Basically, I would like to spend no more than $500 to $750, I would follow Clyde's advice and keep your existing piano. If you have $500-$750, put it into your existing piano. While you won't really get the money back upon resale, you will learn a lot by doing whatever work you choose to do. You'll have a hard time finding a good upright for under $1,000. And most of the places that sell such uprights... well, you probably have enough knowledge to inspect a piano. My first piano was about $700. I spent months shopping around an entire metropolitan area, and I learned all the tricks of the trade. I finally found a pretty good piano for the money, and it served me well for a few years. But if you already have an upright with 88 working keys, you're probably better off with what you have. When you have $5,000 or more to spend, then you might get the piano of your dreams. Definitely play a Charles Walter if you think that pianos under 52" don't sound big enough. Charles Neuman PTG Assoc, Long Island
