在看了以下的照片後, 也許你會更明白: 1. 用在翻新的鋼琴很多都是不值錢的 2. 不值錢的鋼琴, 是不會以上好的材料翻新的 3. 翻新的目的, 只是為了好看 (是否耐用, 穩定, 或是音色, Touching 是否良好並不是翻新的目的)
你相信嗎?一些被當成廢品收購的使用了三四十年的老鋼琴,賣給二手加工廠時不到五百元,但經過翻新之後,這些鋼琴以五六千的價格賣給琴行,或鋼琴老師,而琴行賣時價格已經飛漲到一兩萬。這裡面層層暴利,推銷翻新鋼琴成了琴行和鋼琴老師最為賺錢的一種手段。而在青島市幾萬學習鋼琴的學生中,翻新鋼琴仍然活躍。 4月7日,記者在鋼琴加工廠看到了驚人的一幕,一排排支離破碎、有殘缺的老式鋼琴,經過黑工廠的加工後,嶄新的漆面猶如使用過不久,有九成新。而這些年代久遠的琴,被他們當成僅使用過五六年甚至一兩年的二手琴出售,利潤達數倍。
