My wife is a musician, and yes we have a baby grand piano, except it is really not a baby as it is a Mason & Hamlin and is the heaviest piano I have ever seen, it is really, really built. I cannot even budge it at all if I try to lift from one leg. Supposedly, if you are not buying a Steinway a rebuilt Mason and Hamlin is supposed to be a good way to go if you want to spend alot of money but not Steinway prices. This was clearly not my decision, but certainly helps a guy when he wants to a spend lots of money on a tractor .

My wife has always made it very clear to me if the Piano goes she goes, such is love! I have had our Monster piano moved by Piano movers 4 times in the last seven years it costs about 3-400 bucks a move and those are very well shopped prices.

I am not a musician and I have been fascinated with the quality of the electronic pianos and their compactness.

My son recently expressed an interest in Guitar so my wife went to a music store to buy him an acoustic guitar, purest that she is. The guitar salesman convinced us that an acoustic guitar was a serious misstake for a kid as it is harder to play, and vastly less fun. He sold my wife on it and my son is a happy camper, I am only happy when the amp is disconnected, acoustic would have been better for me :>(.

While the keyboard of a high quality electric Piano is basically the same as an acoustic alot of the other features on it should increase the fun factor significantly, making it a great place to start for a young player.
