It may feel like the Christmas decs have only just returned to the loft, but we’re already approaching the halfway mark of 2025.
Worried you’ve not got much to show for it?
Then why not make now the time you finally invest in an upright piano?
Aside from bringing joy and entertainment, owning your own instrument can help to improve the quality and quantity of your practice, too – but these aren’t the only benefits.
Here are 5 reasons why buying an upright piano in 2025 is a great idea.
Reason #1 – Space
Feel like you’re getting less and less for your money? It’s not your imagination – even our houses are getting smaller!
According to Property Reporter, despite housing prices rising exponentially during the 2000s, the average size of a living room used to be around 212.5 sq. ft. This has now dropped to just 194.9 sq. ft. A decrease of 8.06%!
With less living space up for grabs in 2025, it makes sense to invest in an upright design over a grand piano. Ideal for space-saving, their more compact design allows you to be conservative with space without compromising quality.
Reason #2 – Choice
When it comes to upright pianos, you will quite literally be spoilt for choice.
Whether you hanker after a Hoffman, yearn for a Yamaha or would kill for a Kawai, all the big-name brands offer a fantastic range of upright pianos. Presenting stunning craftsmanship and even more impressive sounds.
What’s more, as the digital world continues to evolve, buy now and you can benefit from the impressive capabilities of digital uprights. Packing a musical punch with the added convenience of digital capabilities and an even more compact form.
Reason #3 – Great for beginners
Questioning if an upright piano is the right call or if you’d be better off with a grand piano?
Whilst many musicians have a long-term ambition to own a grand piano, there’s no escaping that more convenient uprights are great for those just starting out.
Reason #4 – Resale
If the reason you’re holding back is the fear that you could end up out of pocket, it can be reassuring to know that upright pianos hold a pretty impressive resale value.
With a bigger market for second hand upright pianos, selling your used upright piano on is generally easier – and faster – if it turns out to be not quite right for you.
Reason #5 – Better value
With ever-increasing costs, getting value for money can feel like hard work. Which is why buying now makes perfect sense.
Whilst there are no givens when it comes to future piano prices, the cost of living shows no sign of slowing down. With continual increases in material and labour costs, it’s likely that buying a piano in 2025 will cost you less than waiting until next year.
You can also take advantage of the ‘Take it away’ scheme – providing interest-free loans for musical instruments. As we’re currently part of this incentive, you could benefit from an interest-free loan of between £100 and £5,000 with just a 10% deposit.
