Klavier

That's a good question, and there's not really a straight forward answer. I've played pianos I love and pianos I hated at all different prices. I'll only talk about new piano prices so I can be consistent. But keep in mind, there are great deals to be found in used pianos, and pianos aren't like cars where they wear out just from being driven.

My favorite piano ever is the Fazioli 10'2" concert grand. But, it's $250,000, and way out of my price range! I've played a Yamaha GB-1 that I really loved given it's size and price. It's only a 4'11" baby grand (and not quite as good most concert grands), but I've never played a piano that small that had such a great sound and key feel. The price on it at the time (which was two years ago) was $8,000. Just find a piano you can afford, but spend a lot of time playing it before you buy it. The feel of the keys is the MOST IMPORTANT thing. More important than the sound. Trust me. If a piano is too bright, you piano tuner can voice it down. If it's too dull, he can voice it up. But the key action, much harder to adjust. Also beware of some of the cheapest brands that may sound and feel good at first, but aren't well constructed. I'd say you are safe with any major brand (Yamaha, Kawai, Steinway (and Boston, a cheaper piano designed by Steinway), Baldwin (if you can find one you like the feel of, I've hated most of them I've played, with one exception), even Pearl River pianos are really well made these days (the ones more than about five years old ore pretty much crap though). I hope that helps, but it's a very personal decision, and en expensive enough one that you want to take you time, and don't be shy about spending lots of time playing the piano you are thinking of buying before you actually buy it.
