12] Where can I get the best deal on a digital piano?

Prices vary greatly depending on the make and the model, and
the suggested retail price (SRP) can range anywhere from
$1500 to $7000. Don't be daunted by this, though. You can
buy most of these from mail-order houses for substantial
discounts, as much as 50% off the SRP. Some local dealers
may or may not try to match the mail order price. You will
just have to shop around and ask. There are many mail-order
firms. Any copy of the magazines "Keyboard", "Electronic
Musician" or "Piano and Keyboard" will have ads for them.

NOTE:
One thing you will want to consider is, that in some states, a
"Use Tax" law is enforced, which is a sales tax levied on
mailorder purchases made out-of-state and delivered out-of-state.
If you are not aware, you may receive a rude surprize few years down
the road from the Department of Revenue of your state. If you are
found liable to the Use Tax, and did not file a Use Tax return by 15
April of the following year, you may be required to pay up to double
the sales tax amount in taxes, interest, and penalties (Believe me. I
was caught unaware and was forced to pay 2 years after I bought a
digital piano out of state).

You might also want to take a look at the following WWW sites
