beginning to piano, which keyboard to buy?
on: August 18, 2009, 05:25:20 PM
hello,
i started to learn playing the piano 5 months ago. i can practice with an acoustic piano in the city i study, but when i move to my hometown in holidays, i want to practice with a keyboard which is easy to carry. i know that practising with a keyboard is different from a piano but i dont have any other option.
so, i'm thinking of buying a few models, here they are:
yamaha e 313
korg pa 80
what about the brand "hammer"?
i only need
1. at least 61 full-size keys with Touch Response (touch sensitivity)
2. keys if not hammer action or semi weighted, without a too plastic and light feeling of touch.
yamaha looks as the best option but i dont know i it would satisfy my two needs above. or does it have too many extra features that i dont need and i can buy a cheaper keyboard?
do you have any other brand/model suggestions?
thank you
