My Christmas present has just arrived, a Bentley upright piano from circa 1990.
Now I know pianos have to settle and be retuned and stuff, but to me it sounds nothing like it did in the shop, there is a hum or buzzing sound which sustains for quite some time after playing a few notes which drives my ear mad, and the sound is much less "bright" than it was when I tried it in the shop.
I'm so worried I've made a mistake, I haven't played much in years and was really excited about learning again but I don't know much about pianos themselves. I just knew that I liked a bright but not Yamaha-bright sound, and thought I'd found the perfect one for me. Now I'm a little concerned...
Someone tell me this is normal and the tuner will fix it when it's settled! Or alternatively does anyone know how I can fix it? Or if I've bought a duff piano? (Please noooo!)
