As I stated in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushih.com\/archives\/6718\/i-found-a-free-piano-on-craigslist-should-i-take-it\/\">free piano question<\/a>, free and low-cost acoustic pianos tend to have hidden cost that is not listed in the ad. At this price point, you can get a decent new digital piano or a very old and neglected acoustic piano. Which one would you choose?<\/p>\n<p>If you decide to buy a digital piano, I highly recommend entry level Yamaha or Roland digital pianos:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2txXSVF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Roland FP-30<\/strong><\/a> is highly rated by professional reviewers and online shoppers. It costs around $700 (July, 2018).<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2MvhSiL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Yamaha P-125<\/strong><\/a> is cheaper than Roland FP-30 but is also a very good entry-level digital piano. Choose either Roland FP-30 or Yamaha P-125 that feels right to you. Yamaha P-125 costs around $600 (July, 2018).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At this price point, I would avoid other digital piano brands such as Alesis and Casio. Casio&#8217;s digital pianos receive very good reviews online, but personally I can&#8217;t stand the sound of Casio digital pianos. I find Roland and Yamaha digital pianos sound more like real acoustic pianos.<\/p>\n<p><em>This is one of the articles in a series called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/pushih.com\/piano-buying-guide-for-parents-of-young-students\/\">Piano Buying Guide for Parents of Young Students<\/a>&#8220;.
