OK, I am a newbie, with that being said I am about 68 pages into Larry's book, I have read about others reading the book and their comments. I was interested in it, I got in on amazon, and the supplement should be here anytime. Anyway, I received the book after I had visited four dealer in the area, I have one more to go visit before I start the process. I will also finish the book and supplement before I visit again.
After reading the first few chapters, I felt a lot better about what to ask and what to look for when I go back.
So much of what he says in the book is really true, I had one dealer tell me he stripped the outside of a Boston piano and made it more of a matte color and less glossy, when I went to look it up on line, I found the used piano he was talking about came that way from the mfg.
I really like the guy, but I don't know why he would say that?
I will give him another try but will be more skeptical when dealing with the dealers. Plus, It will help them as well, I will know more about what I am looking for and I will know how much time I will take to look at everything I have my mind on. I really like it when they leave you alone to see and touch, the pianos, And, the book has already helped me to ask better questions, which I am writing down. ( I am sure they won’t like that) 
The best part of the book for me, is when he is talking about the techs, I now understand how important a relationship is with these people, I hope to find a good one here.
Thank you all for the forum and the knowledge you share.

Welcome to the forum, frog97! If you give us an idea of your basic parameters in your search (upright vs. grand? approximate budget? tonal preferences?), we could probably offer you better advice regarding possible brands/models to try out.

Thank you, I knew I was over-looking something? Value, I would like to find the best value for the money...I plan on using it for a very long time, and having my son use it as well, I would trade up I guess If I needed in the future, but I am more of a person, that will over buy a little, so I don't have to buy again later.

Upright, As far as the Piano goes, I really like a nice mid-range sound, some sound like tin, and I don't like that, I really don't want to have to play hard to get a nice sound out of it.
Budget I have different price points I would look at between $4-8,
Thank you for the suggestions.

In that case I would recommend that you look at the Kawai K5 and Yamaha U1 or U3. I believe these are brands in your price range, with a long history of good manufacturing, sound, and action.

If you can find Hailun in your neck of the woods, they deserve a good look, too.

I'd also say that if you are sure the dealer lied to you, I would not go back to give the individual a second chance. There's no need for that sort of behavior by a dealer, and you'll never be fully confident in anything else they tell you.

I have had very interesting responses from dealers after mentioning that I read The Piano Book. Especially surprising was a Yamaha dealer, who pretty well discounted the entire book. I thought Larry Fine was especially positive about Yamahas.

Makes you wonder if these people have actually read the book, or just ‘heard about it.’ I think it's an excellent reference for anyone who is interested in pianos, especially those whose livelihood depends on them. Maybe some just don’t care, they just want to spin a piano onto you. Thankfully, I encountered very few of those.
