piano bench,

How much do you think this electric piano is worth?

This piano (Wurlitzer EP288) is about 20 years old and the owner says he paid about $2000 for it back then. This model is almost impossible to find anything on. I did go and look at it…the bench is not in the best shape and there are some nicks in the wood….the owner says $450 is as low as he is going to go. Is this a reasonable price?

Wow – this looks just like an electric Yamaha I’ve had for a couple years, which sounded very good, though we payed $5000 for it. I’m sorry to say I have never heard of this brand either. I would be a little concerned about this phrase: “It has a limited number of sounds but includes a “pin type” Midi output, and two pedals.”

What does he mean by a limited number of sounds? is he talking about extra things like ‘lightsaber mode’ or ‘violin’ or is he saying the actual tonal range of the piano is limited? this wouldn’t be too good.

If you are going to buy this piano for piano lessons for your son or daughter, I would recommend getting him or her a cheaper non-electric piano. I practiced on the piano I had, and even though it was an upper-end one, and it sounded very good, I could never get over the feel of the keys. I found it hard to play softly, because the keys were too easy to push down, and didn’t respond the same way as a real piano’s keys. I found myself playing much better when I went to practice my teacher, the piano made that much of a difference.

Well, this is just what I recommend, I really don’t know if i would buy a $450 piano, but I’m sure it depends on your budget and purpose. I hope this helps
