What Budget to Expect for a New Upright Piano

Prices for a new upright piano span a wide range — the gap between entry-level and mid-to-high-end brands can be several times over, and the right budget depends on the piano's country of manufacture, brand positioning, and size, rather than a single fixed number.

It's worth setting a rough budget range first, then trying a few pianos in that range in person at a showroom to feel out the differences in tone and touch, rather than fixating on a particular brand first and then trying to stretch the budget to match — this makes it easier to find a piano that genuinely fits within budget, rather than settling for a compromise.
