What is Piano Price Point? Piano information that has been gathered and sorted into price ranges, also known as price points. Simply, Piano Price Point is a free online comparative look at all makes and models of new acoustic pianos on the market today. Read About Us FEATURED ARTICLEToday’s topic is the rim of the piano. The rim is the outer wooden frame surrounding the soundboard. Generally, it is thought of as a rigid, reflective surface to bounce the sound waves back again into the soundboard, similar to that of the sea wall. If you were to liken this to a drum, the skin would be the piano soundboard, freely oscillating and held firm at the perimeter by the drum rim and shell. But much of the character and the body of the tone come from the rim and the skin under compression.

The MSRP is the “List Price” of a piano. This is not the sale price of the piano but rather, the highest price the piano will be listed at. Often, stores may discount pianos heavily and so it is a good idea to shop locally to find what price a piano may be purchased for.

Why? I have nothing against Yamaha. It’s because like many companies as of late, small piano makers are sold to larger ones and they’re dissolved into bigger corporations and it soon becomes merely a name on the front of a piano. The history, the heritage, the piano making expertise are lost and ...Read MoreCurrent Market Piano TrendsHave you walked into any piano store lately? It’s a sea of black and shiny? Why is that? Since the development of polyurethane resins (circa 1970), that mirror piano finish has become synonymous with ‘modern piano’ and has won out in popularity far above any other ‘look’. From a finishing perspective, making that incredible shine requires skill and knowledge and proper facilities. The only problem is... shiny doesn’t necessarily mean good. Consumers however seem to ...Read MoreInterview with Norbert Abel – Abel HammerBehind the scenes in the piano business it's a very small world. You won't last but 10 minutes before you hear something about Abel hammers. Hammer heads - the felt that strikes the strings on a piano are in my mind the most critical foundation of tone. Abel is world reknown specializing in hammer manufacturing. It was my pleasure to meet Norbert Abel last month and have him shed some light on the piano hammer ...Read MoreRenner Piano Parts Manufacturing“World War II – July, 1944 ~ 71 years ago almost to the day, 85% of the Renner factory was destroyed. Wilhelm Megenhardt, then 70 years of age simply replied ‘We’ll just build it up again’. He continued working until 85 years of age after Renner had become a leading producer of piano parts. He was my grandfather.” Glen Barkman: It was a delight and privilege to sit with Clemens von Arnim (pictured left) and ...Read MorePiano Sizes ~ What Should I Buy?I’ve heard this statement many times “I don’t want a concert grand, I’m looking for more of a baby grand”. To many, this is a completely normal statement. For those who have been around pianos, the translation is more like this: I’m not interested in a limousine, I’m looking for a subcompact car”. I believe that there is a lack of knowledge why the former statement is prevalent. People either see a massive piano on ...Read MorePiano AppearancePianos look great in showrooms don’t they? Why is it then that even the nicest pianos quite often look tired in private homes? The answer is not to play or touch the piano. Au contraire, pianos are made for music and to be played! Quite frankly, I believe it’s due to the fact that there aren’t parameters set around piano care. Having had a busy household with three of my own children growing up around ...Read MoreSee All of the ArticlesFind a Piano Technician In Your AreaPiano Advertisement SpiesEspionageMorse CodeGetaway CarHeadquartersMission AccomplishedBullfrog BluesIn Such a Flap!With Cherries On TopChicagoRiff Raff BluesJust In TimeLuck o' the IrishFrench MusetteMexican MoonTurkish CoffeeSpanish GuitarpianoHQ.comListen and PreviewDownload and PrintMusic for the Young @ Heart SpiesEspionageMorse CodeGetaway CarHeadquartersMission AccomplishedBullfrog BluesIn Such a Flap!With Cherries On TopChicagoRiff Raff BluesJust In TimeLuck o' the IrishFrench MusetteMexican MoonTurkish CoffeeSpanish GuitarpianoHQ.comListen and PreviewDownload and PrintMusic for the Young @ Heart SEARCH NEW PIANOS BY BRANDIf you’re looking for the lineup of current models from a particular brand, simply click on the corresponding logo below.
