Why Buy a Piano Through an Online Piano Store?
Buying a piano is not an easy decision to make. Traditionally, you would visit a piano store, chat with the salesperson and trial some keyboards. This was often time consuming and actually provides less benefit that you might think. The reasons for purchasing through an online piano store might surprise you.
1. The convenience of piano shopping from home
This may not be the biggest surprise of our list, however, it is a considerable benefit. An online piano shop is open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. You are free to explore the options at your leisure. Furthermore, physical piano showrooms and dealerships are not as prevalent as they once were. You may need to travel substantial distances to find one nowadays.
2. Export support and advice
Just because you are buying online doesn’t mean you can’t get expert assistance in helping you make a decision. With the Wertheim Pianos online store you can call or arrange contact with our sales staff at any time. We can help lead you through the options and features of our range of keyboards, whether traditional acoustic pianos or modern digital pianos.
3. Better piano pricing
When buying from the Wertheim online piano shop, you are buying direct from the manufacturer. This equates to great piano prices with excellent bang for your buck. Additionally, an online piano store does not have the cost overheads of a physical piano dealership or showroom. This in itself can lead to cost savings.
Overall, better piano pricing means that a good quality piano becomes affordable where it wasn’t before. Alternatively, if you’ve got a budget and happy to spend, you can step up a model – you get a better quality instrument for the same price.
4. Piano sound quality
This is probably an unexpected one. When trialling a keyboard in a piano showroom, you are listening to an instrument that has been specifically calibrated for that space. This is not what the instrument will sound like in your own home (unless you live in a showroom, of course).
Additionally, acoustic pianos in particular are still mostly hand-made. As such, each and every instrument will have some variations in tone and timbre, or overall sound quality. It is very rare that the piano you listened to at the showroom will be the one that will be delivered.
It is important to listen to the general sound quality of a piano, which is just as easily done online as it is travelling to a dealership.
5. An online piano store that offers home delivery and piano setup
Getting your new piano delivered and setup can be a major challenge, especially with larger instruments such as grands or baby grand pianos. Furthermore, as mentioned above, the sound quality can vary considerably from room to room and ideally requires professional in-home tuning to get the best results.
At Wertheim, all instrument purchases through our online piano store include free delivery Australia-wide. Additionally, experienced piano technicians will setup your instrument and tune it to match the room and your personal audio preferences. Once finished, you’ll have a piano that sounds the best for the space it’s housed in and that you’ll be happy to play or listen to.
6. Easier installation for player piano setups
If you are opting for a player piano system such as PianoDisc, the installation can be completed at our warehouse prior to delivery. Your PianoDisc system is installed with the minimum of fuss and ready to use and enjoy from the start.

7. Financing options
New pianos can be a large investment, especially with high-end models. Flexible financing options are available to let you get a beautiful new Wertheim piano into your home whilst reducing the strain on your cashflow.
8. No stress sales
Buying a piano online drastically reduces the stress of walking into a showroom with a high-pressure sales environment. Explore at your own pace, and if you need help, simply start a conversation with our knowledgeable and highly experienced sales staff.
9. The Bonus Benefit when buying from Wertheim Pianos
When you buy through our online piano store, you are buying directly from the manufacturer. Wertheim Pianos have created our range of instruments using European design aesthetics combined with modern technology and manufacturing processes. Our piano components are sourced from around the world, from Germany and Italy to USA and Korea, then assembled in Korea and China. We maintain control of quality at all stages from design to delivery. This guarantees you are purchasing a top-quality instrument at a great price.
The Wertheim brand offers equivalent quality to Kawai and Yamaha pianos, though typically with better pricing. Wertheim even offer a professional grade upright piano designed by renowned piano designer, Del Fandrich, commonly considered to be equal to a grand piano in sound and touch. See our article on how innovative piano design and technology affects sound quality.
