ELECTRIC PIANOS
Small, cheap keyboards are NOT at all suitable for private piano study and are really just toys!These are the features an electric piano keyboard MUST have to be suitable for private piano study:
• 88 keys
• weighted keys
• hammer action keys
• touch sensitive keys
• foot pedal
• bench
• keyboard stand (furniture cabinet type OR the X style for portable keyboards)MY RECOMMENDATION: A suitable, inexpensive electric piano to start with is the DONNER DDP-90 ($570).
