    So i'm finally looking to learn to play the piano, after listening to amazing music for the last decade. I used to have an electric keyboard back in the day, but never learned to play properly.

    Anyone have any good recommendations for around €500? That's about as much as i can afford now, though if needed, i could wait another month or two and save a bit more. Likely to be a digital piano at that price, which is fine as long as it's good.

    Yamaha P45 88key Digital Piano seems pretty well reviewed, and that's around £345 on amazon.
    P125 is around £500, and seems even better. Not sure if it would be required for a beginner though.

    As luck would have it, I got one of these a few weeks back. I'm a piano beginner, more or less, I just wanted 88 keys that felt like an actual piano.

    I got it from Blanchardstown School of Music (bestmusic.ie), but I think it was their last one.

    They were excellent to deal with, told me it was really good for that price range.

    It's also the one recommended by Rockschool. There was a leaflet in the box. That was nice, cos I'm doing a diploma with them (albeit in guitar).
