Piano wanted

eman66

I'm looking for a decent second hand piano for my son. He's doing well at the lessons and in January his teacher told me that he really should move on from the keyboard he's using to a real piano. The problem is money. Right now, I don't have a lot. In a shop you're talking a couple of thousand to start and more for one that's any good. I've been getting the Dealer every week for the last few months and have looked at some but haven't found anything suitable yet. Nothing on Adverts either. I need to get the finger out because he has told me, and it's obvious, that he's getting frustrated with the limitations of the keyboard.

If anyone has a piano for sale or knows of one that is for sale I'd be delighted if you would let me know.

Thanks.

(Hope this is ok in here. I would hope to find something locally due to the cost of transporting the paino.)

Wish I could play it, its a great instrument.

Have you thought about an electronic one, not a Keyboard and there is a difference. They look more like a small piano and aren't synthasised.

They are the full job but smaller and cheaper, I know Reynolds in Raphoe sell them and Hendersons in Derry too. Hendersons may have second hand real pianos too. They are on the waterside in Derry as far as I know.

The might not look as great as a grand piano but are very good and have a full size keyboard, easier stored and transported and much cheaper and don't have the tuning problems

Keep an eye out on www.dublinwaste.ie or www.gumtree.ie, there are always people giving away pianos as long as you can organize collection.

Thanks donegalman. The teacher said to me that normally at this stage he would recommend a clavinova or similar digital piano but if I could I should get him an acoustic piano as he doing really well and would benefit from a real one. I'll will have to go with a digital if I can't source an acoustic soon.
