Questions and Comments

“Do you accept part exchange?”

Hello, I am interested in purchasing your second hand 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
Lydia

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

“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

Kind regards, Nicole

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 secondhand 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,

Liz

Reply/ Dear Liz

We have the following second hand digital pianos available:

Hadley S1 £365
Broadway AB1 £399
Classenti CDP1 £499
Hadley D20 £595

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 £799 when new.
This piano is 3 years old.

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

“What’s available at the moment?”

CLP240 comparing YDP141

Dear Graham
I have been given the opportunity to purchase from a friend a 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.
Kind regards
Geoff

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.

“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.
Rob

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,

Graham Howard

UK Pianos

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.
