Introduction:

A reconditioned piano offers great value without compromising on quality. In Singapore, where high humidity can affect instruments, it’s important to choose carefully. This article will guide you through the essential considerations when buying a reconditioned or second-hand piano in Singapore.


What Is a Reconditioned Piano?

A reconditioned piano is a used piano that has undergone restoration to bring it back to excellent playing condition. This includes mechanical repairs, cabinet refinishing, tuning, and regulation. It’s one of the most popular options for families, students, and musicians looking to buy a quality piano without the full price of a new one.


Why Choose Reconditioned Pianos from Japan?

Japan has a reputation for exceptional piano care. Pianos like Yamaha U1, U3, and Kawai models are often used for a few years and then exported in excellent condition. At Melodious Piano Boutique, we handpick Grade A Japanese pianos and recondition them for the Singapore climate.


What to Inspect Before Buying a Second-Hand Piano in Singapore

  • Action and keys: Should feel even and responsive

  • Soundboard and bridges: Free from cracks and moisture damage

  • Exterior finish: Polished, with no major dents or chips

  • Strings and tuning pins: Rust-free and tension-stable

  • Humidity control: Look for pianos treated for Singapore’s tropical environment

  • Warranty on every used piano sold

  • Professional piano tuning and regulation

  • Free delivery in Singapore
