Stick to 3 pianos then you can't go wrong. YAMAHA / KAWAI and Steinway. Yamaha just purchased Bosendofer piano company which is top 3 pianos in the world. Kawai and steinway alliance is pretty strong right now, so they are gonna stay for long time in business. any other pianos then.........unless you can find an amazing price means that you can get way lower then these 3 piano price range....:P Remember one thing. You pay for what you get is always true. There s no such a thing called bargain. For piano this kind of bigger ticket item there s no dealer willing to take a lose just try to push the piano out. it just simply not gonna happen.
