I want to buy my girlfriend a new keyboard, she has an old hand me down one. She's not professional obviously but she's pretty advanced. I went to guitar center and looked at them and I had no idea what I was looking at or for. Also I want to learn to play too; I taught myself electric guitar, acoustic, and drums and I want to learn keyboard as well. She cant really teach me because she's usually pretty busy with work and school so I want to teach myself. I play guitar for her a lot but I like a lot of piano type songs that I cant really play on a guitar. Can you please recommend a nice keyboard we could both play on, price ranges and maybe some beginner books/songs that I could learn from? Also on a scale of 1-10, what do you think the difficulty of learning to play is? Guitar was pretty frustrating at times but I'm pretty decent. (I also don't know what kind of keyboard she has but it's relatively hold and she wants a new one) Thank you
The Yamaha Piaggero NP-11 gives you classic Yamaha piano tone and 61 full-sized keys in an ultra-portable package, weighing in at just 10 pounds. Operating on just 6 AA batteries, you don't even need a power outlet to play your piano anywhere your music takes you. Yamaha has added an easy-to-use panel design with dedicated Voice-select buttons. A built-in metronome with adjustable tempo and time signature appeals to the pianist who knows that practice makes perfect.
Yamaha keyboards are good, but don't get a Clavinova; they don't sound like a piano. Kawai is a good brand too. Also you can get real pianos in both brands. I'm not sure what you mean by a cross between a baby grand piano and a keyboard; either it's an electric keyboard, or it's a piano.
