At a time when piano manufacturers are implementing historically high price increases, there has never been a better time to consider the purchase of a nearly new or restored piano.
With price increases of between 10% - 20% on Steinway pianos this year, the future value of all existing Steinway pianos is significantly affected. Therefore, if you are wanting to own a beautiful Steinway upright or grand piano, the arguments for purchasing a used model over a new one, are extremely powerful and compelling:
- Increased cost saving: The most obvious benefit of purchasing a used Steinway is cost saving. Steinway pianos are renowned for their investment potential, but for now, the value of a nearly new or restored Steinway will not have increased relative to the recent price increase of new Steinways.
- Investment potential: The investment potential of a used Steinway will be just as good as a new one. With new pianos, a significant part of the cost is VAT, however with many used pianos, this is not the case.
- An instrument at its optimal potential: With a nearly new Steinway & Sons piano, say between 10-20 years old, the piano is probably just reaching its optimum potential. Like a fine wine, it can take some time for a premium piano to be at its absolute best. With a restored piano, it is often the case that it will have had new action parts, hammers, strings and felts. In this instance, the piano will feel like a new instrument and will have been given a whole new lease of life.
- Peace of mind: All of our pre-owned Steinway pianos come with a 5 year guarantee.
