Choosing an upright piano as a beginner who had never learnt classical piano before is hard. Realllyyy hard. >.<
Okay I'm gonna start learning classical piano after I move, as someone who had only used the $2000 digital piano for Pop Piano class will never know how to differentiate between upright pianos for classical use. Man. This is terrible.
My mum wants me to decide on one for myself. Well. I just got advice from Joanne.
Yamaha U1

You realised that I have no comments for them cos I don't know how to. =.=
*Feels noob*
Joanne said that I should not just blindly go for the good one like the YUS5. Base it on the practicality of it. I need to spend time seasoning the piano when it first comes to my house and if not it will just go to waste. Also, I think for a beginner like me, getting YUS5 is..well, too much. YUS5 is bought only if you will practice it for 4 times a week, 1 hr each time. That one has no guarantees, looking at our school curriculum, especially when I go to Year 3.
U1 is a common choice for students. Hmm. But I may want a better one when I improve, and piano is a lifetime investment.
Thinking of getting U3.
*ARGHHHH* nvm. Think another time. T.T
Advice needed. Anyone?
