May 03, 2008 by Lizzie H-S | Posted in Hobbies & Crafts

My son has only started piano lessons and we want to get a piano for him to wont on at home. Would it be best to get a digital piano, or a more traditional piano? I distinguish that the digital pianos do not need tuning, which sounds like a big edge.
