It was rather surprising as I had higher expectation on other pianos (especially those from Europe). I indeed confirmed Yamaha U3 being not bad at all, after trying out a number of pianos in one of the second-hand piano shops here. I thank you, too, for the advice of carefully listening and feeling it as I also think that such are the important deciding factors for me now. I will definately find out more on the item when I make a visit to the piano owner this Sunday. Thank you so much for these additional most helpful inputs. Second-hand piano market in Bangkok is not good at all, so the price is actually super great already. So I resoluted that my immediate strategy should be bugyig a reasonaly-priced second hand piano in order to at least start practicing which will be necessary when going for shopping to try on various pianos. My longer-term plan is to purchase a higher end grand piano but the house needs to be expanded a little before welcoming a big piano. Now I am more inclined to European pianos. After a long gap of doing nothing about it (because of my relocation to Bangkok), I am now looking forward to appreciating the joy of playing the piano again. I studied the Piano for about 15 years when I was much younger. I have checked some facts about this brand and seems to be of a good value. He has two other pianos and now selling at least one of them (according to him). He bought it new when he was based in Europe. The owner is asking for US$2000 for this. The serial number is 139641 and Bechstein in Germany confirmed the rough production year for me.

I am yet to see/play it but the piano is 20 some years' old (produced around 1990 or a little before). Hoffmann upright for sale from an individual. Hello! I am a new member based in Bangkok and would really appreciate any feedback.
