Has anyone bought a secondhand piano before? Any experiences to share?
Thanks.

Usually one piano does for both hands, but if you want to show off!

Sorry the question sounds ambiguous. Here it goes again:

Has anyone bought a used piano in Oz before? Any experiences/advice to share?

Thanks again.

I bought one at an auction about 6 months ago - dont ask me why, I have no bloody idea! LOL. Its old & weighs a ton (literally!), needs tuning & 2 keys dont work very well, but, apart from one very small part on the top where the veneer has started to lift slightly, overall its in pretty good nick & the kids enjoy belting around on it occasionally.

Ohhh & I paid $80 for it, but Im guessing you would be looking for something a bit better for someone who knows what they are talking about .

As in the UK - you get what you pay for and need to find a reputable dealer who knows what they are talking about!

In my experience, the older the piano - the more tuning it needs on a regular basis, and certain keys just do not respond well - theres nearly always at least one

Depending on where in Australia you end up - obviously need to research that area for 'good dealers' etc.

When you do look - hope you find something that meets your 'criteria'.
