jenniferlee Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I don't know anything about music or instruments, but I'm ready to get my kids started on piano lessons and so we need to get something. I'm not going to get a real piano, so I need a keyboard, right? I want to get one that will sound nice and encourage the kids to play. So what am I looking at? I'm afraid to go to a store and ask, because they just want to sell you something. I'm fine buying used, but I don't know where to start. Thank you all so much!

Aggie Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 You'll get good information here! But you can get information from the stores, too. Let them know you're just looking. Let the kids try several. Talk to piano teachers and get their opinions, too. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapiti Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 IMO, what you want is a "digital piano" rather than just a keyboard. With 88 weighted keys, in the correct size, and pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaMa2005 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 We are getting ready to upgrade DS's keyboard and this is what we are going to buy - http://www.amazon.com/Casio-PX-130-88-Key-Digital-Stage/dp/B002IVK0FE - it has come highly recommended from DS's piano teacher as well as the woman who is in charge of the enrichment program that teaches many children to play piano. We have been told it will last for YEARS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
