BENEFITS OF BUYING A SECOND-HAND PIANO

Buying a used piano in Barcelona represents a smart investment and an opportunity to obtain a high-quality instrument at a more affordable price. Below, we list some of the benefits of choosing a used piano:

Cost-effectiveness:
Used pianos offer excellent value for money. Jorquera Pianos carefully selects each piece, ensuring that the instrument has been well maintained. This allows you to access prestigious brands at a lower price than a new one, without compromising quality or sound.

In our workshop, each used piano undergoes an exhaustive restoration process, including an inspection of the soundboard, headstock, strings, and cabinet. This allows you to enjoy a practically new piano, with all the guarantees of performance and quality, and the technical service that is comparable to that of new pianos.

MAINTENANCE GUIDE FOR USED PIANOS

To keep a used piano in good condition, it’s important to follow certain specific care guidelines that will prolong its lifespan and ensure optimal sound. Here are some practical tips:

Regular Tuning:
It is recommended to tune your piano every six months, especially in the first few years after restoration, to maintain its proper tone. Changes in temperature and humidity can affect tuning, so consistent maintenance is key.
Humidity Control:
Pianos are sensitive to humidity. It is ideal to keep the instrument in a humidity-controlled environment (between 40% and 60%) to prevent warping of the wood. A humidifier or dehumidifier may be helpful, depending on the room’s conditions.
Furniture Care:
To preserve the furniture’s appearance, it is recommended to clean the piano with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning products that can damage the wood or varnish.

These precautions will ensure that your secondhand Barcelona piano retains both its appearance and sound performance for many years.
