Yes, I was thinking of buying a digital one. But since I have never had a "real" piano (whether upright or big one), and since I saw an offer of 40€ from a used one with the possibility to try it out... I have to catch the train!So you think it will work, isn't it? I'll try then!!! If it didn't work, I would have a beautiful piece of furniture in all cases Thank you!
I wasn't talking about a digital piano, I was talking about an acoustic piano with a digital silent system fitted. This way, you get the best of both worlds: a real acoustic piano whenever you can play at normal volume (the neighbours must put up with some music) and a digital one played through headphones (but with the keyboard and action of the "real" piano) for the times when your neighbours need some peace.Do be careful with a piano that's selling for 40€. You'll already need to pay much more than that just to have it moved, and only a piano technician can tell you how much it will cost to put it into shape for regular playing, or even if that's feasible. You may play it, see that all the notes work but that it's out of tune, and think "it just needs tuning". Then the tuner tells you that it won't hold it's pitch because the pinblock is cracked, or that strings are rusted and trying to bring them up to pitch will probably result in several of them breaking, and that it not worth repairing. So you end up with a useless piece of furniture that already cost you a few hundred Euros and will cost even more to get rid of, unless you can find a sucker who will buy it from you for 40 €...The essential advice that's always offered here and on other forums is this: get a piano technician to look at the piano before you make the decision to buy or not.
