Every piano is handpicked, professionally reconditioned, and prepared to perform at its best in Singapore’s unique climate.
Grading and Local Restoration Efforts from JAPAN
Japanese used piano suppliers categorize pianos into different grades (A, B, and C). This involves varying degrees of craftsmanship and tuning capabilities to achieve the desired piano sound.
Inspired by Japanese workmanship, some suppliers go to great lengths, replacing every screw in the piano to give it a remarkably new appearance.
Why Choose a Japan-Reconditioned Piano?
Japan is globally known for producing and maintaining pianos of exceptional quality. Their used piano market is the most trusted in the world, thanks to strict maintenance standards and low usage levels due to cultural care.
All our pianos from Japan go through a rigorous reconditioning process before arriving in Singapore:
-
Internal inspection & part replacement (hammers, strings, felts)
-
Exterior refinishing & casework polishing
-
Action regulation and voicing
-
Serial number verification
-
Humidity control preparation
Each unit is graded (AAAA or higher), meeting the highest standards for tone, touch, and visual appeal.
What Is a Reconditioned Piano?
A reconditioned piano is a pre-owned instrument that has been restored to optimal playing condition using original or equivalent-grade parts. Unlike second-hand pianos that are simply resold, our pianos are carefully inspected, rebuilt, and tested by experienced technicians in Japan before they are imported into Singapore.

How Do We Verify Our Pianos?
We use tools like serial number tracking, manufacturer documentation, and JUPA (Japan Used Piano Association) grading to ensure the authenticity and condition of each piano we import. Our customers receive full transparency, including the origin, age, and reconditioning records of each piano.

Why "Fully Reconditioned in Japan" Matters
Japan is home to some of the world’s finest piano brands like Yamaha and Kawai, known for their exceptional craftsmanship and long-lasting durability. But not all pre-owned pianos are the same.
-
Some used pianos are simply cleaned and resold — without proper inspection or restoration.
-
Others are reconditioned in third-party factories outside of Japan, where quality control may not be consistent.
-
At Melodious, we only import pianos that are professionally and fully reconditioned in Japan — where the standard is high, and attention to detail is unmatched.

Beware: Not All Used Pianos Are Equal
Nowadays, many used pianos sold online or in shops are not truly reconditioned in Japan. They may:
-
Skip crucial internal repairs
-
Have inconsistent touch or tuning
-
Come with no long-term support or warranty
That’s why we only source our pianos from trusted suppliers in Japan, and we stand by our quality with after-sales support.

Our Japanese technicians perform a thorough overhaul before each piano is shipped to Singapore. This includes:
Action & Mechanical Parts
-
Replacement or restoration of worn-out hammers, dampers, felts, and action parts
-
Fine regulation for optimal touch response and dynamics
Tuning & Voicing
-
Tuned to international pitch (A440)
