instruments and picking one from this illustrious list would be an excellent decision on the other hand below are some of the piano Brands you should avoid the piano Market in the United States has given room to a variety of Brands some of which are well known around the world however not all piano Brands give you the best of what you want furthermore there are many piano brands that you should avoid when purchasing a piano many customer reviews from different online forums have told us about some cheap piano brands especially from China South Korea and Russia that you should never buy you should be informed that unknown cheap models from various Chinese production houses are among the worst pianos to have in your music room specifically names such as Sonic Young Chang Mason rice and gold Branson are awful brands that you should avoid when shopping for a new piano the constructed quality and sound quality of these brands are the most disappointing aspects and when you play them you will hear a sound that is comparable to that of a toy piano and because they usually make their pianos out of cheap plastic they are always at risk of being damaged by a small bump nonetheless some users who are unaware of these models often choose them because of the large list of functions they provide however the majority of these qualities are false and they are just promoting them to entice buyers and even if it does manage to work it does so for only a few days the keys are essentially standard plastic with no sensitivity and no weighted function the output quality is the worst flaw and even with an amplifier the overall quality remains low but please note that we are not claiming that the piano Brands listed above are the worst or that they only make squeaky pianos that is not something we claim to be honest we've never put their pianos to the test this page is simply a compilation of several people's viewpoints we're only mentioning their review here for the sake of completeness so please don't take it personally this video is just a reminder that you should double check every piano you buy from those companies what about the best upright piano Brands though for decades upright piano brands have been overshadowed by grand pianos but we believe it's time to reconsider upright piano Brands were first introduced in 1805 and were called cottage piano knows because they took up less floor space by the end of the 1800s the upright piano Brands had made their way into most houses due to lower production costs and smaller footprint sizes and by the turn of the century the vertical piano had established itself as a space-saving alternative to the grand piano the soundboard and string plane of a upright piano run from 36 to 60 vertically perpendicular to the keyboard this takes up less floor space than a horizontal grand piano the following are some of the best one the bechstein C concert 8 and elegance 124 2. the bluthner's model S and B3 the bosendorfer's grand upright 130. 4.
