Hi everyone!

I have settled on the 15-year old Challen.

But would like to share that it was assembled in Malaysia, not uk.

Apparently licensed to be manufactured in Malaysia

My opinion is to never rely on just a photo and name when choosing a piano; the Challen is likely to be a Chinese export, and will sound nothing like an original Challen. Best to play both pianos and compare, or get a piano technician to check out the condition/ performance of each instrument. If y...

Yup! Engaged a technician to help me along!

Btw, Challen uses langer action? Any idea?

Thanks.

Thanks Bill!

Given its age, it is likely that the owner and/ex-owner(s) have hade repairs or overhaul to the piano?

I'm deciding between a 15 year old Challen (Malaysia made?) and this; both same price. What would be your opinion if I may ask?

Hi,

Any experts out there who's able to tell me how old this piano is? Pics attached, thanks!

Hi,

Should I be getting a 15 year-old Challen (Made in Malaysia since 1996?) or a much older Louis Renner Stuttggart that's probably been re-furbished (but not sure to what extend)?

Any opinion?
