I've seen 2 in recent years and they appear to be ok. They were fairly new and hadn't been used much, but represent reasonable value.

New upright pianos

Post by kcep »

Thanks for your reply. I'm looking for new upright pianos. Apart fm Wihl Steinberg, I've also seen Schultz & Pollman 126 and Schimmel 120I. I'd been told German made pianos are better. Please advise.

Of the makes of pianos you mention Schimmel have been the best in my experience. They are made in West Germany.

How do prices compare? Generally speaking the more you pay the better the quality and therefore, reliability is better as better quality materials are used for the action (working mechanism) as well as a tidyer finish.
