In Rosedale, start by deciding how much room you can give the instrument and how often someone will practice.

At Front Porch Music, California Keyboards Music Center, and Nick Rail Music, you can see options in person and compare how the keys feel. An acoustic piano carries sound through a home, so agree on practice hours that work for household members and nearby neighbors. Keep the keys clean and have an acoustic piano tuned as needed.
