At the beginning of the school year / When a child enters music school, parents are confused about What kind of piano to buy for a child for music school?
It is really not necessary to buy the most expensive piano for a beginner, but it is important that it is of good quality, because if a child has problems with the instrument from the beginning, this will deter him from playing the piano and practicing.
Piano, Upright Piano, Electric Piano or Hybrid?
For elementary music school, parents mostly decide to buy (or rent) an UPRIGHT or an ELECTRIC PIANO – here we must note that the professors of piano do not recommend electric pianos for beginners, because despite the extremely advanced technologies, key weights and real piano sound reproduction, the feeling and sound are still not the same as the acoustic piano, so before buying it, we advise you to consult with the chosen professor or. piano teacher.
With a large offer on the market, the question still arises, what to choose? How to choose the right piano when you are not playing the piano yourself?
There are several factors that influence the choice of the right instrument.
– Acoustic, digital or a mixture of both – a hybrid?
– Which brand to choose?
– Where can we put it?
– Size?
– Color?
– New or used?
– What about the price? Buy or rent?
To help you answer the above questions, we invite you to read our post at the link HERE.
When buying a piano for a beginner, it is really difficult to choose which piano is right for you, because a child does not yet know how to play the piano while in the early stages of learning, so we recommend that you bring a piano teacher or someone who knows how to play well so that you can hear what sounds better for you. In our experience, professors are very happy to respond to invitations from parents or they advise you. The advice of experts who follow changes in the piano market, how pianos are designed and manufactured and what they cost is also very important – with more than 30 years of experience in the piano industry, Ivanka and Jože Benda, directors of Benton Piano Salon are always happy to advise you.
There are several options for providing your child with a quality instrument that he can practice at home whenever he wants:
PIANO RENTAL – For beginners, one of the best options is to rent a piano (new). This way you will have a new piano at home without spending the family budget. Renting a piano also gives you the opportunity to find out if the piano is the right instrument for your child. You can buy the piano after the expiration of the lease (where the rent is taken into account for 9 months) or extend the lease. However, if it turns out that the child’s desire to play the piano has passed, you return it.

PURCHASING A PIANO – Buying a new piano is not really cheap, but it is definitely an investment that will last in your family for decades. Based on long-term business partnerships, Benton d.o.o. we guarantee the lowest prices of upright and grand pianos in Slovenia. Our suppliers are our long-standing business partners.

PURCHASE OF AN ELECTRIC PIANO – the purchase of an electric piano is more affordable than the purchase of a piano, it also does not require regular services. However, compared to the classical piano, they lose value faster, as their lifespan is much shorter and the models change quickly due to the constant development of technology. So if you are thinking about buying an electric piano for a beginner, we definitely recommend that you take the one that is the best approximation to a classical piano – has weighted keys, with dynamics and 88 keys.

BUYING A USED PIANO – The prices of used upright pianos and grand pianos are sometimes very tempting, especially for those who do not have a high budget. However, you need to be very careful when buying any used instrument, as a cheap purchase can cost us quite dearly. In addition to relocation and service costs, the materials may already be worn out so that the tuning will no longer hold (the piano must hold the tuning for about a year under appropriate conditions and normal use). Before purchasing, we advise you to inspect the instrument by an independent piano technician. Read more about what to look for when buying used instruments HERE.
