Keyboards!

17-11-2009 9:38pm#1Hi all,
Having dabbled with Keyboards on and off for God knows how long, I've decided to go ahead and purchase one to properly learn on.
Right now I'm looking at this; http://www.thomann.de/ie/thomann_sp5500.htm
But to be honest, I wouldn't really know what I'm buying.
Definitely looking for at least 76 keys, and something that'll sound decent when plugged into a PA/Amp - hate tiny speakers!
Along with this, can anyone recommend a good sheet music/beginners book to get me off to a good start? Cheers

Bump
No keyboard/piano heads on here?
hI TELLOX...
I HAVEN'T NOTICES TOO MANY KEYBOARD PLAYERS ON THIS AT ALL EITHER BUT I WILL OFFER MY LIMITED ADVICE.
I have been playing piano keyboard on and off for about 15 years, my last on was a 61 key roland e-16 and i am now in the market for another one.
Haveing looked at the one you are interested in , it looks a very good buy, i can't say i have played a thomann b4 but having 88 hammer action keys and plenty sounds and styles to keep you amused looks a good deal., i seems to have plenty expandability in that in future you could hook it up to computer via midi and record or make arrangements with cubase etc on pc.
have a look at this model and see what u thing...similar price bracket but with 76 keys. http://www.thomann.de/ie/yamaha_dgx230.htm. It has Yamaha's learning suite which is supposed to be very good, yamaha grand piano sound is one of the best simulated piano souns on the market currently. Pleanty of sounds and styles to keep you amused in your spare time also.
I hope this helps
As for lessons, i think there is a seris called the complete piano player...it starts very basic with just numbers for your fingers b4 showing u scales and notation, how to read music etc, most music teachers ( or alot anyway) use it to supplement their lessons. Personally i would try get yourself some lessons. I always found it very helpful to get the teacher to play the piece of music for me so i could hear the way its meant to be played... I have a good ear for music and piicked up alot of pieces simply by ear. I was my downfall in a way as i relied on it more than reading the sheet music ( always read the sheet music) Any way, that seris is very good and as u move throught the book you'll recognise some of the songs in simplified versions, obviously the books get progressively harder as u move thru 3 and 4 etc...0 -
