Our 2nd hand Yamaha Piano


The piano is finally here in our house and it was after 2 months of search. We had a hard time hunting down a reasonably priced 2nd hand piano and found this M108 at Emmanuel and Sons. I had asked to reserve this piece when Mr Kwan told me that he had just recieved the stock 2 weeks back. Emmanuel and Sons do not have a lot of 2nd hand pieces in their shop so we had to put our request with Mr Kwan and call him each week to check if there's any suitable stocks. This cost us $2.5k but thought it was quite reasonably priced since these days, you hardly can find a Japanese made Yamaha model and the sounds do sound quite nice to our ears.

We have deliberated on this purchase for the last 2 years, was worried that money will go to waste if Caden's interest in music diminished after he starts primary school. To-date, he asked to continue with his Yamaha Junior Music Course eventhough there are times when he was really not persistently practising.
This afternoon, Caden was excited with the arrival of the piano and kept playing on it.. I wonder how long will his interest last. I became more interested in picking up playing, and attempted a few simple pieces with Caden's 2nd year book.
