My dream is to have a piano(black piano)! If im going to be a starter, what do u recommend me to buy?

Question

Should I buy a piano or like a keyboard type to learn first?

Answer 1

Hello Nancy,

All other things being equal, a real acoustic piano is always the ideal choice to learn on (there are some great deals out there on good used ones). Besides not being distracted by the 'jukebox' features and other bells and whistles found on many electronic keyboards, there is just no replacement (only substitutes) for the real action and sound of the hammer hitting the strings.

That said, a good digital piano is a good choice as well. You should look for touch sensitive weighted keys (you want it to feel close to a real piano). The two I'd recommend in order are:

1. Yamaha P-90
(The P-120 is the same but with built in speakers)

2. Korg SP-200

Neither one has built in sound, but you'll be able to use headphones right away. And you can add whatever quality of PA system you want beyond that.

This is just based on what I knew from about a year ago and are the ones that I would personally choose if I were you. There are surely other options out there but you can't go wrong with either of those. Good luck!

Answer 2

keyboard first then, if You get interested in another instrument later, You don't have alot invested. a good Baldwin Piano can run around ten thousand.
