Pianos are expensive, but electronic keyboards are cheap. Buy the boy a lower-end keyboard and have him start experimenting. You can always upgrade to a more expensive keyboard as the years progress.
I agree with the idea of exposing your son to all types of music. I would recommend Mozart since his music is highly mathematical. Give him some good exposure to classical music, just so he understands how the modern styles developed.
Try out this video of mathematically precise keyboard work. (Does the guy playing keyboard look like he is stimming?)
