are there techniques required in playing the piano?
1_Wizard
I'm sure about techniques being required I just know to play the piano you have to learn the keys. Some keys have greater velocity than others and the amount of pressure you put on the keys matter as well.

whats your best brand of piana?
1_Wizard
I found that the Bösendorfer brand of pianos are the best to use. Although they might be more expensive because they are luxury pianos.
