No, you can bring music instruments, one of each, just not too many. Explain your in THE BAND

A tourist cannot work in Mexico, so if they ask, it is just for your pleasure and not to do a job!

Maybe think about the time you'll be bringing it back to the USA. You should have the original receipt with you, or at least, a copy of it.

I have crossed in and out of Baja several times with two guitars and amps.....never an issue....

Good luck tickling the ivories.

Should be fine. Make an invoice/receipt for it just in case.

Rig up a 12 v adapter power cord (it wouldn't have to work) and tell them it is your camp piano! :light:
