The vast majority of consumers will first consider brand-name pianos when buying pianos without knowing much about the piano market, because brand-name pianos mean reliable piano quality, good stability, the highest cost performance in the same level and high market price transparency, or choose brands that have heard a lot, because consumers who don't know piano brands will think that hearing a lot is a good brand. At present, piano dealers in the market all claim that the pianos they sell are "famous brands", "world famous brands", "German famous brands" and "domestic famous brands". Anyone with a little brain will realize that it is impossible for all pianos to be famous brands. After all, there are few famous pianos. The decades-long piano sales market in foreign countries has proved that from the initial dozens or even hundreds of piano brands, there are only a few piano brands left, and so is the China market. Which pianos are really famous brands?
A famous piano must at least meet the following conditions:
A long history of production
Piano is composed of more than 9000 parts, which is a highly organic combination of equipment, materials and manufacturing technology. The manufacturing process is very complicated, with high technical requirements and strict material selection. It is not as simple as producing a good piano on an advanced production line. Objectively, there is a long-term process of production process accumulation and running-in. A long production history means that the production process is more mature and stable, and the quality of the products produced is more reliable.
The production scale is relatively large, and it has a high market share in pianos of the same grade.
The high market share means that its piano has gone through long-term fierce market competition, its quality has passed the rigorous test of the market, and its reliability and stability have won the trust of consumers.
Third, the market pricing is reasonable and the price transparency is relatively high.
Brand-name pianos have large production scale, large sales volume and standardized market management, so the price of pianos is often uniform, reasonable and stable, and there are no phenomena such as profiteering and outrageous price fluctuations at the end of the storm.
Consumers should also note that brand-name pianos are also graded, and brand-name pianos of different grades and grades are not comparable. For example, the Pearl River piano is a better brand-name piano among the popular pianos, but it can't be compared with higher-level famous pianos such as Bernstein, Steinway, Bolansler and Schumer in Germany.
At present, the common pianos that meet the requirements of famous brands in the domestic market are:
The world's top piano: Brassler Brutner (Germany) Burchstein C. Beckstein (Germany) Steinway Steinway &; Sons (USA) Schimmel Schumer (Germany) Bosendorfer (Austria) Facio Li Fazioli (Italy) Petrof (Czech Republic) European brand production history exceeds 150, and the quality is relatively more guaranteed!
Mid-range popular pianos: Yamaha (Hamamatsu, Indonesia, Xiaoshan, Hangzhou), Pearl River (Guangzhou, China), Sanyi (Indonesia), Xinghai (Beijing, China) and Pearl River (China) all have a production history of more than 50 years, among which Pearl River is the largest piano manufacturer in the world. (For details, please refer to the world piano quality ranking. )
Note: There are many brands in the domestic piano market, so try to avoid the recommendation of piano teachers. Teachers know how to teach students well, but they don't know much about the quality of piano brands. Therefore, some piano teachers with poor quality will recommend parents to buy inferior brand pianos, saying that the tone is good (stating that they will never buy the brand you recommend for their own use). To put it bluntly, they are actually colluding with the music store, taking thousands or even tens of thousands of kickbacks and recommending parents to buy brand pianos against their conscience!
At present, the domestic piano forum is quite popular. Registered forums are all piano manufacturers or agents of their own brands to answer questions raised by consumers. In most cases, it is (recommending the brand that you represent to belittle the brand that you are not an agent), and even some moderators of piano brands join the forum to conduct false online propaganda and deceive commercial speculation. Please be vigilant and beware of being misled! Buying a piano is risky, so be careful! ! ! Don't be blindly influenced by products of the same brand as the piano. Learn more about the history of piano brands and the material selection, workmanship and technology of internal movements to ensure that you can buy high-quality brand pianos at reasonable prices!
