Beginners: How to Buy the Best Piano or Keyboard
- Buy your piano/keyboard from a reputable retailer and brand.
- Check reviews of the piano/keyboard on multiple websites.
- Try out the piano/keyboard in the store.
- Make sure you have enough space at home to fit the piano/keyboard. Measure with a tape measure to ensure a good fit!
- Electric keyboards: buy a keyboard with 88 keys if possible.
- Electric keyboards: buy a keyboard with weighted keys or "acoustic action". This will mimic the way the keys of an acoustic piano respond to touch. It makes for a more enjoyable and controlled playing experience.
- Electric keyboards: buy a keyboard with velocity sensitivity. This will allow you to control how loud and quiet you play.
- Buy a hight-adjustable piano stool, this will make all the difference in the world when it is time to play.
- A hight-adjustable keyboard stand
- If your keyboard does not come with a sustain pedal, buy one! You will need it.
Recommended Pianos/Keyboards
Recommended Piano Benches
You will need a fully adjustable bench to get you and the keyboard at the correct height!
Recommended Piano Stands
If you got a fully height-adjustable bench, you can save a little money on the stand. If you do not have a height-adjustable bench, buy a more adjustable stand. Keep in mind that the cheaper stands can and will break over time, and offer less support and stability.
