Anyone know a music shop or other store that would sell a piano keyboard or guitar? I'm not wanting to spend more than $100 on each. The only place I knew was plaza lama in SD and that was a negative.

8 1/2 independencia, there is a music shop opposite KFC (on the right) before PizzaHut on the left heading out of the city. You'll get a really crappy guitar, maybe!, but you won't find a keyboard for $100. There is also a music store on the second floor in Plaza Central., I've seen ok guitars in there for 7,000RD$, but still bottom of the rack in quality and double what you want to spend.
Are you beginning or already play? A $100 guitar will be really bad quality, and sound terrible.
Consider second hand, pop to one of the university canteens and have a look on the notice board for sales.

There is a music shop on the ground floor, Bella Vista mall. A good guitar goes for around 15000-17000DOP.
Like it's been already said, you can't get a quality keyboard for less than 100US.

The Blue Mall has a Casio store (think on the 5th floor). They import Keyboards from Panama. A hammered, 8 octave (88keys) keyboard sells from 58k DOP.

And on that note, if anyone knows of a christmas concert (classical type) being held anywhere in the city, kindly let me know.

Good luck!

I believe there was a directory listing of music stores in the DR on this thread earlier. Did it get deleted? If someone has the link can you pm me please?

thanks!

It will take a little effort, but you can sometimes find some good buys on guitars and such at the Compra-Ventas (pawnshops) especially in the tourist areas. My brother-in-law picked up a very nice Yamaha acoustic guitar a few years ago at a compra venta in Sosua for about $75 usd with case.
