Hi, I'm 13 and I've been putting off playing the piano for some years and now I'm afraid it's too late to start. My urge to play the piano came back really strong about 6 months ago when I briefly took up guitar. My brother, who plays bass, was helping me a bit, but I just couldn't find the passion. I realised then that piano is something I'd really like to learn - am I too old to start learning at 13 though?

No. Find a good piano teacher and get started.

No way José, you are not too old to learn. Picking it up at 13 is way better than picking it up at 30. I would just advise you to be sure that the piano is the instrument you really wanna play. It is amazing what sort of things human brains can learn and remember, especially when motivated. When not motivated, I'd suggest trying to get some practice time in anyway; you'll find "Free time" or time to spend by yourself doing what you really wanna do very hard to come by when you reach MY age.

Yeah, my brother's been nagging at me to just find a teacher and stop worrying about my age. He said when he started learning bass he felt like he was way too old, but he says it was worth it. Thanks

Are ya kiddin' me?!?!?! You can do ANYTHING starting at age 13 (with the exception, perhaps, of becoming an Olympic gymnast).
I started teaching a new student a couple months ago...he's 89! He loves it and is doing great.
Go for it! Go for anything! Just pick something you're passionate about and do your best to stick it out during the good and bad times. Learning a new skill like playing piano will be much fun, but will also require patience and discipline.
It's worth it!
Best of luck to you!
