You won't like any of these, they are bright pianos. I like Baldwin Acrosonic, Baldwin Hamilton, Sohmer, Mason & Hamlin, Steinway, Wurlitzer, Cable Nelson, Grinnell Bros. There are dozens of brands from the fifties and sixties that can be had for $1000 or less, but the quality brands tend to be bright. I've bought a piano from a home (steinway 40) and a $50 spinette from Salvation Army resale, I do the inspection myself. You could also look at Pearl River models in that price range, used Kawai, etc - they'd make much better pianos and you'd be much happier than if you were to buy a so-so piano for $1000. My U1 would equate to around $4000 but it's grey market so you'd probably find them much cheaper in the US. However they were from private homes and if I were you, looking to spend $1000, (which is a lot of money but probably won't buy you a whole lot of piano) I'd save up until I could buy something from a dealer that was warrantied. When I was searching for pianos I did see used Baldwin uprights for around £500 which could suit your purpose.
I paid roughly £3000 for my (used) Yamaha U1. Quote from: schubert960 on July 14, 2015, 09:57:28 PM I'm not in the US so a lot of this probably won't apply but here it's very difficult to get a quality upright for anything less than £2000 (around $3100.) What you will find at that price point are Yamaha B1s, Chinese makes like Steinmayer, Waldstein, Weber, maybe Kemble.
