if I were you, that I'd want something like this to be what pushes your H into the basement, unless that is what you want too. (And also FWIW, we ended up getting our kids a high-end electronic piano. The touch feels exactly like a real piano, it has pedals and everything. It takes up far, far less space AND... the best part... you can control the volume and/or put in headphones! My oldest will sometimes wake up early and practice in the morning with her headphones on. it is the BEST.)
Good points. I think I’ve decided against getting the piano unless it fits into another room. Not worth the pressure on my H to buy a bed or move into the basement. He complains about being cold in the study so he’ll really be cold in the basement... And also good point about the electronic keyboard with headphones!
