It may not feel like it, but the Black Friday keyboard, synth, and piano deals will be here in a matter of weeks - and trust me, it pays to be prepared. This is the go-to page to get all the information you need to shop smarter this Cyber Weekend.

I spend a lot of my time scouring music retailers for fantastic deals on my favourite keyboards, pianos, and accessories. Not only is it my job to research and recommend the best gear in our buyer’s guides and reviews, but I am also dedicated to helping musicians get the best deals on the stuff they need, too.

So whether you're a budding pianist looking for the best keyboards for beginners, a producer looking for savings on MIDI keyboards, or a dance fanatic looking for a quality synthesizer, you've come to the right place.

To give you an idea of what to expect, last year saw Sweetwater dish out huge discounts of up to 70% off big-name brands, Musician's Friend had up to 60% off gear, while Guitar Center slashed up to 50% off everything you need to make music.

Black Friday keyboard deals: FAQ

When is Black Friday 2025?

Black Friday 2025 starts on Friday, November 28. Well, that’s the official start date anyway, but the Black Friday keyboard piano deals seem to get earlier every year. We predict we'll start seeing early offers landing from around mid-October.

That doesn’t mean we won’t have some humdingers before then, however - we’ve seen in past years that some retailers simply can’t help themselves and fire off all manner of killer deals over a series of weeks.

Black Friday, of course, is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States and marks the start of the holiday shopping season for tens of thousands of retailers, both online and brick-and-mortar stores. That includes all these cheap Black Friday piano deals we’re keeping an eye on for you.

Cyber Monday is the Monday that directly follows Black Friday, and it often sees further discounts on thousands of products with exclusive online sales. This year, Cyber Monday 2025 takes place on Monday 1st of December, and will last for that day only, so if you see a Cyber Monday keyboard piano deal you like the look of, you have to be quick and bag it before it's too late.

Are pianos on sale during Cyber Weekend?

In short, yes! From Black Friday through to Cyber Monday you are highly likely to see a myriad of deals on digital pianos, stage pianos and even acoustic pianos. Last year was a bumper affair for jaw-dropping savings on some of the biggest names in keys.

You can expect all the big-name musical instrument retailers to get involved, with the likes of Guitar Center, Sweetwater, Musician’s Friend, Amazon and others all firing out their best Black Friday piano deals to tempt you. We're hoping to see great deals on gear from Casio, Moog, Arturia, Roland, Yamaha and many more.

Wondering what makes a good deal, or how you can prepare to shop these sales without getting overwhelmed (or spent out)? Keep reading…

What's the best value digital piano?

When recommending any piece of musical equipment - it’s very difficult not to recommend Yamaha. If we had to choose one digital piano from their range that offers the best value for money, we'd have to go for the Yamaha P-145. Benefiting from Yamaha’s world-famous build quality, this is a seriously good piano for beginners and gigging musicians alike.

If you are looking for a digital upright, we'd suggest looking at the Casio AP-270. This entry-level digital piano punches well above its weight, and in our tests, we found that it offered outstanding sound quality for its wallet-friendly price.

Black Friday sales can be overwhelming, especially if you’re shopping at one of the big retailers as these can often have thousands of products on sale in the space of just a few days. Trust us, it’s easy to feel intimidated by the sheer volume of offers available, so where on earth do you start?

To prepare for the incoming avalanche of Black Friday keyboard piano deals, do your research. Think about exactly what type of instrument you want: keyboard, synth, MIDI, piano, etc, and find out which are the best in that category. Next, set some boundaries around how much you’re willing to spend. It can be easy to get caught up in the moment and overspend. Luckily, you can often search within a specific price bracket at many retailers, so the temptation to blow your budget is less.

If you have no idea of what brand or model you want to buy, and you aren’t constrained by any specific budgets right now, feel free to use our expert buyer’s guides to help you figure out what you need or what to buy for someone else. We recommend starting with these:
