Hyundai pianos
Does anyone have any information on the Hyundai model U832? I have played one and was impressed by both it's power and bell-like treble. Someone said it was a poor man's Yamaha U3. Agree?
Not familiar with Hyundai's model designations, but how tall and how old is it?
I didn't think Hyundai were still being imported. A 1980s/'90s one is a competent piano, although no better in quality than today's average Chinese offering. The best Chinese pianos will trounce one.
Korean piano designs did tend to be imitations of Japanese ones, Young Chang in particular were guilty of this, but the resulting playing experience and tone quality were nothing like the items they aspired to, so it may look like a poor man's U3, but it sure won't sound like it!

If it was your cup of tea, go for it.
Build quality is OK, tuning pins can sometimes be a challenge for the tuner, but other than that, no real issues. Should be cheap though. Don't pay more than say 1800 quid inc VAT, delivery and first tuning if it's in a dealer's. Offer no more than 1k private sale.
