Hello - Intro and request for advice.

Hello,

I'm finally starting to get going with playing the piano. I've been sat behind the drums for a fair while now and am looking to take the plunge. However, I've done a little bit of research and I know the main contenders for each price point but don't know where best to start:

M-Audio Keystation 88es
Korg SP170
Roland 301R

The question is; obviously as a beginner, I want something good on which I can learn but if its not my thing I don't want to have outset a lot. On the other hand I understand that you can be put off by a inferior quality instrument.

The roland has everything I want, looks, action and 5 levels of sensitivity.

Any additional information/questions or things I need to know is more than appreciated.

Cheers,

Gordon.

hi Gordon and welcome !

Well, you have three totally different pianos from one another there. The m-Audio os actually a controller not really a piano so I think you can drop that one.

The Sp170 is a half decent entry level keyboard.

The Roland 301 is a digital piano with a furniture enclosure, sort to speak.

I think you need to narrow down the type of digital piano you want most.

That said, if the Roland is everything you want and you have the money ? You could do far worse !
