Questions and Comments

 

Hi Graham my son is currently learning piano on a keyboard and needs to upgrade to a digital piano we have been looking at second hand Yamaha Clavinovas and Arius but really not sure any advice would be grateful.

Reply/ Hi Glyn

The most important thing to have is fully-weighted keys.
Most modern Yamaha Clavinovas have this.

The Arius range is more basic really, so I would
stick with either a Clavinova or something similar
in a different brand.

They’re also available on Rent-to-Own.

In particular, I recommend the following as
suitable for your son to learn and progress on:

Classenti H2
You can see this here

Or

Gewa DP300G

These are both really nice to play and I recommend
them for your son, as they feel close to playing on a real piano.

We’re looking to buy a digital piano.
Could you tell me the number of digital pianos you have in your Enfield showroom and the price range, please?
And do you currently have any Yamaha digital pianos in the Enfield showroom?

Reply/ Hi Catherine

We currently have eight digital pianos in our Enfield showroom.
Yamaha, Gewa and Broadway (new and second hand). Price range is £599 to £1399.

There are a total of 4 Yamaha digitals: YDP-S52, CLP525, CLP320, CLP440.
Only the YDP-S52 and CLP525 are in our Enfield shop.
The others are in our Northamptonshire shop.

Hi Graham

Thanks for the useful bible. It’s most helpful.
I’m considering buying a used digital piano for my 2 kids.
What’s your opinion on Technics PCM Pr303, when compared with Yamaha 115
and Roland Fp30?

Please advise asap.

Thank you.

Reply/ Hi Winston

I don’t advise getting a Technics digital piano.
These are very old pianos, and parts are no
longer available, so anything was to go wrong
with it you would be stuck.

The Yamaha CLP115 and Roland FP30 are
also old models, the Roland being the newest
of all three pianos.

However, the Roland FP30 has only weighted keys, so
the feel isn’t close to a real piano.

We have several new and second hand pianos
available at the moment.
We also do Rent to Buy.

Let me know if you would like some recommendations.

“I’m looking for a decent used digital piano”

Hi Simon

The piano I was recommending to you the other
day is the Roland HP503.
It has a warm, resonant tone that’s quite realistic.
Its key touch is firm and responsive and feels
very much like playing on a real piano.

You can see it here

We also have a used Gewa DP300G here

The Gewa also has a warm tone that’s
more mellow and softer than the Roland.

Both pianos have fully-weighted keys.

Personally I prefer the clear tone of the Roland.
It has more sharpness to the sound.

Just let me know if you would like to reserve
either of these pianos or have any questions.

Yours pianistically

Would you have any recommendations for a decent second hand electric piano for our students to practice on in one of our practice rooms?

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

Dear Phillipa

Two pianos I recommend for you are the Kurzweil MP10F
and MP120 models.

These both have a Steinway sound sample and
fully-weighted keys, making them ideal for practicing on,
as they emulate an acoustic piano really well.

You can see them here

Please let me know if any of these interest you or you have any questions.

Kind regards

“Buying a second-hand digital piano from your store through Rent to Buy”

Dear UK Piano Team,

Good morning. I hope this email finds you well.

I am interested in purchasing a second-hand digital piano from your store through the Rent to Buy scheme.

My daughter has been playing the piano for about 7–8 years, but until now she has only practiced on keyboards and small digital instruments. This will be her first proper piano, and since we are not very knowledgeable about pianos, our original plan was to visit your store, speak with your team, and try the instruments in person.

However, travelling to London is quite difficult for us at the moment, especially with a small baby. For this reason, I am reaching out by email and would be very grateful for your guidance.

I have a few questions regarding second-hand digital pianos and the Rent2 to Buy option:

1. When browsing your second-hand digital pianos, I see that some are listed as “good” condition and others “excellent,” and the prices seem reasonable. We will be living in the UK for only two more years, after which we will return to our home country. Since we cannot take the piano with us, we will need to sell it when we leave.
Do you buy back second-hand digital pianos, or do you offer any kind of buy-back or trade-in service?

2. I also noticed that some new digital pianos are available under the Rent to Buy scheme, and for certain models the price difference from second-hand options is not very large. In this case, would buying a new piano be a better option in terms of resale value after two years?

3. Since we are unfamiliar with the process, could you please advise how second-hand pianos are typically sold in the UK? And again, is there any system at your store for purchasing used instruments back from customers?

I apologise for the long email, but as we will be completing the purchase or rental online, I wanted to make sure I understand everything clearly.

Thank you very much for your time, patience, and support. I truly appreciate your help.

Kind regards,

Reply/ We don’t always buy pianos back, but we
do offer trade-ins.
The best places to sell are eBay or Facebook
marketplace. You would normally get at least
half the price you initially paid for the piano.

Yes, buying a new piano would appear to be
the better option for you, as you will get
the latest model and the re-sale value would
be more than for most of our second hand pianos.
This is because of the small price difference,
as you said.

I recommend looking at the Broadway BW1 for
your daughter. This has a lovely tone, and the
keys are fully weighted with good sensitivity.
It feels close to playing on a real piano.

You can see it here

Let me know if you have any questions or would
like to place an order.

Yours pianistically

Hi,

I’m looking at three options of digital pianos, and would be grateful for any advice you can give. I’m looking to buy a piano for my daughter who has completed grade 5 on an normal upright. Basically looking for a piano replacement, so not interested in any of the different voices, recording etc.

The three options are

Yamaha CLP 320 (around £450)
Yamaha CLP 370 (around £600)
Kawai CA17 (£800)

So my question is whether it is worth spending the extra money on the 370 or CA17?

Many thanks

Reply/ Dear Anton

The Yamaha CLP370 appears to be the best deal out of the three.
This is suitable for up to grade 8 level.

UK Pianos also has second hand digital pianos for sale.

Our pianos all come with a 2-year warranty covering all
parts, labour and home visits.

Kind regards

I am looking to purchase a second hand digital piano.
I have never played before and my budget is around £300-500.

I would like a piano which isn’t just a keyboard if that makes sense. I want the piano feel with foot pedals etc.
I have been looking around and the Classenti or Yamaha Arius seem good but I am open to suggestions.

Can you advise if you have anything in stock?
I live fairly close to Enfield.

Reply/ Hi Sue

Either the Yamaha Arius or Classenti would be
a good choice.
They both have fully-weighted keys and an
authentic piano tone.

What level of playing are you at the moment?

Further/ I have never played before! Mid life plan to learn. I would one day like to play moonlight sonata on the piano. Possibly a pipe dream!

Do you have any in stock. I do want a piano feel and would consider other brands

Further reply/ Hi Sue

The issue might be your intended budget.
There aren’t any new pianos in that price bracket
that I’d be able to recommend. The quality is quite
poor on anything much below £600 really, and they
don’t feel or sound close enough to a real piano.

As for second hand, you might be able to pick
up a second and Yamaha Arius, but they’re
only a little bit better than the cheaper brands
for that price.

Another option would be to get a digital piano on
our Rent to Own programme.

You can get a really nice piano for around £45
to £55 per month, with the first 6 month’s rental
payments counting towards the purchase price.

I recommend the Broadway BW1.
This has fully-weighted keys and an authentic
piano sound. It’s really nice to play and you
can learn and progress on it right up to the
higher levels.
It’s also our best selling piano,

You can see it here

Hi,

Looking for either a second hand piano or digital piano. My budget is £500. What’s the best I can get for this budget?

Thank you,

Reply/ For around the £500 – £600  mark I recommend
one of the Classenti digital pianos.

The Classenti digital pianos were around £800 – £900
when sold as new.
The ones we have second hand are all in excellent condition
and have fully-weighted keys and a natural piano tone.

Kind regards, Graham Howard

 

“Do you accept part exchange?”

Hello, I am interested in purchasing your pre-owned Yamaha CLP 645. Can you tell me how old it is and whether it comes with warranty?

Do you accept part exchange? I have a Yamaha Arius YDP 140 in as new condition.

Thank you very much.

Reply/ Hi Lydia

I am very sorry, this piano is no longer available.
However, we have a second hand Gewa UP380GWK
made by the German company Gewa.
This is rated above the level of the Yamaha.

The Gewa sounds and feels very close to an acoustic piano.
It has a really sensitive key feel that allows you to play a
wide range of dynamics. You can put so much expression
into your music… and the sound quality is full, warm and
resonant. It has wooden keys, so the feeling is firm.

Gewa are the only brand that’s been allowed by Steinway
(some German collaboration thing) to put the Steinway
sound in digital pianos.

You can see the Gewa UP380GWK here

The price is £1899 for our 6 month old display model.
It is in perfect condition and has hardly been played.

Let me know if you would like to reserve it, or if you’d
like to come and try it in our Enfield store.

We also do part exchange.
I can offer you £250 for your YDP140.

Kind regards

Graham Howard

 

Hello I’m looking for a second hand Kawai cn32 piano I really like the sound and the voices etc

Reply/ Hi Andrew

We don’t have any second Kawais at the moment.
However, we have 2 or 3 similar second hand pianos
to the Kawai CN32 in different makes:

Broadway BW1

Kurzweil M110

Gewa DP300G

The prices of the second hand models are here

Out of the three, I would say that the Gewa has
the most natural sound. It is sampled on a Steinway
grand piano, which is a really nice warm rounded tone.

The Broadway is a great all-rounder and good value
for money. It is our most popular piano.

The Kurzweil is the most similar to the Kawai.
It has a brighter (harder) tone than the Gewa
and Broadway. The key touch is also slightly lighter.

Let me know if you would like to come and see these
pianos in our Enfield shop, or would like to reserve
one over the phone.

Yours pianistically
Graham Howard

 

“I’m looking for a second hand digital piano”

Hello Graham

I wonder if you could help me. I am trying to source a second hand digital piano for my daughter. She is studying for her grade 5 exams. I have the opportunity to buy either a Yamaha YDP S34, YDP 162, or a 140. I really don’t know how to make the best purchase, other than by how much they cost, but that doesn’t really mean anything, if you know what I mean!

I would appreciate a bit of advice, if you had any!

Thanks in advance.

Reply/ Hi Nicole

The pianos you have seen are all about 5 years
old or more.

It’s usually best to get a brand new digital piano
rather than a second hand one.

The main reason is the warranty.

If you buy a second hand digital piano from a private
seller then it’s unlikely you’d get a warranty.

This leaves you open to any repair bills if something
went wrong with the piano.

Repairs are incredibly expensive on digital pianos.
Technicians charge £100-£200 for a minor repair
(sticky key, single note not sounding etc.), and
anything more than that can cost £200-£300+

It’s a risky business.

What’s more, the older digital pianos have a
much noisier keyboard than the newer ones.
Technology has moved on a lot.

If you really must buy a second hand digital piano
then a Yamaha, Roland, Kurzweil, or Broadway
NO LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD would be OK.

But, please get it checked out thoroughly before
you commit to buying it.

If you could stretch your budget to a brand new
piano then I recommend the following:
Broadway B1 or Gewa DP300G.

The Gewa DP300G would be my first choice.
It’s a newly launched model (made in Germany)
and has a wonderful piano tone…

The sound is taken directly from a Steinway concert
grand. It has a warm, resonant and natural tone –
refreshingly different to the hard tone of most
digital pianos.

What’s more, the DP300G has 5 dynamic levels.
This means you can play a wide range of different
volume levels on each key. This is required for
grade 6 and above.

You can see the Gewa DP300 here

The Broadway B1 is another for you to consider.
And this is our best selling digital piano.

The Broadway B1 is suitable for up to grade 6
level. Broadway make nice digital pianos.
Both the sound and feel of the keys are close
to a real, acoustic piano.

You can see it here

I recommend either piano as suitable for your
daughter to learn and progress on.

Yours pianistically,

Graham Howard

 

“Do you have second hand Broadway’s that would be a bit cheaper?”

Hi Graham,

Many thanks for such a quick response.

£600- £700 is slightly more than I was hoping to pay. I think my realistic top-end budget is £400. I’m afraid I’ve also fallen into the trap I’ve seen many of your clients mention of looking at cheap, used digital pianos on eBay, but I would rather buy from a reputable supplier such as yourself.

I wonder do you have secondhand versions of the Broadway pianos that would be a bit cheaper, or is there another model that might be suitable at a slightly lower price point?

Many thanks again.

Reply/ Dear Liz

We have the following second hand digital pianos available:

Hadley S1
Broadway AB1
Classenti CDP1
Hadley D20

The Hadley S1 and Broadway AB1 are both
portable pianos, but are OK to learn on and
you can put them on a table top or get a
fold-away stand.

The Classenti CDP1 has a nice tone and is a
good price, considering it was about £800 when new.
This piano is 3 years old.

Please let me know if you would like to
reserve any of these pianos.

See the complete list of used digitals here

If you want something better, then have you
considered the Rent to buy option?
You can see details here

Yours pianistically

Graham Howard

 

“What’s available at the moment?”

1) Broadway EZ-102PE

This is 1 year’s old.

Excellent working order, but a 10 inch crack on back panel.
This doesn’t affect the stability in any way. The crack is not
visible if you are standing in the room or sitting at the piano.
You can see it from the front  only if you sit on the floor.

2) Classenti CDP1 in black satin

In excellent working order. Has hardly been played.
There are some marks and chips on the side and
bottom of both legs. Hence the price reduction.

CLP240 comparing YDP141

Dear Graham
I have been given the opportunity to purchase from a friend a Yamaha Clavinova CLP-240 (3 years old) for £500. How does this piano compare with a new Yamaha YDP141?
Which would you recommend as the better buy, assuming I would need to buy the YDP141 from new at £600+?
Many thanks for your advice.

Reply/ Hi Geoff

£500 appears to be a fair deal for the CLP240.
Although the CLP240 is quite old, it still plays
better than a YDP141.

Yours pianistically,

Graham Howard

 

“I’m looking to buy my first ever digital piano”

Hi Graham,

Thanks for pulling together such an informative site – I’ve spent many hours reading through the reviews, the “7 things you must know” book and your forum, but I still have a question.

I’m looking to buy my first ever digital piano (I’ll be living in a maisonette, so a real piano may annoy the neighbours). I played the Piano as a kid up until Grade 6,. But haven’t really played properly for 7/8 years. I’m looking to get something that will allow me to tinkle around on – and try and pick up where I left off.

Somebody at work is selling a Yamaha CLP370 which is 1yr old – she says it was bought for £1,950 and is looking for £1,250. I am tempted to offer her a £1,000 for it, assuming it is in good condition.

My question is if I have a max of £1,000 to spend, would I be better off going for the 2nd hand CLP370, or a brand new cheaper model such as the Yamaha YDP181.
I’m not overly worried about the number of voices, more the general feel and a good realistic sound.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Reply/ Hi Rob

If you can get the CLP370 for £1,000, and it’s in good
condition (which I expect it is), then you’ve got
yourself a bargain.

The CLP370 is far superior both in sound quality and
key touch to the YDP181.

Yours pianistically,

Graham Howard

 

“I am looking for a digital piano for my 9 year old son to learn on”

There is a second hand Yamaha Clavinova CLP-20 for sale on an internet
trading site for NZ$950. Would this be suitable for my son to learn on?

I have also been looking at the Casio Privia range.

I would be interested in your recommendations.

Many thanks,

Terrence Smith (in New Zealand)

Reply/ Hi Terrence

The Yamaha CLP-20 is a VERY old piano. I definitely
don’t recommend going for this one.

The latest Casio Privia range (PX130 and up) would
be a better choice.

Yours pianistically,

What’s the average life span of a digital piano?

This is a question often asked by customers considering buying a used digital piano.

Factors that determine how long a digital piano lasts are: how much it has been played, the quality of the instrument in the first place, and how well it has been looked after.

We advise buying a used digital piano that’s no more than 5 years old. Only buy a well known brand such as: Yamaha, Roland, Kurzweil, Kawai, Broadway, Casio, Gewa, Korg or Hadley
