The shop assistant told me that it was almost a Bentley and that you just pay for the name of a Yamaha.
The make or number on the piano is Digital Piano IM8815 Digital Piano TG8815
Can you shed any light on if it’s a good buy?
Kind regards, Amrit
Amswer/ Hi Amrit
The piano in question is the Diginova brand (a variation of
Yamaha's brand name 'Clavinova'.
The Diginovas are actually copies of the old Roland pianos.
The price is certainly cheap, but I think you should consider
buying a Casio digital piano.
The Casio Privia PX110 is less than £300 - better value
than the Diginova in my opinion. Here is the link for the Casio:

There are not many digital pianos selling for the low price
of the Diginova, so if you are on a budget then by all means
go ahead, but bare in mind that you will have to change it
if your piano playing progresses to a higher level.

That’s Brilliant, you’ve really helped, I’m sure there are a lot of parent’s out there who get so confused and angry when trying to look for pianos their children when they first begin playing, bearing in mind it may only be a fad!
I wouldn’t mind paying a bit more as I do want my son to learn so what do you recommend? I’ve seen lots of second hand clavinova’s – would you recommend me buying one of those? Or should I just stick to a new one as I see no point in buying another one if he does progress.
Many thanks for your help!
kind regards, Amrit

Buying a second hand Yamaha Clavinova will certainly
save you money, but you won't get a guarantee with
it and if anything were to go wrong, it may cost you an
arm and a leg to repair.
It is better to buy a new one. You get a 3 year guarantee
and peace of mind.
I recommend the Yamaha CLP220. This is the most
popular digital piano on the market - it seems that
everyone is buying this! You can check it out here:
