If you are looking for a used piano or keyboard, check craigslist. These start around $300 and up. For beginners looking for a first time keyboard, suitable for piano lessons, I recommend purchasing one with weighted or hammer action keys. This is very important for muscle and tone and development, as piano is a percussion/string instrument. Most instruments will have all 88 keys, this is also nice. In addition you will need a stand, and bench so as to maintain a proper piano position while playing and practicing. If you are looking for a first time piano, look for one that has been maintained and tuned regularly, this will mean less of a cost to you at your first piano maintenance/tuning appointment. I recommend tuning/maintenance on an annual basis, so as to keep your piano sounding good and running properly.
If you are looking for a new keyboard, check Mammoth Music by the Diamond Mall, they will price match, so make sure to check the online price of the keyboard you want. Also Best Buy in the Diamond Mall, has a music section with keyboards, they will price match some items also. Costco, in the Fall and up until Christmas, usually carriers a few models of weighted key, keyboards.
Finally if you have any questions at all about purchasing a piano or keyboard, please feel to ask me, I will do my best to help you find an instrument suitable for your musical journeys. [email protected]
