How To Buy Keyboards
By Bill McRea

If you are shopping for keyboards, you ve probably become confused because of the huge options available to you. A good thing has turned into a challenge. You don t want to get a keyboard that is less than the best for you. Here s how to buy keyboards that will serve you best…

To buy a keyboard that will serve you best, you need to know the various families of keyboards out there. We have the Sequencers, synthesizers, controllers, acoustic pianos, digital pianos, organs, arranger keyboards and a few more varieties. They usually come in different sizes, different key actions, different number of keys and at different prices.

If you want a keyboard for producing a demo, you ll definitely prefer a sequencer. You can either opt for one that has everything contained for you to handle your recording from inspiration to CD. However, they come at a price.

You can opt for arranger keyboards. No, they ve long evolved from the toy they used to be. There are arranger keyboards that have found their way into the studios of Hollywood producers. And if anything is good enough for Hollywood it s certainly good enough for anyone. However, like the other case, too, they are rather expensive (I mean the really great ones).

If you just need a keyboard to learn with, you can go for the less sophisticated arranger keyboards. Look around well. A lot of them come with tools that help you develop your playing skills.

If you are already a piano player but need something that is the real deal without having the weight and non-portability of a concert grand, then go for digital pianos.

They come in different shapes and sizes.

You ll get semi-weighted keyboards if you want less weight. You can also get graded hammer weighted keyboard action. Those give you the real piano feel.

If what you want is a keyboard, you can t go wrong if you know what you are looking for. And, even if you can afford it, it makes no sense buying a keyboard that has too many features you don t need. That will simply be throwing away your hard-earned bucks.
