Beckstein or Steinway. Take your pick

Different pianos have different action, touch, tone etc. This is also true (to an extent) of individual Pianos made by the same manufacturer.



My personal favourite is Yamaha. Their Pianos are very bright without being tinny or metallic, and the touch is very responsive.



But it's all very subjective. You may prefer a warmer or more mellow tone. You may prefer a heavier touch. Your requirements on size, shape, colour etc may be specific.



The best thing to do is go and try a few. See what you like. Try out some older pianos as well as new. You'll soon become accustomed to the different characteristics and then you make a more informed decision.

Steinway for restored older pianos, like the concert grands before 1965. Otherwise. Bosendorfer

I'm surprised no one mentioned Schimmel. They action on the keys is unmatched, not even by Bosendorfer. It has a lovely tone also.



After that I'd go for Steinway, Bosendorfer, K. Kawai, etc. I've played on so many pianos it's hard to keep track of them.

BOSENDORFER. These are the most expensive and probably the best. However many pianists prefer the tone of some of the old German pianos such as BLUTHNER, BECHSTEIN, and STEINWAY. There are some very good pianos from the far east notably YAMAHA and KAWAI. But this is just scratching the surface, good pianos are manufactured in U.S.A. (BALDWIN) France, the Czech Republic (PETROF)

In the U.K. Look up BROADWOOD and BRINSMEAD.

I don't know the exact figures, but something like 90% of the world's leading pianists choose Steinway. There is a German Steinway and a New York Steinway. (The German is shiny) Different people prefer one or the other. Myself, I love the New York, although I am usually delighted when I am on tour and play the German.

Steinways are amazing, but SO expensive. I wish I had one... If you don't have that much money, a Yamaha is a great choice. They're affordable and have a pretty good sound quality.

Steinway. All it takes is sitting at one for 5 minutes to know that there can be no better instrument in the world :)

Expensive = Steinway. Moderate but very good value for money and sound quality = Yamaha.

If it's a digital piano you're after I'd say yamaha, they're affordable and produce a reasonably pleasing natural sound.

Steinway or Fazioli if you've got the money.

If not Yamaha or Kawai are o.k.(if they are made in USA or Japan).
