I went to Greene Music warehouse, compared some acoustic and electronic pianos, finally decided to buy an acoustic piano. They feel different even to me.
I end up buying the pre-owned Kawai 502T with $1300. But I got free delivery, books, and two free lessons. So the cost of the piano is about $1150. There was another 15 years old Kawai CX-5H by someone else asking for $2000. That is an entry level piano too.
This seller I bought from is a good musician, and his performance on the piano really stroke a chord to a musical layman like me. I kind of shy of bargaining with him. But very happy with the deal. I am looking forward to taking lessons from him.
Albeit 15 years old, this piano looks new and the cherry finish fits my home perfectly. Open the lid, the hammers strike the strings and the mufflers move correctly. Open the door beneath, there was some dust there. I dusted with Swiffer and vacuumed and the dust was gone. There was a small stain on the leaf and seller promised to take the leaf to clean it.
