I found that theres weighed key and non-weighted key, for me i don't think theres much different!. But i heard its a painful process to switch between the touch of those key!. So is weighted and non-weighted key big!? If yes, could you list me some of the cheap piano(any kind)!? it don't have to be brand like yamaha or casio!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If you are on a limited budget, its going to be hard to buy a piano/keyboard with weighted keys!. Even then, the weighted keys on an electronic piano are still not the same as on an acoustic piano, but it is closer!. Im enclosing a link to the cheapest hammer action weighted keyboard I can find!. The brand is Williams, and Guitar Center sells these pianos!. Now!.!.!.!. here's a suggestion!. If you plan on learning classical music, I would highly consider this piano!.!.!.even though its no where near a standard acoustic piano!. If you are wanting to learn rock piano, and plan on playing keys in a band down the road, wouldnt really matter what you learn on!. Classical music is filled with so many dynamics that its hard to achieve this on non weighted keys!. A lot of the rock playing is just straight chords and also a lot of organ fills that it really doesnt make a difference what type of board you use!. http://www!.musiciansfriend!.com/product/W!.!.!. Thats the link to the Williams Piano!. Ive played a couple of these at Guitar Center before, and they are not to bad!. I prefer my M-Audio Pro Keys 88 over this, but, its also a couple hundred more, plus, no built in speakers on my M-Audio!. This would have every thing on it you need to start learning, including a song book and some right hand/left hand lessons built in to the keyboard!. If your budget is not that high, and if you really have a desire to learn the piano, Yamaha and Casio both make some decent instruments in the 199-299 range!. (non weighted) I would highly avoid the 61 note keyboards, and lean more towards the 76 note!. In the price range ive listed, its going to be hard to find the full 88 notes on any keyboard!.
