$500 · Roland Piano with Weighted Keys and Integrated Pedals (HP 1700)

This workhorse of a piano is suitable for beginners and experienced musicians alike. As a pianist who has completed RCM Grade 10, I wanted a digital piano that felt and sounded like an acoustic piano but could be played with headphones or on a quieter setting so that I could practice at night. This Roland does not disappoint. The weighted keys are responsive and feel comparable to an acoustic piano. MIDI capabilities. Plus it does not need to be tuned! Also comes with: - piano bench - wood stand with integrated damper and una corda pedals
