How much should I expect to spend on a piano?

The cost of a piano can vary greatly depending on several factors, such as the type of piano (acoustic or digital), brand, size, and condition. On average, you can expect to spend anywhere from $300 to $300,000. Here are some examples of the prices of different types of pianos:

  • Upright pianos: An upright piano can cost between $3,000 to $6,500 on average. High-end upright pianos can cost around $10,000 to $25,000.
  • Grand pianos: Entry-level grand pianos can cost between $7,000 to $30,000. High-end grand pianos such as Steinway, Bosendorfer, and Yamaha can cost between $65,000 to $190,000.

It’s important to note that the cost of the instrument is greatly affected by branding, the materials used, labor, and the current market.
