700 pound for a electric Piano... ouch.

making it the most expensive musical item I've ever bought. the second most was a 400 pound electric guitar (bargain though)..

whats the most you've ever spent on an instrument?

I spent £300 on a second hand keyboard once and also £300 for my Washburn SB-5 electric guitar (also second hand). [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

£750 for a blue Gibson Les Paul Studio... It looked, sounded and played beautifully.

Although that was when I was in drop-D tuned, grunge mode and had hair down to my waist, a goatee and wore shorts.

Still wear shorts mind you, just have cropped hair, no goatee and a beat-up Tanglewood acoustic [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

my mother spent $145 on a Ruggeri violin, worth about 60,000-80,000. Guess she got a steal!
