The selection process

Our second-hand piano range consists exclusively of Japanese-made pianos that have passed through our careful selection process (detailed below) in order to ensure their suitability for musicians up to diploma level studies.

How do we select our pianos?

The first step was to build relationships with only the most trusted suppliers. To ensure that our expectations would be understood our head technician, Leo, has made several visits to our suppliers in Japan. When we are ready to import pianos, a selection process begins with the Japanese-based supplier gradually selecting pianos that fit our strict criteria. Our biggest supplier has more than 2,000 second-hand pianos in stock at any given time, and yet due to the standards we expect it can sometimes take us several months to select up to 30 pianos to import. Of course, we only take 'A' grade instruments across all categories. Once the pianos arrive in Melbourne, they are inspected again by our own technicians. At this point, if they are confirmed to offer great control through the keyboard and an exceptional tone, then they will receive our full 15-year warranty so that customers can feel confident and know that their investment is protected over the long-term compared to other second-hand or trade-in pianos.

When is a piano not good enough?

The most common examples of pianos that will fail at the first or second selection stages:

  1. Any pianos that have suffered extensive use in schools or institutions

  2. Pianos that have been neglected (leading to the action becoming stiff or the frame and pin-block adjusting to a lower tension)

  3. Pianos that have been subject to extreme changes in humidity

  4. If a piano simply has an unpleasant tone or uneven feel to the keyboard it will also fail at the second stage of our inspection process
