What Kind of Piano or Keyboard Do I Need?
For a piano, I recommend that you play it before you buy it because all pianos have a different “feel” when you play it. I also recommend that if you shop for a used one that you have a tuner look at it before you make your final purchase because older pianos might look pretty and sound great, but sometimes the inside of them have not been taken care of and it might not be able to stay tuned, or there might be damage you don’t know about.
For a keyboard, I recommend at least 61 keys with touch sensitivity. My preferred brand is Yamaha. Keyboards are inexpensive to purchase if you don’t have an instrument to practice on:
Here are my 3 recommendations:
Inexpensive Portable Keyboard
This keyboard is portable so you can play for your friends and family anywhere. This has great sound quality for the low price! And, with 61 keys it’s perfect for beginners.
76 Key Digital Piano
This keyboard is terrific if you want a keyboard that you won’t outgrow fast as your skills improve. This keyboard has plenty of room for you to progress so you can reach more notes and even better, this keyboard has “weighted keys” which improves sound quality so you can sound like a Pro right away!
Full Size 88 Key Digital Piano
With this beautiful piano-like keyboard you’ll never outgrow it! This digital piano is fantastic! It has all 88 keys and has the look, touch, sound and feel of a real piano without the high cost and maintenance of an acoustic piano.
