I am thinking about a 15 year old technics dig. piano Model SX-PR100 on ebay

Question/ Hi Graham,

Perhaps you could help me get some info as to which might be suitable. I
want to play piano (my mum was a piano teacher) rather than keyboard but I
am thinking about a technics dig. piano.Model SX-PR100 on ebay. It is 15 yrs
old and in good cond.
Do you think this might suit me to start on and do for a while ?
I am now 61 so I won't be racing to play like Billy Joel, but I do want to
play properly.
Thanks
Peter

Reply/ Hi Peter

To be completely honest, I wouldn't touch it with
a ten foot pole.

Not that Technics isn't a good make or anything, any
digital piano that is 15 years old is ANCIENT and
you will likely have untold problems with it:
sticking notes, rattling sounds etc.

eBay can be a good place to buy secondhand digital
pianos, but I wouldn't look at anything older than
5 years.

My advice to you is to carry on looking for bargains on
eBay or treat yourself (if you can afford it of course) to
a brand new digital piano.

My recommendation is the Yamaha CLP220 (around £700)
or if this is over your budget, the Yamaha YDP131 (£510).

You can read more about them here:

Dear Graham

I'd discovered that Technics have stopped making pianos and there are a lot of disgruntled people on forums who can't get theirs repaired, so I've decided against it when put along with your advice.

Regards

Lucy
