Hold the strike-through still and the badge is just the price restated. Hold the brand still and the badge barely moves at all.
We read 174 guitar, ukulele and keyboard listings from Flipkart's own search results on 22 October 2026. One brand, BLUEBERRY, prints a stated MRP of Rs. 6,990 on sixteen of them and sells those sixteen at sixteen different prices from Rs. 1,331 to Rs. 2,589. Meanwhile all 19 Yamaha and Casio listings on the shelf are badged between 3% and 15%, and all 39 BLUEBERRY listings between 57% and 81% - two ranges that never meet. Underneath both sits a third problem: 39 of the 62 "musical keyboard" listings are 37-key units with a median price of Rs. 661, and 32 of them call themselves toys.
Every price below was pulled from Flipkart on October 22, 2026 and checked against the MRP on the listing. Stack them with the live codes on our Flipkart coupons page, which the deals desk re-verifies daily.

3% on a Rs. 6,601 guitalele, 81% on a Rs. 1,331 ukulele, and the thin band between 16% and 40% where almost nothing sits.
Rs. 2,226, stated Rs. 3,499, badged 36%, 4 stars from 21 ratings published by Flipkart

First, check the key count before you look at anything else. A "musical keyboard" under about Rs. 1,500 on this shelf is almost always a 37-key or 22-key unit, and 32 of the 39 such listings say "kids", "toy", "baby" or "junior" in their own titles. The cheapest 61-key instrument in the whole read is Rs. 3,399. Second, group by stated MRP before comparing badges. Rs. 6,990 is printed by 17 listings at sixteen prices; two listings in one column can only differ by price, and two in different columns cannot be compared by badge at all. Third, check whether the rating count is shared. Thirteen BLUEBERRY listings all report 3,191 ratings and six more all report 7,827 - one pool shown many times, which is routine for a product listed under several names but will badly mislead a count. Fourth, remember what a listing page cannot tell you. Nothing here was tuned or played; there is no assessment of tone, action, intonation or tuning stability, and a ukulele at Rs. 1,331 and one at Rs. 6,601 are not being ranked against each other on sound.

Each selling price, stated MRP, discount badge, star average and rating count on this page came from the product data flipkart.com itself serves on its search results, read on 22 October 2026, logged out, from India, with nothing purchased and customer service not contacted. Three queries — acoustic guitar, ukulele and musical keyboard, two pages each — returned 174 unique listings; 26 are seated below. Every count, median and range quoted anywhere on this page is computed over all 174 rows, not over the 26 shown.
Both central claims on this page are computed. Across 174 listings there are 155 distinct selling prices and only 74 distinct stated MRPs; Rs. 6,990 alone is printed by 17 listings, sixteen of them BLUEBERRY's, at sixteen different prices from Rs. 1,331 to Rs. 2,589. On the brand split, all 19 YAMAHA and CASIO listings badge between 3% and 15% (median 12%) while all 39 BLUEBERRY listings badge between 57% and 81% — the two ranges do not overlap at any point.
A single median across the keyboard shelf would be meaningless, so we counted the groups separately. 39 of the 62 keyboard listings are 37-key or 22-key units with a median price of Rs. 661, and 32 of those 39 name "kids", "toy", "baby" or "junior" in their own titles. The 22 listings at 61 or 49 keys have a median of Rs. 10,127. We flag that contamination as the page's subject rather than burying it, because the query's own Rs. 729 median describes neither group.
152 of the 174 listings publish a star average and a review count; 22 publish neither and those cards carry no pill. The median pool is 513 and the deepest is 66,181. Where several listings report an identical rating count — thirteen BLUEBERRY listings all showing 3,191, and six more all showing 7,827 — we say so, because that is the ordinary fingerprint of one product listed under several titles and it means the pool is one pool.
Nothing here was bought, unboxed, tuned or played, and no claim is made about tone, intonation, action, build quality, tuning stability or how any of it holds up. "Rosewood", "Tonewood", "Semi-Acoustic" and the rest are the listings' own printed descriptions, reproduced here and not independently verified. A stated MRP is the figure a listing prints, and nothing on this page says any of these figures is false or improper.
The median is Rs. 2,356 and the guitar shelf runs Rs. 755 to Rs. 10,500. Across the 59 acoustic guitar listings flipkart.com returned on 22 October 2026, the median badge was 64%. But the badge and the brand pull hard in opposite directions: the cheapest Yamaha guitar here is Rs. 6,999 badged 12%, while BLUEBERRY guitars sell from Rs. 1,818 badged 77%. The single best-reviewed listing on the whole shelf is a REVEL cutaway kit at Rs. 2,100 with 66,181 ratings — 129 times the shelf's median review pool of 513.
Because one brand prints it on sixteen separate listings. BLUEBERRY carries a stated MRP of Rs. 6,990 on sixteen of its listings in this read and sells them at sixteen different prices, from Rs. 1,331 to Rs. 2,589 — badged 81% down to 63%. Since the strike-through never moves inside that column, the badge is simply the price restated as a percentage and carries no information the rupee figure does not. BLUEBERRY runs two more columns the same way, at Rs. 7,990 (eight listings) and Rs. 6,995 (six). A stated MRP is the figure a listing prints; nothing here says any of these figures is improper.
On this shelf they simply are not: all 19 Yamaha and Casio listings are badged between 3% and 15%, median 12%. That range does not overlap BLUEBERRY's 57%-to-81% at any point. The practical consequence is that sorting Flipkart by discount will never show you a Yamaha, and sorting by price will not either, because the cheapest Yamaha in this read is Rs. 4,799. We make no claim about which is the better instrument — nothing here was played — only that the badge column and the brand column are telling you different things.
The listings themselves answer this: 32 of the 39 cheap keyboards in this read put "kids", "toy", "baby" or "junior" in their own titles. Flipkart's musical keyboard query returns two quite different products. 39 of the 62 listings are 37-key or 22-key units with a median price of Rs. 661; the 22 listings at 61 or 49 keys have a median of Rs. 10,127. The cheapest 61-key keyboard in the entire read is Rs. 3,399. If you are buying for an adult beginner, that is the figure to compare against — the shelf's own Rs. 729 median describes neither group.
It means the stated MRP is about five times the selling price. The deepest badge in this read is 81% on a BLUEBERRY soprano ukulele at Rs. 1,331 against a stated Rs. 6,990 — a 5.25x multiple, where the shelf median is 2.61x. The shallowest is 3% on an ACOUSTONE guitalele at Rs. 6,601. The badge is arithmetic performed on two numbers the listing itself prints, not a measure of what the instrument is worth, and the 78 points between those two tell you nothing about either. These were the figures on 22 October 2026; check the live listing before buying.
