Buying

Buying across Amazon stores

Every product on this site was checked market by market. The spreads are larger than most buyers expect, and they are not random.

By

The spread is real and it is large

In this catalog the recorded prices put a keyboard at 205 € in Germany and $573 on the American store, and a piano at 699 € in Germany against 935 € in Spain. Same reference, same product.

An absent offer is not a defect

Several Fender and Yamaha products in this catalog have no US offer at all. That reflects how those makers sell in their home market, not the quality of the instrument.

What we do about it

Every price on this site is read per market and any figure that looks like a reshipped third-party offer is discarded rather than published. Where a market has no offer, the link goes to a local search.

What you should do about it

Check your own store before ordering, and be suspicious of a price that is double the cheapest European figure. It is usually a reseller, and the delivery time tells you the same thing.

The questions players ask

Why is the same item double the price in another country?

Usually because there is no Amazon offer there and a third-party reseller is shipping it in. The measurement is right; the offer is different. Our price tool discards figures like that rather than publishing them.

What happens if a product is not sold in my country?

Our links send you to a local search rather than to a page that does not exist. That is deliberate: a dead product page is worse than a search.

The gear this assumes

Everything above works with what you already own. These are the products we would reach for, and each links to the full review rather than straight to a shop.

  • Keyboards & synths

    Casio Casiotone CT-S1

    61 touch-sensitive keys · 61 sounds · no auto-accompaniment

    A keyboard built like a piano rather than like an arranger: 61 touch-sensitive keys, 61 sounds, and deliberately no accompaniment styles. Music rest and power adapter are included; the pedal is not.

    Best for: Someone who wants piano sounds and 61 keys without an arranger’s menus.

  • Digital pianos

    Yamaha ARIUS YDP-105

    88 GHS keys · three pedals · console cabinet

    A console piano rather than a portable one: 88 Graded Hammer Standard keys, three pedals and a cabinet that stays where you put it. Yamaha also fits a volume limiter, which sets a ceiling on output.

    Best for: A permanent practice piano in a room where it can stay assembled.

  • Electronic drum kits

    Alesis Turbo Mesh Kit

    7-piece mesh · 10 kits · 30 play-along tracks

    The smaller Alesis mesh kit: an 8-inch snare, three 8-inch mesh toms, three 10-inch cymbals and Alesis-made hi-hat and kick pedals, with a steel rack and 100 free Melodics lessons.

    Best for: A first kit for a child or a beginner where mesh heads matter more than sound count.
