The greater height (and depth) than either option #1 or #2 is significant in its sound. Nothing mass-produced looks anything like this. At the time it was made, Mason & Hamlin and Steinway were arguably the most prestigious pianos in the U.S. Pros: It's gorgeous and would fit perfectly with our decor.


Specifially: new hammers, new felts, voiced/tuned, action fully regulated & conditioned, new key tops, case refinishing, etc. Meticulously "refurbished" by a well-respected Philadelphia/NYC-area piano restorer (they do mostly Steinways). Other con is that it has a similar "professional" look to the Yamaha P-22, though the Cunningham is more attractive. And often dangerous junk at that (lead painted toys to antifreeze in the cough syrup). Drugs, dog food, toys, clothing, electronics. Cons: It's made by Hailun and to be honest I'm having a hard time shaking the desire to run away screaming from anything made in China at the moment. I get the sense this isn't just another stencil piano, that they're pretty involved in its manufacture, but I have some concerns there, which brings me to. The warranty is slightly better than that for choice #1 above. Cons (again, to me): Ugly as sin (blocky, looks like it could be found in any music classroom in America), and the sound is a little loud or brassy or whatever - I think I like a mellower sound.Ģ.) A new "Cunningham Piano Co." 45" upright. (It's about $6900 new.) Pros (to me): well-known good quality brand, great warranty, workhorse piano likely to sound good for a while.

They are upgrading their studio piano and are selling it now with the same full warranty as though it were new. Well-maintained and only ever played in the studio of a leading music store in the Philadelphia area. If you had to choose between each of the following three options, which would you pick and why?ġ.) Yamaha P-22. (Only many times more expensive.) So I joined this forum and am hoping you all can help me. I'm having a really tough time and am finding the experience of trying to compare/contrast pianos a bit akin to buying a mattress.
