I just bought a good condition 1905 C. Bechstein upright for equiv US$600
incl freight 200 miles (arrives Tuesday !). You should be able to get a
reasonable quality used baby grand for 2K5 I would think, or a highly
up-market upright (Bechstein, Lipp, Yamaha, etc. Steinways probably
disproportionately pull more dosh used than they are worth...).
