Pianos, espeically those great for beginners, are surprisingly inexpensive. If you look in the paper or online at classified ads you'll find many listed for under $1000.
Below is a little info I pulled off of Concert Pitch Piano. This site is strictly for information. They are in Canada and I'm not affiliated with them in any way. And listed below that are a few local ads from Craigslist for pianos. I can't vouch for quality of the piano or those selling because I haven't actually seen the pianos. These are to be used as leads only. I cannot be held responsible for these listings. I will update this post once a week so that all the listings are new.
INITIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Proficiency Level
In general, it's a good idea to buy a piano of slightly higher quality than you think you deserve, and then grow into it. If there are several pianists in the family, aim your purchase toward the most advanced. A higher quality piano is an excellent investment, and will hold its value well. So, if piano lessons don't work out in the family, at least you can re-sell it at a price fairly close to what you paid for it.
Space
- Upright pianos need about a 5 feet wide x 5 feet deep area (including space for the pianist and bench)
- Grand pianos need a space about 5 to 7 feet wide. The length required will range from
4 1/2 to 9 1/2 feet, depending on the model, plus another 2 feet for the pianist and bench.
Make sure the piano can be placed away from sources of heat and cold like radiators, heating vents, air conditioners, direct sunlight and fireplaces.
Money
Buy the tallest upright or the longest grand that you can afford. The longer the strings and the bigger the soundboard, the better the tone.
