<p>We got our son a keyboard when he began taking music theory. He is not a pianist. It is not the full-size model, but a few keys down. Hopefully you understand what I am saying because I don’t know how to describe it otherwise. He just put it next to his dorm room desk like an “L” extension and it did not seem to take up much space. If necessary, it could easily be stored under the bed and the “X” type stand took up no space.</p>
