[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 9905945, member: 360"]Oh I've heard this story LOADS OF TIMES. My aunt wanted my two cousins to be SUPER SUPER MULTI TALENTED. Calligraphy, Chinese, Japanese, gymnastics, swimming...and of course - piano!! She bought the cheapest, crappiest piano she could and made my cousins play it. They hated it and once they could stop doing it, they did. And now my aunt's stuck with the piano, because NOBODY wants a cheap, crappy piano, which means she can't even give it away because it's not worth the expense of moving it. And that isn't even the ONLY case. My doctor has a son, and his wife wanted their boy to learn the piano, and he tried, and he lost interest, and AGAIN, they're stuck with a piano that nobody plays and that nobody wants. My aunt, and my doctor are actually friends (they were in university together), so they now live literally just streets apart from each other, and they BOTH have pianos that they CANNOT move for love or money. NOBODY wants them. That's just two examples, I'm sure there's thousands more exactly like this. Never buy a piano unless you're certain that it's going to be used, otherwise it takes up loads of space, and they're HUGE money-pits. Pianos cost a fortune whether they're top-quality, or junk, so always buy the best. That way, if you have to sell it, at least people MIGHT be interested in it. Because if you cheap-it, and buy a junker, then you'll be stuck with it FOREVER because nobody wants to blow hundreds of dollars on a piece of crap.[/QUOTE]
