How to Find the Best Piano Keyboard for Beginners

One of the most important things for a piano student to have is a good piano keyboard. While there is nothing wrong with a traditional acoustic piano, there are benefits that come with a keyboard that you won't get with an acoustic. Price is definitely one advantage. A standard acoustic piano will cost thousands of dollars, while you can usually obtain a good keyboard for a great deal less than that. Keyboards are portable, which is a big plus for the piano student on the go!

There are lots of different digital keyboards out there, from many different manufacturers. You'll find that they range from cheap to expensive, depending on their various features. One of the most important considerations is to choose a keyboard that has 88 keys, which is the amount of keys that a regular acoustic piano has. Graded hammer keys are also important and provide both the sound and feel of an acoustic. Here are a few basic models that have these features and more:

Yamaha CP33: For $1299, this digital keyboard can be yours. It comes with the ever important 88 graded hammer keys, as well as many other great features. They include 28 voices, reverb, and even MIDI functions. You can attach up to four foot pedals to this keyboard as well. This digital piano gives you the beautiful quality sound of a grand piano in a convenient and portable digital format!

Roland FP5: This digital keyboard costs around $1,495 and comes with lots of great benefits. Stereo sampled piano sounds, 88 progressive hammer action keys and a built in speaker system are only a few benefits of this incredible keyboard. You can attach three pedals to this keyboard as well, for ultimate realism and an acoustic piano experience. This keyboard is affordable, versatile, and ideal for beginners and advanced pianists alike.

Casio PX-575R: For beginners on a budget, the Casio PX-575R is ideal. You get 88 hammer graded keys, lots of presets and rythyms, 2-way bass reflex speakers and so much more. This digital keyboard is lightweight yet high quality, and only costs around $799 making it one of the most affordable models on the market.

When shopping for a piano keyboard, try to test it out before buying if at all possible. If you go to a music store or department store, you can usually do this. You'll want to make sure you're comfortable with a keyboard before making a purchase. For more information, follow the links on this page or click the graphic in the navigation menu on the right.
