Buying an upright piano

if your daughters are young and still beginners I would really, really hold off on spending $$ on a piano. If they ever want to quit it will be another reason to persuade them to stay with it. I took lessons for 8 years and probably hated 7.25. years of it. And that piano is still a permanent fixture of my parent's house.

Just from Craigslist I could have an entire room of upright pianos and old organs in a week if I could move them (and/or had the room).
