    Do you know if you want 61 keys or 88 keys?

      88 keys

    Is this for a beginning piano player, or experienced player?  ie, do they need built in lessons?

      experienced player

    If the piano is for an experience player, an 88-key keyboard is a must.  Weighted keys are also important so that playing has a natural feel.

    Depending on what a person is looking for, think about the following: Permanent stand or foldable/portable stand; headphones; weight (portability)

    Does the person need a bench (permanent or portable), does the person need a case, how many different tones do they want (piano, electric, harp, etc)?
