5] Should I buy a digital piano or an acoustic piano?

The technology of digital pianos has made some impressive
strides in the last couple of years. For between $2000 and
$3000 (at the best available discounts), you can get some
fairly satisfying instruments. However, the current state of
the art isn't perfect (yet :-) ), and for those prices you
can pick up a decent used acoustic piano. If your situation
doesn't require the advantages of a digital piano (relative
portability, and the option of practicing silently with
headphones are the big ones), you might be happier hunting
down a good deal on a new or used upright. If you really
want to splurge, you can get something like a Yamaha Silent
Series, which is an acoustic piano with the digital piano
silencing capability added. You get the best of both worlds,
but you also pay the price.
