NEVER go to walmart for anything especially that kind of thing go to a music store you might pay a little more but if you take care of it, it will last you a life time.

Depends...
Usually the music store will offer to help you with it and have better packages and Walmarts products usually are cheaper but lack vital components that they make you special purchase like the adapter or the plug!
So unless you have a butt load of D batteries. Make sure that if you go cheaper, that everything you need comes with. If it is the same exact product and the same brand with everything included, but cheaper... It doesn't matter where you get it really. Walmart offers product insurance where it is available.

there is so much more dynamic range and touch and feel and sensitivity related issues related to how hard you touch the keys and what sound you get out of them when playing the real piano as opposed to a keyboard that i would start him on a real piano if he really wants to play. otherwise, if he shows talent and transitions to the piano afterwards, he will have issues with dynamics and soft vs. light touch on the keys and the different sounds they produce that it will be just like starting over and learning again......having said that, there are alot of keyboards of there now that have touch sensitive dynamic keys....but, they are probably out of the price range that a beginner is going to lay out for an intial instrument. rent a piano from a store or dealer....it will be cheaper than buying one, he will get to learn on a real instrument with a real dynamic range and touch sensitive and percussive keys, and if he doesn't have it and gives it up, you can return the piano without having had to purchase one and then be stuck with it. and don't listen to the one above who says he's too young....it's the optimal time to get him started if he wants....i started on keys and guitar at 5 and then sax and clarinet at 7 and it was the best thing that could have ever happened to me....it will help his cognitive, hand/eye and analytical development more than anything else that you could do

Buy from Wal-Mart. They employ many more people than the mom and pop music store who will rip you off with a higher price.
It's a freakin Yamaha. It will work the same no matter where you buy it!
Pay more at the music store if you are a socialist and want to feel good about yourself. Pay less at Wal-Mart if your a capitalist and want a good deal.

I would never shop at WalMart because they actively support slavery by doing business with slave-owning companies in China.
I, personally prefer speaking with someone who is knowledgable about a product before I buy a keyboard. that's why I get my music supplies from a music store.

Wal Mart is NOT an option! Do not go there! (Do you feel the influence of my Jedi mind trick?)
Support the local guy who has real products, merchandise and the support you really need!
