Please look at this, and comment

Wraught with libran indecision, I keep changing my mind, wondering which piano to buy. The issue is the colour of the wood. Have a look...


Whether you are into pianos or not, do you like the colour and look of this piano?

Its the better more expensive model, Im getting a massive discount so it makes sense to buy it, but cant decide whether to buy it or not... because of its colour. I like it, but wanted a darker wood. Cant decide, need to decide today. So... comments on the photo please?

Eidted bceasue im not a awarrd wining speler.

depends on the colour of your room really but it's fine to me...sorry interior design not one of my strong points

[nervous]

doesnt look very big. i can offer you a tiny pianist to go with it though if it helps

[Incorrigible]

They're all only a shitty veneer

You're paying for the elctronics

It wouldn't bother me, as long as it sounded OK

My place is pretty average all round, nice appartment but rented, and interior design is not something that fusses me at this stage in life. I just want to buy a piano which erm... looks nice, and have always preferred dark woods. Talk me round chaps, I just cant decide

[KITT]

Nah. Piano's should be very dark wood/black really. Sorry.

[FourWheelDrift]

Would look better in black.

Question is:

Is it an absolute bargain??

If so then go for it, but if you're going to buy it then spend the next 6 months convincing yourself that it really is a bargain it is not for you.

Personally I would go for a Clavinova.

Bob - No!

This kind of veneer does look cheap even if it isn't.

Get black, or white. Timeless and classy.

Yep that without a doubt is a piano.

We need to see your curtains

ok chaps, bear this in mind.

There is no black, its 6500 new.
Im not buying second hand, im not buying an upright, this IS the model of digital piano I want.

So save confusion, there is only one other model I would consider. Its in a *SLIGHTLY* darker rosewood.

This one has a list price of £5600. Im getting it brand new, never used for £3500.

The difference between the two is small, but its comments like "No, dont like it" which put me off"

Hence, I cant decide

There is no black or white option, and this is the model I want. Am I being foolish buying this colour, bearing all that in mind, or should I opt for a slightly darker wood at the same price.

The slightly darker wood model has a list price of 4k (this has a polished mahogony finish, and real wooden keys)

I know a lot of people prefer uprights, but I wouldnt dream of buying one (neighbours plus reduced funtionaltiy) and as far as digital pianos go this is the best out there. Just cant decide on the bloody colour

[Incorrigible]

Buy the better piano

Would you have a white Bentley or a nice coloured VW

[Incorrigible]

By the way, are you replacing an old one ?? I'd be interested in it if you are

[Uriel]

The darker the better, but I'd have a hard time passing up the sorts of savings you'd be making by getting the 309. Though I suppose if they both sound the same, play the same and you're never going to sell it...

[stumartin]

Looks fine to me, although too many knobs and buttons for my liking - why can't they put in a dark glass 'screen' so you can shut it out when all you want is a piano.

Clavinova's are indeed very good in their sound, but the feel of a Roland (aye aye) is, or at least was, better.

Kesgrave Social Club have just phoned to say that “Les at the Lowery” has just cried off for Saturday night. Are you available?
