Schonbrunn is house brand belongs and manufactured by Parsons Music (HQ - HongKong) and is one of few good piano makers in China.

Another good brand is Hailun. It's name after the original founder Chen, Hailun. It is an award winning piano maker and a premium built quality piano from China WON The PIANO LINE OF THE YEAR AWARD 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2017 by MMR - USA. In addition, the only Chinese piano to be in the MMR's Hall of fame in 2015. And, rated by pianobuyer.com as Professional / Premium category - piano equal if not surpasses the quality of Japanese pianos.

End of the day, try as many pianos that you can find in your area. Every piano is different in it's tone and touch. And, more important, everyone has it's own preference of tone.

CHOOSE the piano you like better and enjoy.

If you have the space and budget for it, grand pianos are always a welcome choice. If not, upright piano will suffice as well.

As to how good a piano is, its a personal choice IMO. You will need to test out the sound and the key feel etc yourself at the shop to find something that suits you. I've been using a Yamaha upright for the past 20+ years but can also recommend Kawai or Steinway too as I've personally played on them before.

I own a Schonbrunn XO-132 for the past 2 years. The sound is rich and lovely. An absolutely gorgeous piano in my opinion. Very worth the price for a brand new full size tall upright, as compared with a new Japan made, full sized upright which will most likely cost a bomb. Best to maintain with piano heater and keep up with the regular tuning schedule. Brand was established in German, now made in Yichang, China, hence the reasonable pricing. Not difficult to find in many specialized piano stores in Malaysia.
