Hello!

My 5 years old kid has been taking piano lessons for a few months and he seems to enjoy it.

I’m thinking of buying a piano for him so that he can practice at home. However, I don’t know much about pianos and I’m not sure what to buy.

I’m looking at digital pianos mostly since they look cheaper and I don’t have much space at home anyway. I did a bit of research on the internet and I understand I should be getting one with weighted keys. Beside that, I don’t know what brand or model to pick.

Do you have any piano recommendation for a kid who is just getting started?

Thanks!

Just a quick note: There is a new Casio design piano (PX-S7000) that costs around 2500. I tried it today and to be frank, it doesn’t bring that much more to the table compared to the USD 500 PX-S1100, so I would not recommend it unless your have extra cash and design is something you value above all else. Good luck finding a good instrument!

Post your piano/keys stuff here. Ripping some Chopin, Beethoven, Bartok, or whoever? Love it. Just got a new Hammond and rotary speaker and want to show it off? Can’t get enough of it. Got a band with a really awesome keyboardist, and want to show them off? Gimme it. Stuck in the orchestra pit with nothing to do for three hours waiting for your one moment of celesta glory on The Magic Flute? I feel your pain. Just discovered Oscar Peterson and want to share your astonishment? Fam, same. Learning piano and got noob questions? I’m here for it. Got an original DX7 and want to show us all how to program new voices? I’ve actually never figured that out, can you teach me too?

Rules:

  1. Don’t be a jerk.
  2. Self-promotion is encouraged, but try to also post stuff that isn’t you.
  3. Be cool about giving and receiving feedback. When in doubt, see r1.
  4. Having fun is mandatory.
