As Phillip said, do you need a very high quaity instrument to learn to play on? Can you hear the difference between a great piano and mearly OK one? I can't, and doubt that I ever could. Our 111 year old upright snds great to me, but then I grew up with it, our kids learned to play it, etc. - it's what I compare all other pianos to. It was re-built once, in the 1960s I think. We (the kids) hated that the chipped ivories were prelaced with plastic, but those plastic covers are still as good as they were in 1960, so they are more durable. I just hope one of the kids decides to live in one place long enough to make it worth moving it to their house - the grand kids need to learn to play on their great-great-great grandparent's piano.
