Price of Pianos in UK?

Is there anywhere on the Internet that I can get a price list of all new upright pianos so I can see what I can get in my budget? As I am inexperienced - some sites e.g Bechstein, Blunther etc.... don't give any ideas on prices - not even RRP so at least I can get a shortlist! I am buying very soon ...

Hi Barrie

Thanks for you speedy reply.

Maybe an easier question would be -

If it was your money in the same situation as me, what would you buy?

If Yamaha U1 is a great piano where is the cheapest place to purchase one?

Regards
