My 2 cents

melan(*..*)

STEINWAY & Sons (made in US)
--> Depends on the model. Steinway has good quality on high end, like grand pianos. For Upright, not good enough for its price.

Yong Chang (manufacture in Korea)
--> Quality and stablility is ok, the sound is not competitive.

Baldwin (American made)
--> Quality is ok, the last OEM was Yamaha, now is changed to Kawai, because of the price.

KAWAI (another well known Japaness brand)
--> Quality is good, sound is little bit sharper than Yamaha. Resale price is not competitive as Yamaha.

Petrof (made in Czech)
--> Sound is good and soft, stability is ok, easier to crack on sound board. For young kids (5 - 8 years), the keys seem too tight for the tender fingers.

European piano (German brand)
--> Like Schimmel, Good and expensive, however, sound board easier to be cracked comparing with Piano made in North America.

You can check Piano Blue Book, the price is based on US market, but you can get a figure:

对不起各位，身旁小儿梦香，统一回答各位了，别见怪。本人曾做过数年钢琴销售， -leiyulai(duan); 2006-6-23 {303} (#3045502@0)
有些东西见仁见智，全凭个人喜好和经济条件。譬如车，韩国车和日本车在外观上也许差别不大，但所谓路遥知马力也。德国STAIWAY又比YAMAHA牛，可人家也是一分钱一分货呀----您愿意花上万块钱买一二手立式琴吗？又譬如买房，看您的目的是过渡还是长住不是？算来算去，还是YAMAHA经济适用。个人意见，仅供参考。个别问题，欢迎PM。

是你先生？你家开琴行？ #3038145 -lalam(lala); 2006-6-22 (#3042051@0)

多谢各位回答. 能否再给点建议 - - 何种型号的Yamaha较合适? (孩子初学, 希望买一台中高档,可以让他一直用下去的非专业的琴) -poollolo(吾鲁木齐); 2006-6-19 (#3036105@0)

U1 is enough. -miaomiao0(猫太太); 2006-6-20 (#3037048@0)
高不到哪里去的。就是个apartment size基本型就可以。高级的是三条腿的，盖子掀起来的，你买得起吗？你有地方放吗？你儿子啥时候能弹出高级的音乐？ -23456789(大白乎); 2006-6-20 (#3037360@0)
YAMAHA---U系列都是专业琴。像U1、U2、U3及其他含U的型号。建议不要买所谓的APARTMENT SIZE。一来孩子到一定程度（比如说七八级）用不尽兴，二来转手也不方便。 -leiyulai(duan); 2006-6-20 (#3038164@0)

U1旧的大概多少钱？我刚问了新琴$8500。 -y8liu(y8liu); 2006-6-22 (#3041560@0)

U3新琴大概多少钱？请问大家在那里买新琴? -jj0829(jj); 2006-6-22 (#3043083@0)

U3 is around 11K, but I think U1 is good enough. -melan(*..*); 2006-6-23 {100} (#3043586@0)
U3 has louder sound, it's good for performance. For young kids daily practice, U1 is more suitable.
There is a yamaha dealer at steels/yonge. -y8liu(y8liu); 2006-6-23 (#3043608@0)

300－500元买个电子琴就行了。基本和钢琴没啥区别，也会根据弹的力度不同不同声响 -zheyi(葱花小油饼); 2006-6-22 (#3042061@0)

NO！ -somewhere(身为女人); 2006-6-22 (#3042079@0)
电子钢琴？据说可以用到5级。谁家孩子用过，能介绍一下吗？ -lalam(lala); 2006-6-22 (#3042083@0)

俺家孩子用过1700左右的. 最后还是换了个真的 -laoliang(老亮); 2006-6-22 (#3043086@0)
2000的电子钢琴. 3个月考过8级. 是经过苏联老师确定才买的. 那时总搬家,方便. -lili98(0); 2006-6-23 (#3043323@0)

想知道具体的电子琴牌子 (brand name, modle). 方便的话，请告知。另，你家孩子练了多久琴后考过8级？谢谢先。 -busybeeca(BusyBee); 2006-6-23 (#3043519@0)

thanks for sharing. -lalam(lala); 2006-6-23 (#3043626@0)
同样的问题请你也答我一下行吗?另外你孩子只是考八级前三个月用了电钢,以前都用的真钢琴吧? 考完八级后继续用电钢,感觉怎样?问题多多,有劳回答,谢谢. -haohaohao(haohaohao); 2006-7-28 (#3108777@0)

电子琴 is not electrical piano, some electrical piano sounds good and feels good, not cheap (like Yamaha CP series) -ding_ding(丁_丁); 2006-6-23 (#3043536@0)
keyboard and piano is totally defferent instrument althought they both have keyboard. -zhffrank(Frank); 2006-7-22 (#3095826@0)

不知道楼上这些个是除了YAMAHA就不知道世界上还有别的牌子的钢琴呢还是哈日一族非日货不买的。还一个个争先恐后。唉世风日下啊。欧洲琴比小日本的好的去了，为什么不选呢？http://www.euromusic.ca/ -bdbs(不多不少); 2006-6-22 (#3043108@0)

Thanks! More information please. -laoyou(老游); 2006-6-22 (#3043140@0)

新的从2、3千到8、9千的都有吧。网站上看最近正好促销，30% MSRP off。打电话或亲自过去问好了。说国语的。他们是RCM指定考点，有很多专业老师。 -bdbs(不多不少); 2006-6-23 (#3043508@0)

新琴大概多少钱 -jj0829(jj); 2006-6-23 (#3043271@0)

对不起，我不是他们的sales，不清楚。我自己买的是petrof。你可以打电话过去咨询。905-475-3876。 -bdbs(不多不少); 2006-6-23 (#3043520@0)

Some brands you may consider: -ding_ding(丁_丁); 2006-6-23 {282} (#3043528@0)
STEINWAY (way much better than Yamaha and expensive)
Yong Chang (manufacture in Korea)
Baldwin (American made)
KAWAI (another well known Japaness brand)

There are many Canadian made brands on market, the quality depends on each indvidual, you may get a real good deal on that.

mark 一下 -aol(根正苗红--贫农出身); 2006-7-25 (#3102618@0)

2年多前我给孩子买的就是这个牌子。我觉得对钢琴牌子的喜好也是非常personal的，喜欢音色sharp一些的可能日本琴比较对胃口，欧洲琴一般比较mellow一些。现在的日本琴一些部件已经是用特制塑料来替代，相对耐久一些。一些欧洲牌子的琴 -finn(有巢氏); 2006-6-23 {140} (#3045198@0)
还是坚持沿用最初始的材料来制作，不用人造材料，他们认为这样能更好的表现钢琴的柔美音色。

中国人喜欢日本琴，这也是事实，就像日本车市场一样。
你是说stainway吧？ -leiyulai(duan); 2006-6-25 (#3047519@0)

我原来对电钢琴有一些偏见，最近去琴行弹了一下Yamaha Clavinova的电钢，可以很负责的说，论音质现在的电钢会比“立式”钢琴好，还可以省很多调琴和搬琴的银子。但要说手感吗, 只能说很像钢琴。 -sosad(ROLIA森林的故事); 2006-6-23 (#3043610@0)

我觉得如果只是让孩子有这方面的修养, 电子钢琴足以. 不操心费神. 省银子. 孩子考到10级没有问题. 当然如果孩子有天赋, 就要追求顶尖的琴发展成朗朗. 这种事都是因人而异. 象我, 因为不稳定, 总搬家就买电子的. 车上一放就走. 不操心 -lili98(0); 2006-7-25 (#3102607@0)

Yamaha的钢琴不错, 但声音有些脆, 适合于爵士乐等, 喜欢古典的话可以考虑东欧出的Petrov. -overbridge(康桥); 2006-6-23 (#3045482@0)

听说有些便宜的新琴过个三年五载的音质就差了很多，这样看来还是买好牌子吧。买钢琴能不能也像买抽油烟机那样来个团体价呢。这可能省得更多。 -sisimiss(冰糖葫芦); 2006-6-29 (#3054495@0)

咱们老家有句俗话：一分钱一分货是也。 -leiyulai(湄儿); 2006-7-22 (#3096553@0)

珠江琴has good quality but low price! For entry level, pearl river is good enough. the bottom line is that such good piano is not made in Japan, not made in Euro, it is Made in China!! -zhffrank(Frank); 2006-7-25 {159} (#3101949@0)

Pearl River Piano Group is the biggest piano manufactory in the world! And it also make some piano product lines for other piano group like Yamaha etc. as OEM.

今天又遇到一YAMAHA新琴（加拿大产）买主，说想撰文告诉大伙 -leiyulai(湄儿); 2006-7-25 {336} (#3102541@0)

不要买新琴。因为他的琴仅去年就调了五次------还没到位，眼下再打电话给师傅，人都不愿来了。试想名牌尚且如此，杂牌就不知道如何了。又，认识一主，从国内带了两台杂牌琴，嘿，师傅们一听这牌子，根本就不愿上门。------那个后悔劲！归根结底，会弹的人兴许能选到好音色，里面的东西，却是学问大着呢！祝各位好运吧！如果不觉得俺夸大其词，愿意给您中肯意见。

作为一个专业的调音师，不得不指出，他家的调音师和别人很不一样 -kw_er(lala); 2006-7-30 {132} (#3112329@0)
这么多年，极少碰到挑不出来的琴，如果有问题，有经验的老调音师，可以修复大多数情形。
中国的琴应该没有问题。尤其是老珠江，质量很稳定。
