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.

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..

Then go with one of the keyboards.

do you own one?

Yeah, this one (it's a big pic so I put it in a spoiler):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

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

Yamaha, Yamaha, Yamaha. Those chinks know what they're doing.

oh well, i've been advised of taking a yamaha too. but i think i'm gonna go with the roland keyboard...

Yamaha, Yamaha, Yamaha. Those chinks know what they're doing.

This or Casio.

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.

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.

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..

Can't go wrong with Yamaha. It's a safe bet for a first piano.

well, I advise to choose Yamaha, but I'd like to have Yamaha Silence piano

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 ?

around 1800€

wow, cheap! my clp202 cost me about 2000-2500 (dunno, my parents bought it)

Steinway Grand!

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 :))

Weighting is really really important. Get a keyboard that is weighted really well otherwise it'll hinder you once you get upto advanced stuff.

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.

i'm not gonna go for an acoustic definitely. another option i have around is this:

a yamaha p140, 2 years old.

 

still undecided.. but thanks for the response! :nice:

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!)
