Purchasing an electronic keyboard
on: September 26, 2005, 04:39:57 AM
My name is Bernadette and I am hoping some of you out there may be able to assist me.  I am shopping around for an electronic keyboard because I wish to learn the piano.  There are so many different models with different features out there that I hardly know where to begin.  Out of curiosity I would like to know if any of you have electronic piano keyboards and what your opinion is of it.

I would be especially interested to know what brand it is eg Casio, Roland, Yamaha etc.
How you would rate it in terms of sound quality, excellent, very good, good, okay, poor.
Its model number?
How many keys it has?
Are the keys touch sensitive?
What is its weight?
How easy it is to carry around eg light, medium, heavy
Whether it can be operated by power, battery or both
Does it have an inbuilt lesson feature and if yes what is your opinion of it?
Would you recommend it for someone who wishes to learn the piano?

Any assistance you can give me please would be much appreciated.

There are tons of threads on this topic in the instrument section.
Use the search engine and simply put digital piano.

Good luck.

Hopefully they'll find the 3 identical threads they've started in different sections of the forum that already have replies.
