OP IMELPOMENE Junior Member I Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 15 toronto	i'm a violin student, planning to start taking piano lessons for RCM performer's ARCT. i'm living in toronto and have trouble finding used piano ads/dealer. yesterday i went to a pearl river dealer in richmond hill, and they had the UP125M1 for CDN $4000+tax ($4600)...... but i could buy it in china for $2000 tops..... -_- (last month i saw an ad of a yamaha U1, 4 months, still has 9.67 years of warranty, $3800 CDN.. but i hesitated, and it was gone....) i'm now looking for a piano that is less than 20 yrs old, under $3500 CDN, 45" or taller, preferrably japanese..... could anybody please suggest where i can buy this kind of piano? newpaper classifieds? websites? any reputable dealers? any good models? (i only know yamaha U1 and kawai bl51 ) thanks a lot!!

Every dealer in North America would have bought it right over the phone..... Check your local yellow pages. You'll get tons of dealers selling pianos in your price range - no problemo! Good luck! norbert

You should try Yamaha Music Gallery in Thornhill, and Piano and Art Gallery in Richmond Hill. Also, there is a pianoshop that sells used pianos listed in the classifieds of the Toronto Star (this was 1 year ago, but I think they still advertise). Call them and see. P.S. I got a Yamaha GA1E from Yamaha Music gallery when I was living in Toronto a year ago. They are extremely price-competitive IMO.

I think they are really overpriced...they had two pretty old Steinway consoles on consignment for $10000 when I went there.

Read the online version of Piano Buyer that you can find by clicking on their ad found on this page somewhere. Last edited by Sparky McBiff; 09/21/11 08:30 PM. Hailun 198
