Does anyone here play the piano? My daughter is starting lessons this term so have been going down the rabbit hole of reviews to see what is the best to get for her to practise at home. I'm probably also going to try and learn it as well. Doesn't look like many sales on them and no one near by selling good second hand ones.

Funnily enough, we used to have a piano. We ended up taking it to the tip because we absolutely could not give the thing away, nobody wanted it.

My advice would be an electric keyboard with weighted keys, they feel pretty damn close to the real thing, and are a much more versatile instrument.

Yeah digital piano or keyboard is the plan, don't have space for an upright or the means to move one. I've seen a few people giving away old uprights but it's just not worth it for us, plus it'll need tuning and maintenance.

I do really want a full 88 key with weighted keys, but the price is a bit too much for now. Not sure what to compromise on at the moment.
