What should I check when I buy a piano?
The best advice is to bring the piano in for a free check-up
before buying, if possible. If you can't do that, you should
at least lift the cover and look for signs of water
damage. A piano that has been exposed to water will
smell of mold and mildew, and have green or black spots on wood
parts. Other signs are rust on metal parts or green oxygenation
on pickups coil. Water and humidity are the Rhodes worst enemies,
while all other problems can usually be fixed.
