If you want consistency and high resale value, these Japanese giants are the gold standard. They are widely recommended by technicians because parts are easy to find and their build quality is exceptionally durable. 5 Used Pianos You Should Consider Buying
The Ultimate Guide to the Best Used Piano Brands Buying a used piano is one of the smartest ways to get a high-quality instrument without the "new car" markup. While a brand-new grand can cost as much as a small house, the used market is filled with "workhorse" pianos that, if well-maintained, can last for 50 to 80 years.

I chose CAE to complete my ground school as I have sometimes struggled academically and felt that, to give myself the best chance, I should go to the best school. I haven't been disappointed. All of the instructors were excellent and were always happy to help me…I genuinely think that I would have done considerably less well in my exams if it hadn't been for CAE instructors. I could not speak more highly of them and would, and will, thoroughly recommend CAE as the best school.
