About
Hi, my name is Aaron Espe.
Before becoming a full-time songwriter in Nashville, I tuned pianos for a living. The most common question I got from people was whether a used piano they'd found was worth buying. The problem is you can't really know unless a technician inspects it.
I made this guide to give you a simple, step-by-step process to make your own assessment with confidence. The last thing you need is to haul a 600-pound piece of furniture home, only to realize it's a piece of junk.
Above I mentioned that if your budget for a piano is less than $800, this guide will likely be a good fit for you. If your budget is more, I recommend hiring a technician to go along with you. Rule of thumb: when a technician’s fee is a small fraction of the piano cost, then hire a technician. This guide is for the other scenario.
Sincerely,
