How to buy a Piano: Part 3

In this post on how to buy a piano, I will mention how to find one, advice on having an acoustic piano moved, and additional resources.

Newspaper ads and Craigslist (a website where local ads are posted) are good places to find used acoustic pianos in your local area. Your local piano store will also probably have some used pianos for sale. You will most likely have to buy a new digital piano to get a specific brand and model. Your local store should have a wide selection of digital pianos. You can also order a digital piano online if you can't find what you want locally.

If you buy an acoustic piano, you will then have to figure out the logistics of having it moved. You don't want just anybody moving a piano. You'll want to find a company that knows how to move a piano and lists it as one of their services. Otherwise, your piano might get damaged being moved by someone who doesn't know what to do.

This concludes my advice on searching for and buying a piano.  If you want to know more, Piano Buyer is a good resource for information on new and used pianos.  The Piano Book by Larry Fine is a another good resource for information on what to look for in a used piano, the different piano companies, how a piano works and more.  If you have any questions for me, you are welcome to contact me through the contact box on the side or in the comments below.
