The cost of a piano can vary widely—from about $600 to $50,000+ —depending on several factors:

Type of Piano: Acoustic pianos, including uprights and grands, generally have a broader price range than digital pianos. Uprights are usually more affordable, while grands can be more expensive. Digitals tend to be the most affordable options.

Size and Features: Larger and more feature-rich pianos may have higher prices compared to compact and basic models.

Condition and Repair Costs: Pianos in need of substantial repairs or refurbishment likely can’t be sold for anything. In such cases, owners may prefer to give them away for free instead of investing in repairs.

Free Piano Scams: There are scammers taking advantage of people’s interest in a free piano. They’ll claim to have it delivered to you directly before you even see it. Read our guide on how to avoid free piano scams!
