Some brands aware of this have thought that this reputation is enough to continue selling without necessarily betting on quality.<\/p>\n<h2>How much does a grand piano cost?<\/h2>\n<p>Grand pianos are usually expensive for the reasons explained above. On the one hand, we have low range grand pianos from \u20ac10,000, medium range pianos from \u20ac20,000 and the high range that could be considered in pianos from \u20ac40,000.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the best brands of grand piano?<\/h2>\n<p>There are many brands of grand pianos, but if we base ourselves on criteria of renown and historical reputation we can name the following brands.<\/p>\n<h3>Steinway And Sons<\/h3>\n<p>An original brand from Germany for more than 200 years, he also founded another factory in America in 1853. Historically it is one of the best known manufacturers and for a long time were the most purchased pianos. His models during the nineteenth century were exported throughout the colonial world of the time. It has a cheaper brand called Boston that&#8217;s manufactured in China.<\/p>\n<h3>Yamaha<\/h3>\n<p>Yamaha is today the largest manufacturer of musical instruments on the planet, was founded by Torakusu Yamaha in 1889 and is one of the most reliable brands that exist. Their quality systems are tremendously reliable. There are few brands that maintain this consistency and reliability in all their instruments.<\/p>\n<h3>Schimmel<\/h3>\n<p>One of Europe&#8217;s largest manufacturers, founded in 1885, is famous for introducing numerous innovations to its pianos. He makes expensive, high-quality pianos<\/p>\n<h3>Bechstein-Zimmermann<\/h3>\n<p>Beschstein of 1853 is one of the best-known high-end brands in the world. But under the name of Zimmermann or Hoffman it makes more affordable but good quality grand pianos.<\/p>\n<h3>Petrof<\/h3>\n<p>From 1864, it is the largest piano factory in Europe. It manufactures several ranges but is famous for also manufacturing parts for other brands.It is important to bear in mind that nowadays many piano parts are manufactured in China; it is another matter that the assembly is produced in another country.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that all these brands have numerous product series and there can be a lot of difference from one to another. So it&#8217;s not easy to judge a brand without taking a look at its entire catalog.<\/p>\n<h2>Yamaha Vs Bechstein Vs Petrof vs Steinway and Sons<\/h2>\n<p>Well, if we wanted to make a comparison of the brands this is not at all easy as we have commented before each one of the factories articles of various qualities and ranges. But we could talk about one factor and that is: who maintains more constant proportional quality in each of its products?<\/p>\n<p>Answering the previous question we decided without a doubt for Yamaha, because not only do we know her from the world of the grand piano, but we also know that she makes wonderful instruments of all kinds. These instruments come out of the factory perfectly tuned and usually don&#8217;t need adjustments until after a while.<\/p>\n<p>A good example of a Yamaha piano can be the Yamaha C3X which is usually around 28,000 euros, this is one of the most balanced pianos that can be found for its price and is one of the best selling in the world. Here we leave you a video to listen to its sound.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"C3X Yamaha Grand Piano\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4OPyb2dX4Hs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Although of course if your budget is much larger, you can already go to other models in which certain brands are unmatched. It is true that Yamaha seeks more to give a professional product of high quality but with less luxury.<\/p>\n<p>If you are willing to pay more than 100,000 \u20ac you can find the tremendous Steinway Grand Series D, evidently this will be an unmatched piano and the quality of its materials tremendous. A real luxury, then we leave you a video in which you can see how this marvel of technique sounds.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"#18 | Original Piano Composition - Steinway Model D Concert Grand Piano | Red Cedar Soundboard\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/152456740?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Yamaha also manufactures models to compete for over \u20ac100,000 but there the truth is that the Steinway Grand D series is difficult to beat. If you know English, this video review is very interesting; the Steinway model is compared to the high-end Yamaha S6. A good video that can clear up many doubts if you want to see an option in Yamaha.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Comparison between Yamaha S6 and Steinway Model B grand pianos.

You can save a lot of money if you do it well but you have to be very careful if you don&#8217;t know a lot about pianos. Even if you have a medium level piano you can lose a lot of money if you buy a second-hand high-end piano and it has a very broken mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>Be prudent, it makes no sense to be willing to spend more than 50,000 on a product and not properly check your purchase. If you want to value the purchase of a second-hand grand piano do so by following these steps.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Look for three or four that might interest you in your city or surroundings. Find out the price of that piano firsthand or how much it cost in your day.<\/li>\n<li>Once you have the list find yourself a piano luthier or an experienced private teacher. If he is a teacher ask him if he is able to evaluate the state of a piano and its credentials. Agree to pay for a few hours of your time to accompany you to check the pianos.<\/li>\n<li>It is true that you may pay for these services without finding the piano you want, as they may not recommend the purchase if they are in very poor condition. But you will win in two ways: you could have lost a lot more money and if you have really found a good offer you will know for sure and you can have a wonderful piano by investing a little in its restoration. To consider it a wonderful purchase we must think that the purchase plus the restoration should come out for 60% of the original price at most.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We hope that you have used these tips, if you think this post can be useful to someone do not hesitate to share it on social networks \ud83d\ude42 Thank you for reading it!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Vote if you liked this article \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grand pianos are the most expensive because they require the largest amount of materials and their manufacturing process is the most laborious.
