Questions and Answers

Hi Duncan

Very sorry I missed you on the UK Pianos online chat.

There are two pianos with 5 dynamic levels that I recommend for you:
Broadway BW1 and Gewa UP355.

Both are really nice pianos to learn on because the key
weight and resistance is similar to a real piano.

The Gewa has a fuller, more resonant tone, also with
a longer sustain. This is due mostly to the sampling and
larger speakers.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

You can also call me on 020 8367 5107.

Yours pianistically

Hi Graham

How fortuitous that a message should arrive from you!
For various reasons I never got around to getting the digital piano as planned, but now I’m ready.
What would you recommend?
My priority is to play for myself, with no one else having to listen, but for it to sound nice to my ears.
I’m still keen on a Yamaha, but I imagine that there might have been some changes to the catalogue in recent years.
Very open to your advice.

Reply/ Hi Annie

There are several nice pianos I can introduce to you,
but can I ask, what level of playing are you?

And is your budget under £1,000?

Further questions/ Hi Graham

Thank you so much for getting back to me.
My playing is EXTREMELY rusty, but, with a bit of practice.

I got to Grade 8 once upon a time. (And won a couple of classes at a festival at age about 12 I think – the competition must have been very low quality!)

Budget is not a huge consideration, although I would not say that it would be worth going to the absolute top of the range. I have no particular feelings on new or used – just something that I can enjoy.

I see that you have a showroom in Daventry. Coming from Oxfordshire would be a fairly easy journey.

Would that be a good idea?

Reply/ Hi Annie

Two pianos I recommend are the Broadway BW1 and
Gewa UP355.

The Broadway has a firm, fully-weighted feel and
a warm, pure tone that sounds close to an acoustic piano.
At £999, it’s the best value digital piano I’ve played.
You can see details, photos and a video here

The Gewa UP355 is a step up again.
This piano has been sampled on a Steinway grand.
It has a large, rounded, resonant tone with superb sustain.

The Gewa’s key touch is ultra responsive making
it suitable for any level of playing.

Either piano would be suitable for you to get
back into playing again.
If (or should I say, WHEN) you get back
to grade 8 level again, then you’d probably
prefer the Gewa’s more sensitive touch,
which allows you to play with more expression.

We don’t currently have these pianos on display
in our Daventry branch, but you can come to
our Enfield store to try them out.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Yours pianistically

“Rent to Buy a Gewa UP355?”

Would be interested to speak to your technician regarding my Clavinova re possible service but, at the same time, I have noted your comments about the Gewa pianos, the UP355 in particular, the second hand one you have in your Enfield shop. It would be on a Rent to Buy arrangement so that I could at least try it and, if happy with the touch, could purchase it after the six months.
Do you think the Gewa would be a good choice having had a Clavinova all these years?
Look forward to hearing from you.

Reply/ Hi Betty

I will get the digital piano technician’s number for you.

The Gewa UP355 has a really lovely sound.
It’s sampled on a Steinway grand.
You can hear the warm, rounded tone throughout.

It also has excellent sustain and a nice feel to the keys.

Your Yamaha Clavinova is very old. Most spare
parts are no longer available for this model,
so not sure if a technician could fix it anyway.
I’d be happy to take it away without any charge
if you rent or purchase the Gewa.

Just let me know.

Regards
Graham Howard

I am keen to buy your Second Hand Gewa UP355.

On the description it says there is a Rent – to buy option. I wondered if you could give me details of the pricing of this.

I live in Bristol so it’s a long way to come and test the piano, so the rent to buy option would be great to make sure I like it! I’ve read many of your reviews and looked at your Howard Score, so am pretty sure I’ll like it, but am thinking the rent to buy option would give me a chance to try it for a few months first

I played as a kid to about Grade2/3 level. I always played on a piano and loved it. I had a Yamaha cheap keyboard in my Twenties, but didn’t find it responsive enough, so am keen for a digital piano that feels more like a piano than my previous model!

I also have 3 kids so this is an opportunity to give them a chance to play too.

Dear Jenny

Yes, this piano is available on the rent to buy programme.
It is £55 per month.

There is a 20% deposit (£280) that goes towards
the price or is given back to you if the piano is
returned after the rental.

There is a delivery charge depending on your postcode
and if there are any steps or stairs.

The Gewa UP355 has a warm, resonant tone.
It’s sampled on a Steinway, and you can hear
the depth of tone quality throughout its ranges.

The keys are fully-weighted and sensitive to touch.

I recommend this piano for any level if playing.
It has no limitations.

Yours pianistically

Graham Howard
