Musical instruments in India: prices and what to check

Updated 31 October 2026

In India a beginner acoustic guitar costs roughly ₹2,100 to ₹2,400, a 61-key keyboard between ₹3,300 and ₹9,445, and a digital piano with bench and home installation about ₹2,42,990. Send a request on BlaBlaPrice to get current offers for the instrument you want from sellers in your city.

Warranty and what to check

Listings from Indian sellers often give a manufacturer's guarantee of 24 months on hidden material flaws and manufacturing defects. Some sellers also sell a premium warranty of one or two years, which can only be bought at the time of purchase. Check which of the two you are getting before you pay, and keep the invoice with the serial number.

Humidity and the season

India's climate is tropical: hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer. Humidity in the wet season can swell the wood of an acoustic guitar or warp its neck, so ask for a case with humidity control and keep the instrument away from open windows. Keyboards and digital pianos are less affected, but a piano needs a fixed place in the room, which you should measure before you order.

Delivery and how instruments are bought here

Some listings include delivery and installation, as the digital piano offer with home installation does. For everything else, ask whether GST and delivery to your city are included in the price. Give the box size in centimetres and the weight in kilograms when you ask for a delivery quote, because a grand piano or a drum kit cannot travel like a guitar. Tell the seller whether you are in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai, because the delivery cost depends on the city.

Flying with an instrument

India has no single national rule for carrying instruments on flights, and each airline sets its own policy. Small instruments such as a violin, flute, ukulele or harmonica can go in cabin baggage on Indian flights if they fit 55 x 35 x 25 cm and weigh up to 7 kg. Check the airline before you fly with anything larger.

What to write in your request

Name the instrument and the level (beginner, student or professional), the brand if you have one, and whether you want it new or used. For keyboards say how many keys you need. For guitars say whether you want acoustic, electric or bass, and whether a case, strap or amplifier should be included. Add your city and your budget in rupees.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the instrument in your own words in the chat, and add a photo if it is a used one. The system asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in India, and shows the prices and shops it finds. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own price and terms, and your contact details stay hidden until you decide to share them. Browse acoustic guitars and pianos, or start from the request page.
