Keyboard

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I have moved out of home over a year ago and as a piano player I miss my piano. I never get to play anymore only on my visits to my parents house.

    My question is could anyone recommend a good keyboard or music shop in Dublin where I could buy one? I want a keyboard that I can use as a stand alone instrument and one I could connect up to protools - if that's possibe? Also with weighted keys so it has a nearish piano feel!

    Can anyone recommend? Thanks in advance.

    Here is the same model with the extra pedals for a lot less. I have not played this model but would this be the price range you are looking at for alternative suggestions?

    thanks for the link. I am very wary about ordering from Thomans as I know a good few people who have gone through hell. I was reading through the sticky earlier also.

    Yeah this would be around the price range I would be spending, give or take. Have you any other suggestions?

    I ordered a guitar from there today, I'm not worried in the slightest about the order as they are very good at returns (if the item is damaged)
