I Serve Larry's Stick
I've been toying with the idea of getting a keyboard, but it's been SO long since I've actually played piano that I don't know where to start.
I'd prefer 88 keys. It's not necessary to have a bunch of bells and whistles on it. It does need to be something I can put up after I'm done, since I live in the equivalent of a shoe box.
As for price, I'm not even sure what my budget is yet, so a range of different prices wold be helpful.
I did do some preliminary looking, and I love the Korg SP-250. I'm not sure how many other reputable brands there are out there besides Korg and Yamaha. (Is Casio still a good brand?)
Can someone explain how weighted keys work? Is it just a matter how how the keys feel? Also, I might be interested in looking into a damper pedal, since, if I do take lessons I'd be playing on a real piano and might need to have one.
