I'm going to get a 61 note keyboard, but I was wondering if that would be enough. Could you play most songs on 61 keys? Would it last? If ever I wanted to join a band someday, could I use it?

Yeah you can play most songs on 61 keys but I say get the full 88! Especially if you want to join a band someday. You never know when you might need those extra 27 keys! :)
Piano rocks!

Hey there,
I have a 61 key keyboard and I've never been limited to playing any songs. Every one I know are playable on a 61 key.
Hope this helps!

It will be enough for beginning, but only if you're not going to take it seriously (As in career wise). Yes, it's possible to get on with a small keyboard and then later on move up to a bigger one and still take it seriously as music student/career, I've managed that. But that would require a lot of hard work and catching up when you finally move to a bigger keyboard. There will be pieces that will extend past the 61 keys but I'm sure there's many within the limit! Best of luck.

Well a piano has 88 but 61 would be sufficiant for a keyboard

yes 61 keys is nice for fast setup and all that but it is a bother because I like playing octaves in the base to cover the base line and 61 note keyboards you do not have that. full 88 keys!!! yea that is style!

I bet you can play 99% of pop stuff on 61 keys - classical stuff doesn't go to the extreme end of 88 all that much

I have a 61 keys--yes you can play songs--but professionally???m I would reccommend more for quality purposes--you need the extra keys for your bass end

Have you ever played the song "Dizzy Fingers"? It's a lot of fun to play and just one of many songs that require all eight octaves. Good luck.

yes, yes, and yes. And, if you join a band you have to tote the thing around, and it will weigh less than 80 keys.
