Lidl is selling an electric piano for £60 less than John Lewis – and shoppers love it

BARGAIN supermarket Lidl is selling a Yamaha keyboard for £89.99 - that's £60 less than John Lewis is selling the same model for.

Lidl has launched a new range of musical instruments for "budding Bowies and Ed Sheerans of the future" in a cheeky nod to rival retailer John Lewis' Christmas ad.

John Lewis' festive advert, which launched today, features Sir Elton John singing his first-ever hit - Your Song - on a piano.

To accompany the ad the department store chain is now selling a range of digital pianos, which cost up to £872, as well as t-shirts, CDs and vinyls.

But Lidl today launched its new range with a cheeky advert for the Yamaha YPT-255 that says: "It's a Lidl bit funny" - and shoppers loved it.

Hundreds of Lidl fans commented on its Facebook, with many praising the shop for its advert.

One Facebook user said: "Lidl wins the internet today".

Another added: ";I prefer this advert. Well played Lidl."

It's the cheapest price we've round for the keyboard online, so it really is a bargain.

Other items in the range include an electronic drum kit, which costs £49.99, and a guitar for £49.99.

It is also selling a ukulele (£14,99), recorder (£14.99) and musical instrument set - including a triangle, maracas and tambourine - for £9.99.

As well as a beginner's keyboard for £19.99, a bongo set costing £19.99 and a harmonica for £3.99.
