How much does a beginner piano cost in 1405?

Is a foldable piano good for learning?

It is enough to try the piano and for the first months, but its keys are usually light and unweighted and don't prepare your hands for a real piano. For lessons and regular practice, an 88-key piano with weighted keys is the better choice.

What are weighted keys on a digital piano?

Keys that resist your fingers the way an acoustic piano's keys do, and on most models the bass keys are slightly heavier than the treble. They are listed under names like Hammer Action or Graded Hammer; the Yamaha P-45 and the Roland FP-30X have them.

Piano prices for beginners in 1405: which piano to start on

You don't need the most expensive piano to start, but the cheapest isn't always the right buy either. Using real prices from Mordad to Mehr 1405, this guide shows what a digital piano costs in each class, why weighted keys are the difference that matters most, and what a beginner should buy on each budget.

A piano to start on costs anything from a few tens of millions of toman to nearly half a billion: in the prices we recorded from Mordad to Mehr 1405, the cheapest 88-key digital piano was about 24 million toman and a Yamaha home piano close to 500 million. Most of that gap isn't paying for sound — it's paying for the keys. Know what each class gives you and you'll spend the right amount on a first piano, neither more nor less.

The real difference is the keys, not the sound

Cheap foldable pianos usually have light, unweighted keys: they go down at the slightest touch and all feel equally light. On an acoustic piano each key sets a hammer in motion, which is why it is heavier. A digital piano with weighted keys — listed under names like Hammer Action or Graded Hammer — imitates that feel. The Yamaha P-45 and the Roland FP-30X both have them.

That matters more for a beginner than it sounds. Fingers build strength and control on exactly these keys, and someone who has only practised on light keys finds a teacher's piano, or an acoustic one, heavy and unfamiliar. That is why many piano teachers ask for 88 weighted keys from the start.

What to buy on each budget

To try it out, or for a child who may not stick with it: the budget class is enough. Just know that if it gets serious, you will need another piano sooner or later.
For lessons and regular practice: the floor is a portable piano with 88 weighted keys, such as the Yamaha P-45 or the Roland FP-30X. If the budget won't stretch, a second-hand weighted model is a better choice than a new foldable — as long as you try the keys and the sound before buying.
For a fixed spot at home and years of practice: a home model with a stand and three pedals, such as the Korg B2SP or the Yamaha YDP-145. It stands firm, and its three pedals are the ones an acoustic piano has.

Check these before you buy

88 full-size keys. 61- and 76-key keyboards are cheaper, but they lack part of the piano's range.
Weighted keys, if you plan to take lessons — see above for why.
Touch sensitivity: the harder you play, the louder it sounds. Without it, playing has no expression.
A sustain pedal. The small footswitch some models ship with works, and a piano-style pedal can be bought separately.
A headphone output, so you can practise at night without waking anyone.
A stand and a bench at the right height. Portable models are usually sold without a stand, so budget for the stand and bench too.
