New and Used Acoustic Pianos for Sale

Acoustic pianos have so much to offer in terms of sound that a digital can't replicate, but they do require more care and maintenance. Please plan for your piano to be tuned at least once a year (twice is helpful due to temperature/humidity shifts!). All keys must be in working order. Be cautious with online / marketplace purchases - I always recommend that you have a technician evaluate the piano before purchasing!
 
To purchase a new or used acoustic piano, I recommend:
​​Upper Valley Uprights (Lyme, NH)
​
​Old Timey Piano Craft (Brattleboro, VT) - contact Patrick Branstetter
​​Darrell's Music Hall (Nashua, NH)
Hilbert Pianos (Bristol, VT)

Piano Rental / Leasing

I recommend Upper Valley Uprights. The owner is the father of two of my current students and is wonderful to work with!

Digital Pianos

Digital pianos can be very convenient. They save space, don't require tuning, and students can play them with headphones on! That said, it's important that the model you select meets these minimum requirements:
  • 88 weighted keys
  • Pedal (firmly attached, NOT square pedal)
  • Piano is on a sturdy stand that allows legs to comfortably be placed under the keyboard (NOT X-stand)
  • Adjustable bench (you may have to buy this separately! See accessories)
Recommended starter keyboards (under $1000): Yamaha P-125 (see below) or  KAWAI ES8.
​

If you are able to invest in a higher-end digital piano (typically $2000-3k) please let me know and I'll be happy to make recommendations. Yes, you get what you pay for but make sure your paying for the right features!

What Our Clients Are Saying

I can honestly give Elizabeth the credit for keeping my girls interested in piano lessons. All parents know about those transitional periods kids go through from Elementary school into the Middle school and High school years. Interests shift unless the lesson/subject is fresh. I find this applies to adults, too! Elizabeth grew up on the piano. She has the training, talent, expertise and passion to properly teach students. I have personally watched her develop her teaching skills. Her amazing personality keeps students focused, interested and learning. She's fun, loving, adorable and all around fantastic at what she does and who she is. - Lisa
