It’s about the value they bring into your home (or church, or restaurant, etc) and your heart. But owning a piano in general is not about the financial value.
Tack on additional features beyond playback such as record and a silent system, and the cost only goes up from there.Ĭontrary to popular belief, most pianos are not a financially appreciating asset, and that goes double for player pianos since the technology used to power and control the player systems changes so rapidly. At a minimum, the addition of a player system, whether it is built in like a Yamaha Disklavier or an after market system such as PianoDisc and QRS that can be installed on almost any acoustic piano, will add on at least $6,000, not counting the piano itself. In the same vein, it’s important to think about whether or not the added cost of a player system fits into your budget and overall piano needs and desires. But never fear, there are plenty of other wonderful acoustic pianos out there for you to choose from. If the answer to all of those questions is no, then perhaps a player piano is not the type of piano you are meant to have in your home. Are you someone who always likes to have music on when working from home or doing chores around the house? Do you love piano music and listen to it regularly? Are you a teacher, composer, or player who would regularly use the educational and record functions as part of your work? So, it would be wise to consider whether or not you will truly take advantage of what a player system has to offer.
The issue with a player piano is that it is not so easy to put it in the storage shed or Marie Kondo it out of the house. Before we know it, the gadget that seemed so cool is gathering dust and taking up valuable space or put in storage. Then we succumb to the daily grind of work, cat spoiling, Tiny Human temper tantrum management and shuttling, the excitement of Trail Blazers basketball, or maybe just decide that focusing on our tasks at hand is too difficult with piano music playing in the background. It sounds like a no brainer, but let’s face it: We all get excited about new things and promise ourselves we will get the most out of them, especially around New Years Day.
