Yamaha make nice motor bikes, and even passable CD players, but I'm afraid I'm ultra-conservative when it comes to pianos. Few of us can aspire to a Steinway, but a good secondhand Bösendorfer or Broadwood should be within the reach of any serious hi-fi enthusiast, given what s/he will often spend on equipment. I say secondhand because a piano is one of those things which costs a fortune new, but whose value plummets the instant it leaves the showroom. As the second owner, you can let the first owner take the hit. And, unlike some things which the fear of controversy compels me not to mention, pianos do improve with playing - especially the action.
