strawberryswinger Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 which one would you choose? these are my four best options: http://es.yamaha.com/es/products/musical_instruments/keyboards/digitalpianos/clp_330/?mode=overview http://es.yamaha.com/es/products/musical_instruments/keyboards/digitalpianos/cvp_405/?mode=overview http://www.kurzweilmusicsystems.com/Product.php?id=37 http://www.rolandiberia.com/es/catalogo/Roland_RD-300GX/O989/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 If you have the money for it get one of the two models that are actual full pianos. They are tons better than little keyboards but way more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryswinger Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 but, what about comfort? i'll mainly play near the computer, so what can i do? the keyboards are easier to carry here and there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Then go with one of the keyboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawberryswinger Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 so it's a keyboard... i think i'm gonna get this one http://es.yamaha.com/es/products/musical_instruments/keyboards/digitalpianos/clp_330/?mode=overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 go with any of the Yamaha CLP series. they are very good! (i play a CLP-202 myself). also, they are not too expensive. forget about the keyboards. i'm not saying they are bad, but go ahead with one of the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawberryswinger Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 oh well, i've been advised of taking a yamaha too. but i think i'm gonna go with the roland keyboard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyM218 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I got a yamaha DGX 630 for my first. It has over 500 different sounds including different piano sounds and pretty mcuh any other instrument. So many great features about the Yamaha DGX 630 you should look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I have the YPG 625, which I'm pretty sure is the exact same thing, just the american version...and it's simply amazing. It also may be cheaper than those first two yamaha's you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryswinger Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 well, everybody i've asked says i've got to go for a yamaha, so maybe i'll reconsider my first idea. Nick and Tnspieler, you own the same one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Can't go wrong with Yamaha. It's a safe bet for a first piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Chatterbox Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 well, I advise to choose Yamaha, but I'd like to have Yamaha Silence piano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iboware Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I think a keyboard can't take the place of a piano. I wanna have a grand piano! :) What is the cost of CLP 330 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryswinger Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 around 1800€ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 wow, cheap! my clp202 cost me about 2000-2500 (dunno, my parents bought it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahratta Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Go for one of the Yamaha. Ideally, scrap the digital options and go for an acoustic. I've been playing classically (and jazz) for over 12 years, and take it from me - acoustics are a world apart from digitals. I didn't look at your choices in-depth, but make sure you get decently weighted keys. Other than that - make sure you practice, and remember that you learn everything in steps. Just as you wouldn't approach special relativity before doing kinematics, you've got to climb your way up in piano as well. Theory is important, don't neglect it (as much as you want to play Coldplay, classical theory is important too :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss capa Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Weighting is really really important. Get a keyboard that is weighted really well otherwise it'll hinder you once you get upto advanced stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay909 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Go with Kurzweil; that's what Chris Martin uses in the studio. He used a Kurzweil PC2 during the recording of Viva La Vida. They are discontinued but they're great sounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryswinger Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 i'm not gonna go for an acoustic definitely. another option i have around is this: http://www.thomann.de/es/yamaha_p140.htm a yamaha p140, 2 years old. still undecided.. but thanks for the response! :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 that's ok too ;) but as much as some advice: do not go for a real acoustic! you must have a well temperatured room (steady temperature, not hot & cold changing). important is also that there is no floor heating! the room mustn't be too humid but also not too dry, and last but not least they need to be re-tuned every couple of months (3-4 i guess). (oh, not to forget: they are hell of a lot expensive!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
