Purchasing a piano—whether new or used—can be an overwhelming experience. Even accomplished pianists may not have the specialized knowledge needed to thoroughly evaluate a prospective instrument. Most pianists spend years mastering the art of playing the piano, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they understand the complex inner workings or structural condition of the instrument.

At Bangert Piano, our professional piano technicians have dedicated their careers to understanding every aspect of piano construction, performance, and longevity. We can identify potential structural or mechanical issues that may not be immediately apparent, even if a piano sounds good during a brief demonstration. Hidden problems can lead to costly repairs and significantly affect the instrument’s value and performance. Our pre-purchase evaluations provide the information you need to make a confident, informed decision before investing in a piano.

If you’re preparing to sell a piano, we can help with that as well. Whether you’re downsizing, relocating, settling an estate, or simply ready to part with an instrument, the technicians at Bangert Piano can professionally evaluate your piano and help you determine a fair and realistic asking price based on its condition, age, and market value.
