    I posted this in Music section but figured I’d post here too because I want as much advice as I can get

    I’m thinking about getting a keyboard, preferably an 88 key one. I really want to teach myself how to play piano. I want something simple and portable with reattachable stand that’s good quality but still cost efficient?

    Is there a particular brand or kind of keyboard that anyone would recommend?

    I’ve heard good things about Yamaha but the price for Williams Legato III in my local area is pretty nice. Is that a good brand?

    if youre looking for classical training yamaha makes a really good set in the 600 range, try starting there and if thats too much see what else they have?

    ive never really heard of williams legato but if you play it and you like it then go for it! something to keep in mind tho is that your first instrument is rarely your last one, and you probably will want to trade up eventually. In my experience cheap can be very expensive with instruments, and sometimes i wish i got the medium grade option first so that i could work up to it instead of buying the cheaper piano growing out of it and then buying the medium grade anyway

    Casio is also good but it all depends on your price range and what you want to be able to do and functionalities like usb/midi, built in sounds, portability, weighted keys, etc.

    got u the only really important thing is having weighted keys , the weighted keys are really important down the line for articulation dynamics etc. also it means transferring over to an upright or a grand will be smooth!

    you can get a Kawai (fully weighted) ES60 Digital Piano for 5 hunna.

    I had one for a lil bit and tried to gig with it before selling it (not anything wrong with it, but it's to your own inconvenience trying to gig with an 88-key keyboard)

    But definitely great to practice with.
