1. Another thought

A few years ago, I gave away a baby grand when I downsized. They are actually hard to get rid of. I see them given away occasionally on Craigslist by people who have to move and don't want the hassle of trying to sell.

If you are not a concert pianist, an older used one that has been well cared for might be very affordable. Avoid ones that cannot be tuned to concert C, or haven't been regularly tuned and maintained.

Also avoid very old ones. "Antique" pianos may have cracked sound boards, or require new strings. Very expensive repairs.

Good luck. I loved mine.
