i currently got a cheap keyboard that i practice on, but i am saving up for a new one. what is the best brand for a keyboard. i only want to spend 500 - 700 dollers.
defenitively a good yamaha
Lung does not know what planet he is on. I would get one for $700 or more. I prefer Yamaha but some people like Casio.
In the sub $700 range there are options: Korg SP170, SP250, Yamaha P95, Casio PX130 as the price goes up, so does the quality.
Hmm, sorry about missing the additional details. Could have sworn that wasn't there last night. My sister-in-law has piano that is a Yamaha, connected to a laptop with Pro Tools software installed. She had Korg but didn't like it, what I would do is go to the music store and try them out. Because its not just the electronic keyboard its the amplifier, speakers and other supporting tools! I buying online is cheaper but support your local music scene, or it won't support you!!
The cheapest keyboards can be bought from around $100. The're the the really cheap ones, with the horrible response and other stuff. If you truly want a good keyboard, then you might want to save some more, because the really good keyboards start from about $700-$800 and can go up to about $2500. You could get a good one for $500, but in my opinion, getting a keyboard, no matter how good, isn't worth it. If you're going to take piano exams or perform recitals, you'll probably need a small piano, even a really smal on. The reason being, the touch between a good piano and a keyboard is so much difference, that when you practice on a keyboard, then move onto a piano, you can't play properly, because the key are much harder to press. I should be shutting up now, because this has nothing to do with your question, but whatever. Back to your question. The best brand for a keyboard would probably be Yamaha. Surprising, most if the the really good piano manufacturers don't make keyboards. But Yamaha does. And it does a pretty good job at it too. The Yamaha keyboard have the hardest touch to them, making themselves the closest to an actual piano. The model I recommend for this is the Yamaha Clarinova series. These keyboards are absolutely wonderful, and they feel and sound like a real piano. I actually couldn't tell the difference when I heard it. The cheapest ones are from $750, I think. The real expensive ones go to like $1770. There a other good keyboards out there, but many beyond my knowledge. So research some more, and choose the on that's right for you. Cheers Y.k.
