Piano...

puppynut5 · 03-26-2006, 09:51 AM

I played the piano for 9 year I haven't played for a while since I'm in the military now but I was thinking about buying a keyboard. Does anyone know of a decent one cause I've never been to fond of them and stuck to an actual piano. But I'd like to be playing something. Any help would be great.

I had a quick look around my nearest music store's website, and this is probably my favourite keyboard out of their selection. It's probably not the best out there, but it's a good make and has 76 keys.
Remember, when buying a keyboard, check how many keys it has. Most keyboards only have 61 keys, whereas a full size piano normally has 76 (I think). Having less keys could limit the number of pieces you can play (for example, I'm practising a piece of music that uses the second lowest note on the full size piano).

If only I could improve my piano skills.... so that I can play my favorite songs of Bee Gees, and Chicago

Yah a real piano has 88 keys... But 76 is pretty good. You can't beat the feel of a real piano and I remembered when I was taking lessons from a friend at a college I had a grand piano at my disposal. That was nice. But I'll check it out thanks for your help.
