Digital piano’s and digital keyboards are offered for sale at a number of websites. Refurbished offerings, close outs, and sale pricing can save at least 10% of listed costs with deals priced at much less. The problem of refurbished digital keyboards is well explained on the Oak Tree Enterprises web site. Beware buying used equipment only to find the digital computer boards are dead or the keys worn out. Still, most of the resellers of used equipment promise the equipment were seldom used or nearly new. This makes used digital keyboards a good buy. The following sites offer refurbished equipment:
