''Many of our customers do not play the piano and neither does anyone else in the family, but they just want this fixture in their home.'' ''Grand pianos have sort of become a Yuppie symbol the last couple of years, much like a Volvo in the driveway,'' observed Marty Flinn, district manager for San Bruno, Calif.-based Sherman Clay & Co., the nation`s biggest piano chain. While Steinways tend to go up in price the most, many others also appreciate or at least hold their value. Grand pianos generally appreciate more than verticals, and higher-quality pianos increase more in value than less expensive ones. A Kimball spinet that sold for $600 in 1975 now is worth $1,800. The Baldwin Acrosonic, a quality spinet piano, was priced at $400 about 40 years ago and lately has brought $1,400.
