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.
Don't believe everything you think....

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!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
