Pianos do NOT get better with time! Pianos are best when they are manufactured. Over the course of 6-7 decades they become valueless and inadequate music instruments. This is due to the fact that pianos are under extreme high tension. Unlike a violin or cello, which can last several hundred years because it is under low tension; pianos are under a constant 40,000-50,000 pounds of tension.

Just like the top of a violin is curved for tonal projection, so too is the soundboard in a piano. The tremendous down force caused by tightening the strings to pitch slowly causes the soundboard to go flat. This loss of crown translates to a up to 2/3 dB loss at decade 6-7.

In other words pianos start with 100% tonal projection and finishes with just a third. Or said another way, pianos get much quieter with time. It is for this reason piano shoppers in Tampa Bay, Clearwater, St Pete and beyond should focus on a preowned piano from the 1990s or preferably the 2000s like the one featured here.

New this piano sold for just under $7,000. At just $3,450 including local, ground floor delivery to Tampa, Clearwater, St. Pete and the surrounding areas, this is a terrific value!

If you are shopping for a new or quality preowned piano in Tampa Bay, call Dave to schedule your visit at one of his convenient locations today!

Steinway wanted to offer their dealers an affordable alternative to a pricey Steinway upright piano. With the idea of creating a piano brand called “Boston” Steinway understood they needed to rely upon a proven piano manufacturer, with a respected name in the marketplace. Since 1927 Kawai earned a well-deserved reputation for constructing some of the world’s finest pianos, in Japan. It is easy to understand why Steinway chose Kawai in 1992 to build their Boston line of pianos.

Japanese workmanship is synonymous with precise execution and attention to the most minute detail. While Boston pianos are naturally equivalent to their Kawai counterparts, Boston pianos tend to be more expensive than Kawai. This is due to the fact that there is an additional layer of markup, as Kawai does not build the Boston pianos out of the kindness of their heart. Kawai charges Steinway a sizable premium to construct the Boston. This additional layer of markup must then be passed on to the consumer.

A new Boston studio piano of this size retails for just under $10,000. At just $5,990 this is an incredible opportunity for someone to own a fine Japanese instrument for a small fraction of the new cost. If you are searching for a Yamaha U1, Yamaha U3, Kawai K300, Steinway upright piano, in the greater Tampa Bay area, you should certainly put this piano on your must-see list!
