purchasing a piano
A big investment – seek the help of a well-qualified professional
Before buying a piano you should educate yourself about piano makes and models. Two good sites for information are Piano Buyer and Piano Book.
After deciding on and finding a piano, hire a piano tuner to assess the piano's condition. This is, of course, especially important when buying a pre-owned instrument.
