When buying a restored Steinway, You save more than money
To buy a new Steinway or not to buy new, it is the question. Or is it matter? The answer is more straightforward than many people understand. When considering the possibility of purchasing a brand new Steinway grand piano direct from the factory, or buy a restored or rebuilt Steinway, there is really no comparison. Of course when you purchase a new Steinway piano, you get the factory warranty and back up and support to the original Steinway & Sons factory itself. You should also know that if there are any serious errors or problems with the piano that the factory will take care of the problem. Whether you chooses an instrument directly from the floor of Steinway in New York, or from a certified Steinway Gallery, select an excellent instrument. But the question is not in just the quality of service to the Steinway factory, dealers and distributors can provide, but whether you can receive the same service and warranty from Steinway dealers. The answer is both yes and no. Some yes, some no. Actually offers some Rebuilder longer warranties on parts like the soundboard than Steinway and Sons factory or Steinway Galleries so no loss there. And many of these places have had years of reputable service that is comparable to the best of the Steinway dealers, so there is nothing problem there. There is one caveat, however. And it is that you may know and understand the dealer they buy from the piano. Unfortunately, in the piano business, like many other industries, there are those who make a living from praying on ignorance of the masses. There are pianos that have been restored, wrong, wrong, and will not have the correct sound or touch, that Steinway pianos are so well known for. So the easiest way to qualify a vendor by rebuilding Steinway pianos is to find out whether the restoration was carried by a certified Steinway technician, and then find out where pianos are restored yesterday. For example, many of our pianos, restored by the same technician who restored Steinway Concert D used in Lincoln Center, New York City. One of the most prestigious concert halls in the world. From there it's easy to see that you can not go wrong. But even if they are not of this caliber, certain to have a qualified technician examine and understand the background for the instrument you are considering, as well as collateral and guarantees either implicit or explicit with the purchase. After all, a Steinway Piano is not a small purchase for most, and should be done with extreme caution. American-Steinway Piano models
Returning to the question about the price, you will discover that there is a big difference in price between buying a brand new Steinway Model B for example, and a restored Steinway Model B from one of the most reputable dealers. At the time of this writing new Steinway B lists for around U.S. $ 68.000 from most galleries but a restored Steinway B of the same quality and warranty may be as low as $ 45.000 or even less! (Check http://american-steinway.com/steinway-b-1917-ebony/ or http://american-steinway.com/steinway-b-1897-ebony/) On the largest of grand pianos, Steinway Model D piano, the difference between the modified and new piano is often $ 40.000 or more. Recent Steinway D that we listed (http://american-steinway.com/steinway-d-1929-ebony) is $ 79.000 as opposed to a new Steinway Model D piano, showing for approximately $ 120,000. Each Steinway model D are listed around that price, and all of them have been restored to original sound, color, beauty and touch of the last Steinway Piano from the factory floor. Naturally, the price differences are not just there for Model B Steinway Pianos either. In each grand piano model, you will find a significant savings. But savings are not just stop there. Many older pianos have a tone and feel that is more smooth and perfected over time. It may seem strange to some but it is because of the thinking to buy a piano like buying a car. A piano is not like a car as it depreciates with age, but rather that it understands and can improve with age and as a fiddle or another string instrument, the wood may deepen in tone and depth over time and create a really nice sound that is timeless. A final word about price. Steinway and Sons will tell you that pianos will appreciate over time. This is true. But the appreciation is not just the piano of "antique" value of the instrument. It is also because the instruments manufactured by Steinway becomes more expensive each year. This alone creates a wonderful opportunity for both buyer and seller of a rebuilt piano to enjoy the benefits of not buying new. So ultimately, the solution is simple – there really is no "new" or not "new". Be sure consider reliable sources such www.pianomart.com, www.american-steinway.com and other top negotiators to remove the risk of being caught with a broken string. Your rebuilt piano waiting for you. Do not let the idea of "new" trick you to get smaller piano for more – have a timeless Steinway piano for less!
