Buying an electric piano
on: December 05, 2006, 09:19:54 AM
Hi friends I am thinking of buying an electric piano.I am a beginner and have no experience or knowlege about pianos but I was thinking it might be fun to try to play some songs from my favorite artist like Stevie Wonder.I was looking at getting a Yamaha YPT200

I have limited budget of about $150 and limited space but I'm wondering if it would have enought depth and dynamics to make that kinda music?
Can you give any other advice for a new guy?
Thanks everyone

Depends what you want to do with it in the future. Do you want to stick to Stevie Wonder music, or do you want to learn classical music too?
If it stays with Stevie, you should just try out the piano, compare the sound of the piano with the piano sound on the cd and TRY OUT if the touché of the piano is good enough for you. Summarised, it doesnt have to be a great piano. and 150$ will probably do.
If you think youll seriously focus on classical piano too, you'll have to spend more money than those 150$ and you need some serious advise from an experienced piano-player.
So think about this first before thinking about money.
