We are thinking about getting a piano. Two of my children would like to start lessons. I plan to take lessons as well. I have musical training background but not in playing the piano.
New pianos are very pricey! I see a lot of pianos on craigslist; however, I would be afraid to buy a used piano since I would have no way of identifying what type of condition it was in. It appears that some stores also sell "reconditioned" pianos, but again, I don't know if I'm better off buying new.
For those of you that have pianos, did you buy new or used? What brands are the best? Or did you inherit one and not have a problem getting it fixed or tuned?
I'm trying to do this is in a budget friendly way if possible.
