No clue but I know you can search ebay and pick a midi keyboard for under 50$ these days, make sure your soundcard has a MIDI port.

First of all.....Price range? Digital Piano or Synth-type Keyboard (You just want a electric piano or a Keyboard with a shitload of tones and tonewheel and stuff?)

I bought a Yamaha one for like 300 bucks. Its 70 somethin keys. I think it works pretty damn well for the price.

Okay......what is low price?? $200? $300? $400? Name an amount. You're normally not gonna get full sized keys on synths, especially at cheap prices. Full sized, weighted keys are usually only on digital pianos.

Not to mention most synth keyboards have tiny keys.
Although if you're looking for a KEYBOARD you'll have full sized keys and like silent night said that if you pay more money you can get weighted keys. Which are ok if you're going for realisticness.

I'd like to get more details so we know what you want to use it for, etc. I have a Casio PX110 which is an excellent $450-$500 digital piano. I hook it up to my mac via a MIDI to USB converter, and then I can get even more variety of tones on Garageband, by using the keyboard as a midi controller.

well i was thinking of spending no more than £100 second hand if i can help it. full size and weighted would be ideal if possible for that price. Touch sensitive keys would be great aswell. I would like to learn classical piano type stuff but one day i would love to play keyboard in a metal or at least write metal songs using a keyboard as well as guitar.
For now though the keyboard would be mosty used for bedroom practice and for recording onto my laptop using my shure sm57 mic. Thanks

Well I don't think you're gonna get any fullsized weighted keys at that price. Brand new ones with that spec cost around $400, and so it'd be hard even to find it used.

Check out the Yamaha PSRE303. Maybe you can find one used for around your price range. I've got one and it's great, just doesn't have that pitch-bending wheel thing. |
