Normal people that wants to buy a piano and looking for advice. And it just came to my attention that in this forum, there are usually three kinds of people. Let me just say that I am not here to make enemies. Steinway is trashed early and often so opinions on less discussed matters from a pianist's perspective would be very valuable. You can also be assured that Steinway holds no sacred ground on PW. We all appreciate passion around here and we all know people have different vested interests but are the plenty of venues to promote products on PW. May I gently suggest that it is enough to make your commercial interests known in the byline on your thread and not in the body of your posts. Welcome to PianoWorld- always good to hear a pianists perspective. I have written a piano buying guide on my website where I compare each brand to a car brand:

Stay away from them as well.Īt your price range (mid to high 3000's), I would try to get a used Yamaha U series, or even a Pearl River. Kohler Campbell are very very poorly made instruments, trust me. The Essex is not an inexpensive Steinway.
