Cordogan's has vertical pianos that have been made in every corner of the globe, ranging in quality level from that which will comfortably get a student started with lessons to the highest performance pianos on the planet. While new vertical pianos have retail prices beginning in the $3000 range, Cordogan's often buys bulk quantities which results in sale prices much lower than any of our competitors can offer.
"What is the price range of pianos?" is a question we hear all of the time. Our answer: "free, on up!" Price ranges of used vertical pianos is a difficult topic to briefly discuss, given a couple hundred years of production from thousands of manufacturers. We are Illinois largest piano store because we offer the best value for your money on EVERY instrument we sell, without the gimmicky advertising, misinformation or high pressure sales tactics that unfortunately often taint piano purchases.
If you are in the Chicagoland area, please feel free to call our Geneva location for information that will help you to learn more about the different manufacturers, their reputations, who makes what brands, etc. The piano industry is a tangled web of brand names, all stemming from a very small number of manufacturers -- including many recognizable American brand names that actually have far less American involvement than what you might think or aren't even made anywhere near America.
If you live outside of Illinois and are shopping for the perfect used instrument, Cordogan's can still help you! We deliver pianos regularly across North America and internationally, too! Even though our used inventory pages represent only a fraction of what's in stock, please visit those pages to gain an idea of price ranges. Keep in mind that the price ranges include necessary items and services which are often left out of the "used car" type advertising you might see in the papers or on the web. We don't charge for a piano bench (which would be like charging for the remote that comes with the TV) and you won't see absurd delivery charges that are clearly profit centers, intended to make up for what started as an attractive price!
Call or email us for more information about any used piano we have in stock. If you're looking for a specific brand of used piano, such as Steinway, Baldwin, Yamaha, Kawai or Mason & Hamlin, contact us and we'll let you know what we have in stock within 24 hours. If we don't have what you're looking for NOW, you can add your name to our database and we'll contact you when it comes in.
The piano industry has evolved dramatically since 2000, with the influx of countless inexpensive pianos from China and Indonesia. Even familiar American brand names such as Steinway and Baldwin have resorted to selling Chinese pianos under their corporate umbrella. Sometimes, the dealers honestly disclose this fact. Sometimes they don’t. Baldwin goes so far as to stamp “A product of Baldwin U.S.A.” on some of their grand pianos, which can be quite confusing to a consumer!
This isn’t to say you do or don’t wish to purchase such a piano, but to become knowledgeable about WHAT you’re buying is why you’re here. We’re here to help.
