W.W. Kimball began building pianos in Chicago in the 1880s and by the 1960s–70s was the largest piano manufacturer in the United States, turning out consoles and small grands from Jasper, Indiana in enormous numbers. Kimball also owned Bösendorfer from 1966 to 2002, which is why you sometimes see the two names together — though the Austrian grands were never built in Indiana.

Kimball stopped making pianos in 1996. Today the brand sits firmly in the budget tier of the used market: reliable family instruments, plentiful, and priced accordingly. A Kimball is often the first real piano a household owns and rarely the last.

What Kimball is known for

America's highest-volume piano maker of the 1960s–1980s — consoles in nearly every furniture style
Owning Bösendorfer for 36 years (a separate, premium brand — a 'Kimball Bösendorfer' is still a Bösendorfer)
Affordable baby grands (the 4'5" La Petite, 5'2" Viennese models) with more cabinet than tone
Straightforward actions that are cheap to maintain

Popular used Kimballmodels & prices

Kimball consoles (40"–43")

$200–$1,200 used

The bread-and-butter Kimball. Artist Console, Whitney, and furniture-styled variants — reasonable beginner pianos when they have been tuned regularly.

Kimball studio uprights (44"–46")

$500–$1,800 used

School and church workhorses with a taller soundboard. Better tone and durability than the consoles; often the best Kimball value.

Kimball La Petite / Viennese baby grands

$1,500–$4,500 used

Very small grands (4'5"–5'2"). Charming in a living room; musically closer to a good console. Buy on condition and cabinet, not expectation.

Ranges are typical asking prices for privately sold and dealer-restored instruments in the U.S.; condition, age, and restoration quality move prices substantially.

Kimball Spinet	2	1942–1958	$995	$1,698	$2,400

Asking prices, not sale prices. Dealer listings include prep and often a warranty; expect a private sale to close below the median for an ordinary example of the same year.

Buying a used Kimball: what to check

Ask when it was last tuned — a Kimball that has gone ten years without tuning may not hold pitch without a pitch raise and pin work
Check the action for sluggish or sticking keys; the plastic action parts on some 1960s–70s Kimballs become brittle
Do not pay a premium for the Bösendorfer association: it applied to ownership, not construction
Free-to-$500 Kimballs are common, so compare several before committing to one that needs work

Frequently asked questions

How much is a Kimball piano worth?

Used Kimball consoles typically sell for $200–$1,200, studio uprights $500–$1,800, and baby grands $1,500–$4,500. Many older consoles in average condition are given away.

Are Kimball pianos good?

They are honest entry-level pianos. Kimball built for volume and price, so expect a serviceable tone and touch for beginners rather than an instrument a serious player would choose.

Does Kimball still make pianos?

No. Kimball stopped piano production in 1996; the company continued as an office-furniture and electronics business.
