I'm now beginning to learn how to play the piano and I want to buy a keyboard-which is best?

Question

Which one is the best,or which brand?....I want one for beginners,intermediates etc-not only beginners....please help me

Answer 1

If you are a piano-player looking for a keyboard, get something with weighted keys if you want the piano-effect. If you are a keyboard player, then weighted keys may not be a priority.

I would recommend at least the 60-some key keyboards for a beginner/intermediate.

Yamaha makes some decent instruments for beginner to intermediate level, and they are reasonably priced (compared to the general market) I can't recommend any specific models though.

I would suggest reading a book or talking to someone in a music store about what would be best for you.

Answer 2

if you truely want to continue playing don't buy a keyboard. keyboards give you the wrong technique.
buy either an upright or baby grand or grand. i have a SAMICK and after 10+ years its still in very good shape and sounds better than many other pianos. but the older samicks like mine were made in japan or korea... whereas now they're made mainly in indonesia or malasiya or somewhere, so the type of wood used will be different, therefore a different sound and duribility and such.
ESSEX a brand that came from steinway & sons is really good if you don't mind it being a bit pricey. its easier to control not only the keys but dynamics and feeling too. it sounds sooo beautiful and just this soothing mellow sound when you want it but this happy dance sound when you apply it. i've tried the baby grand for this, and not an upright but i'm sure that will be well made too.
of course one of the best pianos or higher levels and such are the 9' grand STEINWAYS.
YAMAHA and PETROF are the more common ones you will probably encounter. yamahas are pretty good, but the sound is a bit too chirpy to me and the keys are light. petrofs are good at first, but then as time goes, the sound if you don't keep it really well tuned goes a bit *egh*. the keys also get looser as time passes too.
YOUNG CHANG my teacher has one and sounds greats, great touch as well. i think around 10 years as well and as long as you tune it regularly it would be in fine shape.

overall if i was to get a new piano i would most likely get a essex grand

Answer 3

Well I have a 62 key keyboard Casio. It is nice and basic and costs about $100. I thought it was a goog deal.
