Keyboard choice

Edutainment · Post by **Edutainment** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 5:24 pm

I'm buying a keyboard with my birthday money, but I don't know if I should get a Yamaha or Casio. I find one of each I want for about the same price. What would you guys suggest? Any good keyboard you know of? I'm not looking for anything professional.

Yamaha. Good quality, way better than casio.
I have 3 yamaha keyboards, I suggest getting a "PortaSound", as they have a lot of bang for your buck.

Nice sound, nice features, nice feel to it.

I haven't seen a PortaSound, not even on their site, but I was looking at a PSRE203 (I think that's the name, looks just like the one in Best Buy so I assume that's it) because it was the cheapest (I only have $140 Canadian). I wanted one with pressure sensitive keys, but I think I can live without that and still sleep at night.

Thanks though.

EDIT: Never mind, I just bought an organ.

Yamaha, hands down.

Although, if you're willing to make a serious, long-term investment, Hammond puts together some really nice stuff.

Yeah. I'd kill (figure of speech

) for a Hammond B3.

maybe you should actually read the thread before trying to contribute to it?

Figure of speech? F*ck that. Just find me someone who owns a Hummer with a yellow ribbon on the bumper.

haha too bad I didn't get the registration email on my alt-account. Guess I'll have to refrain from making fun of this kid for now.

He wants a music keyboard, like a piano. Silly Billy.

And I advise a Keytar, like a keyboard, only cooler.

Yamahas are really nice. If I could afford it, I would get one of these. Our school has like 20, they're really REALLY good.

That's $600 CAD. Roughly $500 USD.
