like and want!
In the wide world of piano experts, no two agree on much of anything. The fact is most all have a vested interest one way or the other. Today, the piano business is so competitive that no company can survive making poor quality pianos. This was not always true. Today, I do not know a piano company making bad pianos. There is such a thing as paying too much for a piano (due in part to high overhead freeway locations) and most everyone disagrees as to which one is better than another.
This is where Houston Piano Company can really help you and your family through the process. We are the only dealer in Houston that is not beholden to a major piano manufacturer. When a dealer is beholden, the manufacturer dictates to the dealer what he can have on his floor. The truth is the dealer really becomes like an employee of the manufacturer and turns over control of his company to the manufacturer, under threat of losing the line if the manufacturer becomes displeased.
We at Houston Piano Company do not play the game of servitude to a particular manufacturer. As soon as you arrive on campus you will discover we have a very different approach to the piano business altogether. We buy from many new manufacturers and make that plain to them from the get go. We also have the most comprehensive display of certified pre-owned pianos in the south. You see we have a huge selection of brands you will see nowhere else and you can hand select based on your answers to the above criteria.
We are not here to meet a quota from a manufacturer to obtain a rebate. We are here to help you find the piano that is just right for you! You are the expert! Just call (832) 231-8810 for one of our very experienced associates to walk you through the process, and rest assured you are in excellent hands!
