Buying a Piano

Buying a piano is more than a purchase—it’s an investment in your family’s future, creativity, and musical growth. At Worldwide Piano, we believe every buyer deserves to be equipped with the right information. If you’re new to piano ownership, here are key things to keep in mind before you make your decision.

Can I Trust the Internet for Piano Advice?

The internet offers a wealth of information, but not all of it is reliable. Forums and reviews are often filled with mixed opinions or outdated facts. Your best resource? A reputable local piano retailer like Worldwide Piano. We work directly with manufacturers, understand the instruments inside and out, and care about building long-term relationships with our customers. Our reputation depends on your satisfaction.

Should the Piano Be Unboxed in My Home?

No. A high-quality acoustic piano should never be unboxed in your living room. Pianos travel long distances from the factory to your home, and it’s crucial that they are inspected and prepped by professionals. At Worldwide Piano, each instrument is carefully unboxed, inspected, and cleaned by a certified technician before it arrives at your door. This ensures it’s delivered in perfect playing condition.

What About Serial Numbers?

Many people ask if the serial number of a piano matters. The answer: not really, at least for new pianos. Serial numbers help determine the date of manufacture, but they are assigned early in the production process—long before a piano is finished, shipped, and warehoused. Quality, condition, and preparation are far more important than the serial number itself.

Do I Need a Written Warranty?

You may receive a written warranty when purchasing a new piano, but it’s not required to receive warranty service. Plus most major manufacturers have moved to posting their warranty terms online. All you need to keep is your bill of sale—this serves as your proof of purchase and warranty activation.

What’s the Difference Between a Full and Limited Warranty?

In the United States, all new pianos come with either a full or limited warranty:

Full Warranty: The warranty follows the piano. This means the piano is covered throughout the full warranty period, even if it’s resold. Limited Warranty: This is only valid for the original purchaser and does not transfer if the piano changes hands.

Worldwide Piano can help you understand exactly what type of warranty your piano carries and what it means for you.

Why Invest in a Quality Piano?

A great piano isn’t just a beautiful piece of furniture—it’s a long-term educational tool. Children who learn to play piano benefit in many ways:

Higher test scores Improved math and language skills Stronger hand-eye coordination Fine motor skill development Greater self-confidence A lifelong hobby they’ll treasure

Unlike cars or appliances, a well-built piano is crafted to last generations. That’s why it’s important to work with a retailer who can also provide ongoing service, tuning, and lessons—like us.
