Pianos & Keyboards

Finding a good instrument that fits into your budget is important. Here are a few instruments I recommend at different price points. All of the instruments listed have touch sensitivity (able to control dynamics by touch).

Different types of pedal:

1. foot-switch (I recommend upgrading to a better pedal)

2. sustain pedal

3. triple pedal (has all 3 found on acoustic pianos)

Different types of action:

1. Semi-weighted keys are weighted heavier than most keyboards which have light synthesizer action.

2. Fully-weighted keys are heavier keys like an acoustic piano.

3. Casio’s “smart scaled” and Yamaha’s “GHS graded action” are similar. Each refers to the fact that the lower keys are a heavier weight than the higher keys. Yamaha’s GHS is lower end and GH or GH3 is an upgrade.
