I started learning the piano ~8 months back with my 5 year old daughter, starting with a yamaha digital piano. I didn't think I'd like it but I've really fallen for it and have been practicing consistently 20-30m a day almost without exception.

When I play an acoustic at the store, I can't help but feel FOMO of real strings and authentic sound, especially the bass. This makes me want to make the leap into buying an endgame acoustic piano ($10k+) and never thinking about upgrading again.

Would it be foolish to commit to an expensive acoustic as a beginner? Is there even a "right time" to upgrade? Would love to hear from others' experiences.
