      • 4.What should I expect in terms of sound & playability from entry-level Kadence instruments?

        • For beginners, the sound is generally acceptable to good — decent volume, tone, etc. But things like tuning stability (especially on cheaper guitars/ukuleles), action height (string height off the fretboard), finishing (lacquer, polish, joins), and quality of accessories (tuners, strings, bag) may not be premium.

          • For beginners, the sound is generally acceptable to good — decent volume, tone, etc. But things like tuning stability (especially on cheaper guitars/ukuleles), action height (string height off the fretboard), finishing (lacquer, polish, joins), and quality of accessories (tuners, strings, bag) may not be premium.

          • For keyboards / digital pianos: the “weighted keys / hammer action” feature in certain models improves realism and feel; good for practicing classical pieces or for those wanting something closer to acoustic piano.

            6.Which Kadence model should I get if I’m a beginner vs intermediate vs more serious player?

            • Beginners: lightweight instruments, simpler models (e.g. basic acoustic guitar with accessories, smaller ukulele), non-fully weighted keyboards if budget constrained.

            • Intermediate / serious hobbyist: look for model upgrades like better tonewoods (solid top or better laminates), built-in preamps or EQ (for guitars that can be amplified), weighted or progressive touch keyboards/pianos, better build quality (truss rod, cut-away, better tuners).

            • The Kadence DP01 (or GEN25 version) is an example of a more premium keyboard model with hammer action, triple pedals, wooden stand etc.

        • For keyboards / digital pianos: the “weighted keys / hammer action” feature in certain models improves realism and feel; good for practicing classical pieces or for those wanting something closer to acoustic piano.

            8. Do Kadence instruments hold resale value / last long?

            • In terms of lifespan: with proper care (humidity, storage, tuning, periodic checkups), many users report presentability and usefulness over several years. But premium brands will often have better resale.

            • Resale may not be as high as top international brands, but because the cost is lower, the risk is lower. Also, demand in local markets matters: guitars/ukuleles from Kadence are more commonly recognised vs obscure brands.

              9.Where to try out / buy Kadence instruments in person?

              • Kadence has “Kadence Xperience” stores in cities like Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Goa.

              • Also through e-commerce platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, etc. Their official site kadence.in also sells instruments.

              • If possible, visiting a store and playing the instrument yourself is a big plus.

                10.How about shipping, import, etc., if buying online?

                • For domestic online purchases, usually shipping is manageable through Amazon, Flipkart, or Kadence’s site. Be careful about seller reviews if buying “marketplace seller” vs “sold by Kadence”.

                • If importing (outside India), there are options (Kadence sells in US etc.), but you may pay customs/duties, shipping, which can increase the effective cost.
