2.  Buy the best piano you get for your budget.  Before you buy a used spinet piano, look for the best prices available on a new console piano.  For a little bit more money, you can have a brand new piano with a 10 year warranty. 

 

3.  Be wary of Internet sales.  The service add-ons that come with buying from your hometown music stores could be very beneficial down the road.  Many stores have tuning and trade-up policies that cannot be matched by Internet stores.

 

4.  Have a piano you want to trade in?  Let your salesman know up front so he/she can give you the best possible trade in value. 

 

5.  Bring in a furniture sample or fabric sample to find the best finish for your home.  It makes choosing the wood finish a much less stressful process.

 

6.  Bring your favorite piano book or sheet music from home. Playing your favorite songs will help you determine whether the piano has the right sound for you.

 

7.  Also, playing your favorite songs will help you decide if you're comfortable at the piano of your choice. 

 

8.  If you don't see what you're looking for, ask.  Many times stores will have pianos hiding in the back, upstairs, around the corner, etc.,  that are not easily seen.
