[问题]新手报道兼问关于购买钢琴
新手报道,不知对于求助于贴有何规定?
近期想买钢琴, Budget 在CAD$5000(USD4200), 本人对品牌无特别偏好, 各位有何高见? 我在加拿大.

我忍,我忍,我忍忍忍
你大概想要什么样的琴? 是给自己练习还是给小孩用?
加拿大的情况我不知道, 在美国,你的预算足足有余。 八九成新的立式钢琴,两千五百美元以内能买到(像样的,至少得一千五)。 买全新的也够,只是乐器这类东西,只要保养得还好,不在乎新旧的,除非你在乎。
我觉得按牌子挑钢琴不准,因为每架钢琴的声色独特,同个牌子的也不一样。 客观上得看琴键平不平,高音亮不亮,低音厚不, 踩了踏板怎么样。然后打开琴盖看里面,再问问soundboard是什么木头做的(核桃木的不容易跑音,不然总得调琴)。 当然最好有粒会弹琴的朋友陪着挑, 若没有,比较可靠的牌子是Yamaha, Baldwin, 还有Samick.
It's hard to be more specific, because pianos vary from one to another, you have to judge them individually. Good luck finding a piano!

海伦也买琴哩? 给你家哪粒孩子练习?
核桃木就是walnut wood, 大概是这样的吧。 有些南韩的琴,后面是合成板做的,最好没买那样的。 具体细节我得问我妈, 伊知道得比我多。
我的建议是给小孩子练得琴, 买个upright足够。 Upright里面也分档次,spinet最小, full upright大概是42英寸高。 以价钱/物质来说,full upright最合算,但是spinet也有好处, 外表通常做得讲究,万一孩子弹两月没兴趣了,当家具摆也不错。
去挑新琴时,象海伦那样找个比较可靠的琴行最好。 价钱上就别太计较了,一是碰上合适的琴是缘分,二,钢琴不贬值的。 挑旧琴时要靠common sense. 看看琴键有没有发黄,摁下中间一个键,看两边的木头干净不。 打开琴盖看里面看弹簧,felt上面有印吗。 再问问卖琴的人,这琴是哪年头的。
I don't want to scare you, but it is difficult to pick a suitable piano that sounds good. Whenever I am at a piano store, I would play and touch at least 20-30 pianos, and maybe there are two or three I like, and one that I just love. This happens in all sorts of piano stores, from ones that refurbish used pianos to Steinway halls with three floors of grand pianos. So the good news is that no matter where you go, you can find something that's good. Bad news is that you will encounter a lot of bad ones first.
As to how a kid should proceed to learn piano, hmm... it's a complicated issue. First of all, unless the child exhibits tremendous talent, there is no need to start before 5 or 6. It's just a waste. The kid has no clue, the parents usually have no clue, and the house just ends up noisy.
I have never heard this suzuki stuffs, so I googled it. It seems the core of it just common sense. You provide the kid with a musical environment, and of course parental participation helps a lot in the beginning. Come to think of it, it's similar to the way I learned piano. My mother played very well, so she taught me at the beginning. Later on, she came to my lessons till I was about 14. Of course when I practiced, she knew all the wrong moves and didn't hesitate to correct me. I have to say, nothing, NOTHING, she did irritated me more than pointing out my wrong notes.
So I don't know about how involved parents should be.
My suggestion is that don't have too much expectation now, just be supportive, and let the kid see if she/he likes it. Playing well takes discipline, but no amount of practice will cut it if the kid doesn't have some musical talent. Gotta to love it, or at least like it, otherwise it is painful everyone.
Okay, I haven't painted a rosy picture here. Still I encourage you to give your child an opportunity to play, to expose her/him to music. You can't really appreciate the beauty and the nuance in music unless you play. I have seen soooo many people who just read books and listen to CDs, but they obviously haven't touched an instrument. It's a pity, one gets much more joy by playing.

谢谢Lafayette发这个帖子,我也在加拿大,正开始关注同样的问题。借Lafayette帖子问几个关于小孩子学钢琴的问题 --
1。 几岁开始学比较好呢? Karen说的很多我都很赞同。但是想请教一点 -- 如果小孩子明显表示出对音乐还有‘乱弹琴’的爱好呢? 有没有必要早一些买钢琴提供一个环境(without any pressure or expectation)让她在五六岁前开始接触学琴呢?
2。 有朋友买了电子琴,让孩子先折腾这个开始。周围两种观点 -- 一是不要买电子琴,手指用力跟弹钢琴完全不同,容易造成以后的混淆,不如一来就投资钢琴;二是觉得这个可以让很小的孩子开始接触键盘,而且说以后不会影响学钢琴。大家有什么看法么?
3。Yamaha据说是钢琴里面最保值的,虽然贵很多,但是据说放上几年十年都不会depreciate多少。那么买新琴是否值得呢? 我周围朋友里面一般都是花的上万。有人是去音乐学校买用过一两年的旧琴,但一定要有懂行的人一起去挑选才好。

谢谢Karen答疑。 今早刚从琴店和一个老师家里回来。 这个老师是用suzuki 教学的。 我的感觉就是, 这个教学法就是要让孩子多听,可是多听当然是对的,对任何教学法都是有帮助的。不知道其他的好处了。
今天看到的YAMAHA upright, 2000年的, 听上去声音好像比较柔和,满舒服的。 不过我是不懂, 也没有朋友是懂音乐的, 所以就请那个钢琴老师去看看。 据说这家店的信誉挺好的,几个钢琴老师都推荐了。包一年的warrenty. 另外看见一架 story &Clark 的, 不知道这个牌子怎么样? 新的, 只要$2800 左右。 主要是有10 年warrenty. 但是声音好像很 bright。 不知道是否是新的关系。 我根据karen的建议, 问了琴行的人, 那个YAMAHA 的 soundboard 是什么木头, 他说是 spruce wood, 据说对声音震动最敏感的木头。新的YAMAHA upright 应该在$4000左右。

我不是行家,所以我说的你们也别都信。
Tuscany的问题,粉多人问我妈。 我妈当然说,唉,谁晓得,当初她就那么弹下来了。 我听了心想,切,你少装着轻松。
当年为了让我练琴,伊不知花了多少心血。
1。 当父母的总希望给孩子创造最好的条件。 如果有能力,早买琴早请老师教反正没坏处。 不试不知道,万一有天赋,可早早培养。 父母当然觉得自己的孩子最好最天才,但有时也得实际点。 你可试试给孩子唱段歌,她能学着你唱吗? 你给她弹几个音,伊能知道是哪几个音吗? 能在琴键上弹出来吗? 若都是,是,是,那么就抓紧她练习, 可造之才。
2。 电子琴不要买! 我废话少说,这跟钢琴根部不是一会儿事, no self-respecting pianists would touch a keyboard like that.
3. 有能力买最好的琴, 而不是最新的琴。 乐器这东西重质量,你不是在买车。 我朋友的大提琴是18多少年做的, 一两百年了,那声音,哇塞,绝对赛过外面99%的新琴。 钢琴没法保持那么久,但好的琴,要弹上两三年,琴键松了点,调过几次琴后,才到peak performance. 我自己前前后后有个三架钢琴,有新有久,第一架是我妈挑的,后面两架我们一起挑的。 不得不信缘分,摸键弹两下,感觉熟悉,真是“这粒妹妹哪儿见过”。 买了后再没犹豫过,只是越来越喜欢。

回阳光的问题, 我真不清楚suzuki是啥东西。 我没听说过,我朋友们也不知道。 当然很可能我寡闻。 让孩子多听音乐那是common sense, 家长参预也是common sense. 我小时候弹琴,我妈把要弹的录了磁带,让我一遍一遍的听。 有时把我弹得也录下来,给我分析怎么怎么不对。 回头想,还挺有帮助的。 我想你找个有耐心的老师, 专门教课的。 问这老师手下的学生大概多少岁? 几粒? 每学期可组织recital? 一般美国老师重视音色, 中国老师重视技巧。
嗯,我前面可能说错了。 琴是核桃木,琴板是spruce木头。 具体怎么说法,我真记不得。 反正只要是块正正经经的木头就行。有些产家为了省钱,哇, 用合成的。
合成木头用来做ikea的家具没事儿,用两年就扔。 钢琴得用上十几二十年的, 那不早散架了。
买Yamaha错不了,反正砸了银子进去,质量有保证。 Story & Clark我不知道了。 你问是哪儿产的了吗? 是full upright吗? $2800这价钱可以。 你那钢琴老师怎么说?

没想到从JM这里得到这么多有用的信息, 非常感谢!尤其是Karen 和Helen的答疑, 我准备照这个贴子列个清单去shopping.
Tuscany, 你的疑虑我全经历过, 我女儿现在6岁多, 她五岁时 我带她去老师那里试一试, 她抱着我什么示范都不愿做. I think she is not ready yet, 1 year later, I brought her to the same palance, she seems love it . Now
事实上我女儿已有3个月的学琴历史, 也是前期不想投资太高, 花了CAD700多买了一个CASIO的有HAMPER的电子琴. 我看她很有兴趣, 所以准备买架真正的PIANO. therefore I have to spent money twice.
出了"看过"和"听"过老师的钢琴,我真是没碰PIANO, 老师是西人, 大家相处十分客气, 不赶提出帮忙看钢琴的请求.

可不是也买了琴么。先让大的有些基础课吧。你说的这些话真是和我那朋友说得一模一样啊。因此我自己也打算学,分流一些能量,免得都拿去督促孩子太痛苦。正在找钢琴老师,有一位明天来家里见面,我有琐碎问题问你,请看短消息。karen wrote:海伦也买琴哩? 给你家哪粒孩子练习?![]()

楼主别不好意思向你女儿的老师询问。你们买钢琴,意味着女儿的音乐教育有长期的远景,老师在这里是有利益的。我想他/她会很高兴提出建议的。

这是我一直很喜欢也经常拿出来温习的文章,可惜现在BH2000很不稳定,不然可以读一读尚怡大姐其他的几篇文章,特别是Luke小朋友的那一篇。

“注重培养家里的音乐气氛。记得常常收听古典音乐台,电视里有古典音乐方面的节目也不要错过。置备一套不需太高级的音响,在周末的晚上合家围坐,静静欣赏一张唱片或影碟。”
就这一条,对我真是钝刀子割肉。

不用哆嗦呀!小孩子或者大人不喜欢弹琴或是听音乐又不是什么大不了的事情。再说音乐真能让所有人都快乐吗?像一个朋友,有人愿意和他聊天,有人就没什么话说,何必跟自己过不去呢。
我喜欢听古典音乐除了我妈妈的培养之外有很重要的一个因素就是我性格不好,经常需要借助音乐逃避现实。有时候我相信我多了个伴,有时候我又怀疑是不是因为古典音乐我少了很多别的乐趣。
小e,下次我们见面的时候我能听到你拉四季吗?汽缸也好。
我也哈哈哈哈一下,张丹枫。Elysees wrote:会吃的,这一套流行了几千年当然有它存在的必然性。不过笛子也冷清了,尤其别男孩学吧,到时候真白衣似雪的揣根笛子出场,这也太张丹枫了。连波 wrote:18年后的女孩子还吃那种窗下弹琴唱歌的那一套么?这么一想钢琴不能考虑,动静太大,不如学个笛子,掂在手上就去了,万一碰了一鼻子灰,揣在兜里装着没事人就走开啦。
我觉得要是男孩子给我弹首钢琴曲会很贴心。

学笛子啊?我头一个想到的就是Die Zauberflote里的Papageno啦!大约是这两周老听魔笛的缘故。不过Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau唱的Papageno实在好,和唱冬之旅的简直不是同一个人。Elysees wrote:会吃的,这一套流行了几千年当然有它存在的必然性。不过笛子也冷清了,尤其别男孩学吧,到时候真白衣似雪的揣根笛子出场,这也太张丹枫了。连波 wrote:18年后的女孩子还吃那种窗下弹琴唱歌的那一套么?这么一想钢琴不能考虑,动静太大,不如学个笛子,掂在手上就去了,万一碰了一鼻子灰,揣在兜里装着没事人就走开啦。
其实从事古典音乐的男性艺术家里有很大一部分都不是阿得他爹说的那种,特别是那些大师级的指挥家们。我又仔细想了一想,好像真没几个敏感加忧郁的, 就连女性艺术家里也不多。

两天没有来, 掉下面了。 回Karen的问话,那个钢琴老师看了后, 根本没有说story&clark 的事,(这个story&clark 是 full upright, 44" 左右) YAMAHA 也被她批了一通, 说琴键反应不够快。什么东西”太浅“, 我想是琴键按下去深度不够? 她推荐我买更贵的一个
。 店里老板说story&clark 是美国公司的,但是可能是在中国组装的。看样子我要继续寻找。
关于小孩先学钢琴还是小提琴的事我也正想资讯呢。 是不是学小提琴最好要有钢琴的基础呢? 学小提琴真的比较经济, 开始还可以租琴学,避免买钢琴的风险。可是,又觉得这么小学提琴好难, 也受不了开始学的时候的噪音。 很想知道这儿拉小提琴的几位的高见呢。先谢了。我觉得拉小提琴的女孩子更优雅呢。
