You’ve been lied to by the showroom.
Most people think that a higher price tag and a "prestigious" European name equal a better piano. As a piano technician with 20 years of experience, I can tell you that’s often a myth. I’ve seen $10,000 "heritage" pianos with the same internals as $6,000 budget models.
In this video, I’m naming the three brands that are charging you for the logo while cutting corners on the action, the sampling, and the build quality. I’ll show you exactly where manufacturers hide the flaws and—more importantly—what you should buy instead to get professional-grade performance without the luxury markup.
