Let's talk about some mistakes that all people who buy pianos will make to a certain extent, and where these mistakes are and what kind of results will they have.
First, I thought it was easy to choose the piano. I simply looked it up on the Internet and went to the music store. I bought it with another one.
Because I only saw a musical instrument store at that time, I had a good chat with sales and bought it on impulse. When I went home to inquire, I found that the brands I bought may not be big brands, and these brands are difficult to return.
◆ Second, find a friend or a piano teacher to buy the same as a friend, and buy which one the piano teacher recommends.
It is the most common for teachers to take kickbacks in the whole industry. When they meet teachers with conscience who take kickbacks, they will buy brand pianos, but the price will be higher than the market price, and the other half of the brands brought by the teachers are exclusive agents, and other local businesses have no goods, so the quality is self-evident. In this way, the teacher may not be able to choose a good brand when he gets the commission, and he will still owe the teacher a favor.
◆ Third, after learning about a brand in the music store, check it online and see what others say.
Most musical instruments have an online marketing department. If you go to Baidu Post Bar and know to send some self-answering water posts or cooperate with the forum to promote your own brand, if you refer to such information completely, you will definitely fall into the layout of a certain business.
Fourthly, I want to buy a brand-name piano. I went to a big brand. Compared with the music store, I feel that it is not as good as selling the unknown brand recommended, and my heart begins to waver.
Some unscrupulous merchants and merchants without big brand agents will put a brand of piano in the store, make the timbre and feel of this brand of piano very poor through some means, and then make the timbre and feel of their main brand quite good through tuning and sorting, which gives people a psychological misleading, and finally leads to the poor performance and quality of the piano bought home.
◆ 5. The same brand model only pays attention to which business is the cheapest, and does not pay attention to whether the business is an agent.
Some unscrupulous merchants without agents will give customers very low prices and tell them to wait for the goods. If they pay the deposit, they will enter the waiting goods in the foreseeable future. In the process of waiting for the goods, the merchant will advise the customer to change the piano. If you really can't change the piano, give the customer a refund on the grounds of other problems. When comparing prices, you must also confirm whether the other party is an agent.
Sixth, I think imported pianos must be better than domestic pianos, no matter where they are imported.
Imported pianos are not necessarily better than domestic ones, mainly depending on the brand and origin. Some imported pianos are even made in bastien, and then exported and brought back, just for a customs declaration. In the end, what I bought at a high price may only be a domestic piano.
◆ 7. I can't tell the difference between pure domestic pianos with foreign names, original joint ventures and OEM joint ventures. I think all pianos with foreign names must be better than domestic pianos.
Foreign-made domestic pianos mean that foreign factories have closed down for many years or there are no foreign factories at all, but some history has been invented with a foreign name. There are two kinds of joint ventures, one is the original joint venture with its own independent factory in China (such as Yamaha), and the other is the OEM joint venture. As for how many original technologies there are in OEM, this question deserves our deep thought.
◆ Eight, I recognized some gimmicks of "luxury configuration" and bought the so-called top-level configuration piano.
Choosing a piano should not focus on configuration, but on brand. Steinway is a world-famous piano. Can Steinway's materials be produced by any piano factory? Moreover, most of the configurations are not completely authentic, and it is absolutely impossible to tell if it is not a professional.
Nine, think that the second-hand piano must be better than the new piano or the new piano must be better than the second-hand piano.
How to choose a new piano and a second-hand piano needs to be weighed according to your own needs, such as service life, performance and price. Different emphasis, different choices, no absolute.
◆ 10. The minimum price for buying a new piano is 10,000, and X Bao can buy it for four or five thousand.
Go to X Bao and spend four or five thousand dollars to buy a second-hand piano. As the buyer has just adjusted it, the piano is in excellent condition. After passing a heater, you will find that the buttons feel so loose that you can't even get up or press the buttons to make a sound. Because all the products bought at this price are the lowest imported from South Korea, it took more than ten years to get to China, and there was a climate difference. After heated pianos, they will become a mess, and then they will be repaired and changed circularly.
◆ XI。 I don't want to buy a piano for the time being after I go to see it. The sales said that the activity would end on XX, and if I didn't buy the discount, it would be gone.
Except Bo X, the so-called "activity prices" of all private musical instruments are actually controlled by the sellers themselves. As long as he wants to sell it to you, there are activities at any time and he can give it to you at the activity price at any time.
◆ 12. Pay more attention to discounts. Seeing that a certain brand can get a 60% discount or a 50% discount, I feel that it has given a great discount compared with other brands.
The higher the discount the brand can get, the higher the profit and the less transparent the price. For example, a brand in Indonesia can get a 15% discount normally, people who can bargain better can get a 60% discount, and those who can't bargain can get a 15% discount. A 50 thousand piano, a discount of 2.5 can be more than 10 thousand. Imagine, if a big brand really did this, the brand would have been smashed. The more opaque the price of an item, the higher the profit, which means how high the cost performance is? You can imagine.
