For a pianist of over a decade, you'd think I would know more about such things, but... I don't.

I realize that this will vary widely with condition, manufacturer, deals/dealerships, and such, but I'm asking for rough price points for pianos of that approximate size.

Market in question: south Texas. Think like San Antonio / Corpus Christi and such.

Basically, I'm poking around for grand pianos that are just out of "baby grand" territory, more or less (five and a half feet-ish?), from the usual manufacturers (Yamaha, Kawai, Pearl River though I'm unsure of their current rep here on the forum, and so on). Again, I know it's going to vary a lot, but some idea of pricing would be very much appreciated.

This would likely be in a room with somewhat low ceilings and may actually be in the loft of a two-story home, if that makes a difference.

Thank you.

I have been Out of the market for a Grand for too long to give you direct advice, but,
go here
https://www.pianoworld.com/ubb/ubb/ultimatebb.php?/forum/1.html

You can either search in that forum or ask your question directly. Analyzing and buying Acoustics (Grands mostly) is pretty much 100% of what they talk about there.  Lots of interesting info if you are In the market.
