BEST VALUE! Hailun was selected by the LDS church and the industry as Piano Line of the Year for it’s overall value based on cost and quality.
- To give a comparison, Larry Fine (Piano Buyer Guide publisher and renowned piano critic) ranks Hailun in the same tier for quality and performance as Yamaha and Kawai. In other words, Hailun is rated in the same class as the Yamaha and Kawai flagship models.
- The price of Hailun performance uprights, however, is comparable to Yamaha and Kawai’s economy series, a significantly reduced price due to the lower quality of parts in the lower tiered Yamaha and Kawai instruments.
