Members sickman Posted October 4, 2006 Members Share Posted October 4, 2006 I'd like to get an acoustic piano or decent keyboard for around 600. Is this possible? I play guitar fairly decently and just want to get the piano to fool around with. I'm not expecting to get anywhere near as proficient on the piano, but certaintly what I know on guitar will help. If I can get something that has some sort of hammond b3 sound, that would be cool too. But, I'd like something that feels like a real piano. What are my options?

Members sickman Posted October 4, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 4, 2006 I need a stand, which would also be more money. How much does a decent piano cost? I'm thinking I should just buy one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to sell a couple of my dumbles, but I could probably swing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sickman Posted October 4, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 4, 2006 Yeah... I think I should just get an acoustic piano. I'm not really expecting to use the thing anywhere other than the house. I just want start fooling around with Beatles songs and stuff like that. I'll take it from there. I don't have the time I did as a kid to put into practicing an instrument. I saw that other piano you posted... pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you search on Ebay from time to time you may beable to find an upright piano that is near you at a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sickman Posted October 5, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 5, 2006 Originally posted by HomeInMyShoes Fair enough. Hey sickman, if you can nab a real piano that's had some reasonable care and you don't mind forking out some cash for a couple of tunings in the first two months and then a couple a year after that I'd go that route. Just be careful with used pianos, it is a bit more due diligence checking for water damage, cracked soundboards and such. OK...I probably should have stated that I'm really looking for an acoustic piano. I think it will better meet my needs. I'll keep an eye out and try to bring someone with me who knows their stuff.
