Okay so I wanted to share this recommendation about a keyboard that I think is really good for the money.  Some keyboards can run all the way up to $3-7 thousand dollars and usually don’t do anything that we would ever need it to.   I played a dueling  piano show with a guy a few weeks back who had this really good sounding keyboard, that was light, and had a great feel with weighted keys.  We started talking about it and he paid about only a few hundred dollars.  I really couldn’t believe it because the keys felt so good.  When you are starting out (in my opinion) and you are going to purchase a keyboard you really only need to focus on 6 things:

1.  Weighted keys (this helps a ton with the feel of the piano)

2. At least 76 keys but I don’t really play more than that.  I have an 88 key keyboard but rarely EVER play more than the 76 key keyboard would afford me

3. External speakers so you can hear yourself play without having to plug into some computer or something

4. The ability to plug it into a sound system if you wanted to do a show or just show off for family and friends. 🙂

5.  Does it have a transpose function so you can play a song in a different key without switching to different chords

6. Does it have just a few different sounds but not to many.  You only use a couple unless you are in some recording studio and the pianos/keyboard tend to be less quality in sound and feel the more features you have.  It’s weird but very true.

I went into the music store the other day to just look at one and I really believe this is an awesome option for the money.  I get a lot of people asking me what I recommend and I absolutely recommend this one.  If I didn’t already have a keyboard I would totally buy this one and use it for my shows as well because it feels good, sounds good, and is light.  So click on the link below to see if maybe it is a fit for you.  If you have any questions just email me and I will help you in anyway that I can.  Talk soon!
