My 5 year old is taking a piano class at a music school and we need a decent keyboard at home for her to practice. I'd like to get a 61-key one for her, but not spend a fortune. I've looked on ebay and craigslist. I'd prefer new over used, but would consider a used one in great condition. Any suggestions on a good place to shop for a keyboard? We need it fast!

What can I do next?

Please look online and at Home Shopping Network or QVC. I bought my kids one and it's awesome. Can't remember with channel I got it on though.
I have a piano, but it's not easily dragged around from room to room and this one had choices of adding drum beats, etc. It wasn't very expensive and it was on value pay meaning you just paid it off in 3 or 4 interest free payments.
It's a Casio and really cool. You can make it sound like a harpsichord, an organ, you can record things you played. I'm a single mom and it was very affordable and brand new. Came with all the instructions and music booklets. It was a Christmas present one year and my kids love it.
Check the home shopping channels. At least that way you know it will come with everything you need. If I remember, the stand for it was sold seperately, but still very affordable.
They can have it shipped to you in a week...check it out!
Do you have a music store around you that sells used things? That's another place to look.

Best wishes!

We bought a Casio from Best Buy when our daughter was around 4. It was not that expensive and it still works very well.

Daughter plays the violin and often will make songs on the keyboard and then play them on the violin.

It was a good investment. Check the Best Buy Sunday ad because sometimes they have them on special.

Try one of these all in your area: Guitar center or...
call Pickle Piano in Bloomingdale
They have regular pianos but may be able to advise you on electric. (That's what it looks like you want right?) or call Roselle Music.
