Over the years, we have had customers come back to us describing some of the "less-than-true" statements that they were told by other sources. Please be sure to do your homework and realize that the salesman that wants you to buy RIGHT NOW may not have your best interest in mind. Some of the really ridiculous things we have heard about are:
(including the two newest ridiculous statements our customers have heard:)
#1 "Young Chang is going out of business!" - Absolutely not true. Young Chang is one of the largest piano manufacturers in the world. They have recently gone through some corporation realignment and buy-ins, but the manufacturing of the Young Chang pianos will not change, nor will the quality, warranties, or dealerships change. More specific information will be available soon.
#2 "Bucks County Piano is losing the Schimmel line of pianos!" - Absolutely not true. For some reason, a local piano dealer was spreading the rumor that we will not be the area's Schimmel dealer. Both we and Schimmel demanded that they stop, and so far, they have. Our Schimmel piano sales have grown each year, and we were rewarded by being one of the first dealers in the country to show the new "Vogel by Schimmel" line of pianos. We have very competitive prices. You might want to stop by and see just how low our prices are and just how high our quality standards are.
"Nothing good ever comes out of Korea!"
- Absolutely not true. The Korean manufacturing methods
and high-quality products have set standards throughout the world.
Young Chang has been making pianos since 1956 and has won numerous awards
and honors for their piano-making achievements. (They received the
Japanese Industrial Standard Award and are ISO 9001 approved). Also,
if Korean pianos were so bad, why would Steinway contract Young Chang to
make their
newest
line of Steinway pianos?
"Joseph Pramberger was nothing but a glorified janitor at Steinway!" - Absolutely not true. Young Chang is very proud to have Joseph Pramberger refining and innovating the future of their tremendous pianos. At Steinway he was Design and Project Engineer and Vice President of Manufacturing and Chairman of ITEG. His 29 years with Steinway included many Master Craftsman refinements to the Steinway line of pianos including the patented bushing for piano actions. He is, by the way, the son of Steinway pattern maker Anton Pramberger. His skills and achievements are truly remarkable with both piano manufacturers: Steinway and Young Chang.
"If you don't buy this "XXXXX" brand of piano
(a name you have heard of) you are going to buy junk! - NOT
TRUE!!
How often in your life have you shopped for a
piano? You probably don't know most of the names. You probably
don't know what makes a really good piano - really good. Please investigate,
ask questions, find out. Don't just rely on one salesman, or one
name you've heard about because of another product that they make.
Keep in mind - almost all manufacturers
make several quality levels of pianos. Are you getting the best piano
for your dollar? Are you getting the best piano that they make?
Sure, that piano-maker might make a very good piano, but are you buying
that one, or are you being sold a knock-off or a lesser quality version?
So therefore our recommendation is - ASK!
(Have you heard any other real "whoppers" from sales people? Let us know!)
A Quick Note About Location and Shipping
We like to take pride in our tremendous piano
service. This means we have to limit the region in which we can responsibly
sell and care for our pianos. We therefore will not be able
to sell or service our pianos or digital pianos outside of the area, because
of this strong commitment to service and detail. So, if you are looking
to buy from a distance or are looking for shipping or pricing information
from outside of our region, we will not be able to help you. We are
sorry for this inconvenience, but we feel that we can better serve our
local customers this way.
You might want to question a dealer that is happy
to sell pianos all across the country. Service?
(We will still be happy to help you with any
questions you might have about pianos)
With normal use, all pianos should be tuned no less than once a year. Pianos that are not played often or not at all also need to be tuned, no less than once a year, even if they sound OK. An instrument that gets a lot of use should be tuned more often.Top of PageA piano in under great tension (about 40,000 pounds of pressure). Seasonal changes, humidity, temperature, room environment, moving the piano, time, and stressful playing all affect the wood that makes up most of your piano (especially the soundboard). A professional tuning not only puts the individual strings in tune, but resets the stresses of your piano to the correct proportions. Many years of neglect can actually damage the instrument you would like to pass down to the next generation.
A good technician can also discover the reasons behind some of those little annoyances you might be having (sticking keys, squeaking and clicking sounds, a dull or tubby string response, etc.). If you have made the investment in a good piano, you might as well get the best sound from it that it can give.
Bucks County Piano's owner is an expert technician. All phases of the stores piano business start from the viewpoint of "making the piano sound the absolute best that it can." All of our piano technicians and tuners are of the highest training, capability, and experience.
