Digital piano shops in Sydney

Looking for shops to buy a digital piano in Sydney (or if its online, Australia wide)

I live in Sydney city area. The only piano shop I know is Allans music in CBD. I would like to check out other shops to buy a digital piano.

I am looking for the obvious things like variety of products to try out and good price :) Even if you are not sure about the prices that's ok too, I just need some guide where to look.

Can you suggest a shop or two in the Sydney area? Also if there are online shops Australia wide I would also be grateful.

Thank you

Piano.com.au? They're online, but the real-life shop is in Woolloongong.

I can't make any recommendations, but I can attest that Allans is a total rip. You will inevitably find cheaper at a specialised independent store.

In Melbourne, I'd recommend Manny's. Dunno if they have a Sydney store. Maybe find what you want in Allens (of whom I am also not a big fan), and then check the prices at Manny's online.

Billy Hyde are also big and all over the place, and seem to have a bunch of stores in NSW - though I've never bought anything from them and don't really know how they stack up.

I'm not musical in any way. I do not know the difference between a digital piano and a keyboard.

But I often drive past Music City on Parramatta Road in Petersham (note the signage may say "Drum City" - it's the same place).

Also Carlingford Music is you are a bit more west. They do list a fair few digital pianos including prices.

My friend bought a digital piano in Miranda at Shire Music. There's also a piano shop on Forest Rd in Hurstville. They're both walkable from train stations, if quite some way from the city.
