First, some info: the piano we have now is from the 1960's and has a broken soundboard. Some of the keys don't like to play (they sometimes do) and others never want to stop. I make the best of it and most pieces I play don't sound bad, but just listening to them on a "normal" working piano makes them sound better. Any suggestions on which brand of piano would be the best? (cabinet/upright types only).

i've heard Yamaha's a pretty good piano's....but I don't know from anything of my experience...I'm still saving up for my piano - I'm getting a yamaha though.
Sorry I wasn't much help....why don't you try going into a local musical instrument shop and asking them; I'm sure their advice would be better than mine!!! 
Love Laura

There is no "best" piano, you need to test different ones to see what you like best. My Wurlitzer is from the 50's and its still in perfect condition, ohh and the best part is it was free!

I have heard (from my piano teacher) that Nordiska may be worth a try if you don't want to spend the money on the name-brands, but still want a quality instrument.

Hi,
it's hard to say which piano is best. Depends on how much you want to spend. if you want to spend less than 5000 dlls. well, in that case yamaha U1 or kawai k3 are very good ones. yamaha is more brilliant and kawai is mellow. both are made in japan. If you want to spend more well then buy a kawai k5
wurlitzer are no longer made in america. avoid spinet pianos.
kawai is a very good option. But the best piano is the one that you play it and you love it, even if it is a korean cheap one. So what you should do is play several pianos at the stores.

I should also mention that our piano is A Baldwin from the sixties that has a broken soundboard. My piano teacher said that when I come to a lesson, we play on high-quality instruments, but I think that our old Baldwin sounds like a true piano, not the like bland, fuzzy-sounding pianos we use at lessons.

Yamaha Clavinova digital piano. Better feel than many acoustics and of course you can practice with headphones.

Not that I'm ignoring everyone else's suggestions, but I've noticed that Bosendorfer has a 97-key piano! I've never heard of this before, but I guess some composers actually wrote notes lower than what a "normal" piano reaches. (I have looked at other pianos, and they all seem to be good, but I won't know until I've actually tried them).

hi,
i found this on wikipedia,it could help you!
Bösendorfer pioneered the extension of the typical 88-key keyboard, creating the Imperial Grand (Model 290), which has 97 keys, and later the Model 225, which has 92. One of the earliest and most important artists to be associated with Bösendorfer was Franz Liszt, who found that their pianos and those of the Bechstein company, were the only instruments capable of withstanding his tremendously powerful playing. Still today Bösendorfer is known as a piano that well withstands the rigors of concert halls and tours.
i have played on bosendorfers with 88 keys many times,awesome pianos!
