Hi, may i get some opinions? I am looking for a piano with budget around RM20k. Below are some of my plans.
1) new kawai ND21
2) new yamaha U1J
3) used kawai baby grand
4) used yamaha U3

Or are there better choices other than as mentioned? Tqvm

Hi JHP, thx for ur info.
If u were i, wat will u buy with around rm20k?
Thx in advanced

go for baby grand if you have space..nothing beats the sound of a grand piano

kawai anytime...Yamaha must check if dibuat di jepun atau indon

err... does that mean kawai also must check if is dibuat jepun or indonesia!!!!

IMHO, there are diff in quality between jepun and indonesia, including china. as production cost increases somebody got to look for a new location that can produce with lower production costs that will allow them to be competitive in the market.

is just how piano industry shift to asia in the past. if not because of japanese, piano will still consider to be a rich man toy.. japanese invasion 50-60s, followed by korea in the 80-90s.. the raising cost of korea in 90s moved production to indonesia and china. then 2000s new economic emergence of china resulted in a new wave of low-priced (affordable pianos).

situation in china is also rapidly improving as the chinese become accustomed to western ways of doing business and both technical and musical qualities have taken big leaps forward due to their aggressive mentality in acquiring piano making knowledge with the western and also understand what is quality and have been more focused on quality control.
