The decision of which piano to buy for you can be difficult. But buying a piano as a gift for a loved one or friend can be even mores daunting. This is especially true if the recipient is an advanced player who might have very specific preferences in an instrument. Here at Northwest Pianos we are very sensitive to these issues and have strategies to help our customers navigate them.
When you visit us just let us know if you are buying for someone else. We have a list of questions that will help us to recommend a piano that you can be confident your recipient will love. We can also help with arranging delivery if you want the piano to be a surprise. We can even arrange for the piano to arrive with a big red bow on it.
For many pianists—beginner, intermediate or advanced—the holiday season brings a mix of joy and pressure: guests come, schedules shift, practice time can drop. But with a little intentionality, you can use this period as a springboard rather than a pitfall.
When it comes to selecting, caring for, or upgrading a piano, brand heritage and construction quality play a huge role. Here we take a look at two major names in the field: Yamaha and Hailun.
There’s a subtle shift that happens in homes as we move from the rich tones of autumn into the sparkle of December. Your piano space doesn’t have to stay static—it can evolve with the season.
