本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛要给6岁女儿买琴。.
本人是音乐盲, 我的亲戚去年买了个 used Yamaha ($4400 for 198x U3). 所以 YAMAHA 是我唯一知道的品牌, 二手 YAMAHA 是我唯一的选择直到打电话给我一个国内的朋友: 中国音乐学院钢琴系老师. ,她说她刚买了一个KAWAI 琴(RMB 42,000), 学校的琴房也是 KAWAI. KAWAI 和YAMAHA 一样好。近三周跑了一些琴行:1)some Yamaha dealers in Richmond Hill and Markham, 2) used Yamaha(made in 1980-1982) shops in Markhm 3) total 2 only Kawai dealers in Ontario, one in Newmarket, one in Oakville. 作了很多 Web research.; 这里是我的研究报告。
1 不买电子钢琴:1)键的感觉不一样 2)五年后一文不值
2 初步定买 new KAWAI 钢琴 over used Yamaha ( could not afford new Yamaha and Kawai is as good as Yamaha if not better)
1)used yamaha made in 1980 which is 28 years ago, and piano is life is 50 years old, so resale is hard when you want to sell it (not many people want to buy a 40 years old piano)
2) new "action" technology evoled from 1970 wood to 1990 ABS to 2006 Millium III technology to make new piano better than old one( that is what Yamaha sales called "plastic of Kawai" to dismiss Kawai),
3) tone can be adujst to either "dark" for JAzz style or classic "bright" (yamaha is always bright) ( that is from KAWAI sales i am not sure ture or not)
4) 15 years warranty and 5 years free upgrade , for example , if you buy K-2 then after 5 years you find you baby is a genius and he or she stills want to play piano and feels k-2 is not good enough and you can get a upgrade with a full value k-2 return ( that is from sales and needs to be verified )
3. KAWAI 哪一款 , kx series 普及档 it is not sold in USA only in Canada in NA so it is hard for resale and Made in China。( i dont say that is bad but just hard for resale ) K series ( k-2, 3, 5, 8)是专业档
KX15 (45"), Made in China $3450
KX21 (48") Made in China
K-2 (45") Made in Japan $4700 ( sales said you can find it $3400 in USA but they dont care, because you would not buy it from USA, duty, broker fee, tax....,anything is cheaper in USA )
K-3 (48") Made in Japan $5900
4. 亲自去听,去比较,自己去决定. 如果只去一家店.我推荐 Merriam Music in Oakville( i live in Newmarket) , they carry almost all kinds of piano from $250,000 best in the world to the cheap ones , to the middle class like Kawai and Yamaha so you can compare by yourself. especially the used Yamaha with the new Kawai K-2 or K-3 in one place.

5. 团购, if you decide buy piano from Oakville shop(either used yamaha or new Kawai ). we can buy together to get some discount. .
6. i will buy K-3 anyway.(k-2 is no difference in terms of sound quality, but k-3 is a better furniture) , my original plan is a $2000 no name used piano, that is more than enough for my kids, but then i went to used Yamaha $4000 , then new Kawai $5900, i know it is not wise decision but just like buy cars, Camera更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
