Beyond that distance you can work with a piano mover(we used Keyboard Carriage out of Elizabethtown, KY) as you wish. If you are within 150 miles of Greensburg, KY(42743) then I can arrange delivery for $500. I can ship it anywhere in the world) but the cost is variable with location. FREIGHT COSTS: The piano can be delivered to anywhere in the US(in fact. this delightful instrument is ignored because we have a $40,000 Steinway in the same room! I kid you not. when they are in the same room together, and the player is able to go between them instantly, even hear the tone differences side by side, they always gravitate to the Steinway. Had we brought the Kawai in by itself, the children would have thought it was the best thing they had ever touched. Then we moved to a larger place and one day I found a deal on these two instruments and had them delivered together. They always longed for a baby grand and didn't even hope for a grand because I said they were too big and too expensive. My children played a Kimball upright we got from a school. Maybe you like big band music played bluegrass style! Recorded on a smartphone so audio isn't stellar. But now that I did all that work to put the link in there. Work is thin right now so we're selling luxuries like these two pianos(I also have a 1925 Steinway B 7' Grand for $35.000, also in excellent condition) to hear it being played. My family is musically minded so we have good instruments for the children. Most recent tuning was about 3 months ago. Strings appear slightly aged but still in excellent shape, as is voicing. Everything looks essentially new, including Bridges, Pinblock, Action. Or it wasn't played much in the last 25 years since it was. This makes them a great medium term solution until you are ready to invest in a good acoustic piano as a long term solution.As far as the experts are concerned. They have the benefit of needing no maintenance, and they are fun and interesting for the player. Digital pianos like the models we sell have good, consistent feel, they are in tune, they provide dynamic control. While nothing will replace a high-quality acoustic piano, often a better budget choice is a digital piano for the reasons stated. Students need encouragement, and a good instrument will help. If your attitude toward the piano is that it is nothing special, your children will pick up on this. For these reasons, a spinet makes a poor, inadequate and discouraging starter piano.Īnother subtler point is that these hand-me-down pianos often send the wrong message to children. Technicians dislike working on spinets because you can’t get out the effort you put into them. Spinets were always cheaply made, so as they age, they are even more likely to have tuning problems. The spinet action combined with the piano’s small stature allow for almost zero dynamic control.
The spinet drop-action is a pull-type rather than a push-type and this makes them too light and imprecise for students.

The tallest studio uprights (48″+) are often called professional or upright grands.Ī spinet has a different kind of action than better pianos. Pianos 40″ and shorter are spinets, 41″ – 44″ tall are consoles, 45″ and taller are studio uprights. Spinet pianos can be identified by their height. They have several disadvantages over console and studio upright pianos. Again, proper feel is needed to develop dynamic control and better playing techniques.Ī spinet piano is a very small upright piano. An intermediate player needs a piano with a good sound to develop musicality and dynamic control. A young beginner needs a piano with a good, consistent feel to develop muscle memory and hand strength. Don’t fall into this trap.Ī young beginner needs a piano with a good, in-tune sound for ear training. Spinet pianos are cheap, small, they look like other pianos and the thought is that with just a little work, they could be good enough for a beginner. Retire Spinet Pianos: Good starter pianos and Bad starter pianosįor a beginning student, the best solution is a new piano or high-quality used piano, but when budget is an issue, people commonly seek out less expensive options.
