#FAQ What to choose between a used electric piano and a new digital piano?

Misconception: a used digital piano is necessarily a good deal.

Not necessarily! But sometimes yes... Here are some answers:

On the one hand, a used digital piano is immediately cheaper than it was worth a few years ago! TRUE
On the other hand, we are now witnessing the phenomenon that affects all technological objects (computers, smartphones, etc.): new home prices are decreasing over time and performance is improving!
Beware of wear and tear : a second-hand piano was (I hope) played by the previous owner, which implies that the often plastic materials have suffered.

A common example: the keys emit an unpleasant noise, even when the piano is not plugged in. It is the rubbers (or rubbers) that are damaged and being a wear part, it is necessary to change the entire tape (under the entire keyboard). Another example: electronics can partially or completely stop working. Again, manufacturers recommend changing the entire electronic block concerned (and it is often the central unit of the piano :-( ) and when it is no longer under warranty, the price is often equivalent to a new piano! #Obsolescence programmed.

In conclusion, you must first look at your need and the price (so compare new model with used one). You can legitimately estimate whether the risk is worth (or not) the price difference.

As professionals, we offer for sale (and rental) used (guaranteed) and new (guaranteed longer) digital pianos, so you can make your choice freely!
