  Most people will be restricted by their budget to really only purchase used pianos for sale as opposed to new ones. The price of a used Steinway Piano for sample is extremely less than a new one. Many time you will see baby grand and grand pianos that are hand-made and used for less than a new Asian upright piano. But when it comes to finding used pianos for sale, you need to make sure that you buy something that is going to be in good shape. You do not want to get stuck with a piano that will cost thousands extras in repairs.
  
  When it comes to Asian production pianos you will want to buy one of these new, as they won't last for much more than a decade. It's a classic example of buying something cheap; you get what you pay for. The wood frames on these pianos are most commonly particle board and the actions are mostly made of plastic rather than wood. No asian production pianos - other than a few Yamahas - are going to be made with real wood. Particle board is a cheap wood product that is fused together using scraps of wood. It is incredibly heavy and dense and won't make for a better sounding piano. Action parts made of plastic will not last as long as ones made of wood and the tone of these parts actually has more treble than traditional wood action parts.
  
  If you have a choice, you will want to look for a used American or European piano that is hand-made. As antique pianos for sale these instruments can fetch a very good price. They will be in the low thousands to the mid tens of thousands but they will never get out of control in price. A new piano will cost upwards of $100,000 but a used one of the same model could only be $20,000 or less. The only thing you will want to make sure of is that the piano is in good condition when you buy it. If you get stuck with repairs it could be thousands of dollars you didn't plan on spending. Some repairs can even be so expensive it's not worth even fixing it. Always make sure that you get a piano technician or tuner to check out the instrument before you buy it.
  
  Absolutely the one thing you must make sure is in good condition on the piano is the sound board. The soundboard is the thin piece of wood that sits between the plate and the ribs of the piano. It is placed in the frame of the piano and actually produces an arched crown. The sound and tone of the piano is produced mainly by the sound board of the instrument. Having the sound board in bad condition means that the tone and sound of the piano will suffer immensely, and forget about replacing it, the cost is tens of thousands of dollars.
  
  There are plenty of great sites and retailers around that can offer used pianos for sale that are of very high quality and incredibly affordable when compared to their new counterparts. Nothing is better than getting a hand-made instrument and you will instantly see and feel why these pianos are so highly desired and sought after.
