First Keyboard advice please

trackerman · 2008-04-18 09:36:02

My wife and I are intrested in learning the piano, we also want to encourage the kids (7 and 4). As a start, just to make sure were really intrested, we are considering a keyboard to get us going. We also want to get lessons for the kids when they are old enough. Any advice on a keyboard to get us started? PS, Saw a yamaha…

PS, Saw a yamaha YPT200 in action and it sounded really good for €130 !!!
Would this be a good starter?

Did you get something?

My 9-year old started on this:

He used this for about 6 months and then needed to move up to a Clavinova.

Is there an age that is too young to start learning? My cousin started at 3!
