Can anyone help me choose a beginner's electric piano for my daughter (and myself)?
How much should I pay?
Do I need 88 keys?
Currently looking at
Casio privia px-s1100 (the red model is so pretyy)
Yamaha p225 (these sounded best to my ears, but I don't dig the design)
Rolan fp-30x (like the sound and the design, but dislike the volume adjustment)
Or should I look for something xheaper? Or more?
Or more portable ...
But not sure if it's suitable for children?

ที่บ้านมีตัวนึงใช้ได้อยู่ครับ เดี๋ยวให้แฟนดูรุ่นให้ครับ
ที่บ้าน Kawai Es110 ครับ okอยู่ราคาย่อมเยา คุณภาพใช้ได้ เหมาะกับสาย beginner ครับ
ตัวนี้ก็มอง ๆ อยู่ครับ
roland เค้าทำน้ำหนักคีย์ดีนะครับ กดสนุกมือ
อ่านแว้บแรกตกใจว่า nostr:npub1zk6u7mxlflguqteghn8q7xtu47hyerruv6379c36l8lxzzr4x90q0gl6ef เลิกเดฟ Alby มาทำเปียโนขายแล้วหรอ🤔
555
ผมนึกถึง Rolane น้ำยาหมักผม😂
คุณภาพที่แตกต่างกันของเปียโนไฟฟ้าจะมีอยู่ประมาณนี้ครับอาจารย์
- Key Touch Sensitive
- Weighted keys
- Maintenance
- Durability
ส่วนเสียงที่ได้จากการสังเคราะห์อาจจะไม่แตกต่างกันมากครับผม 😊
ไม่มีความรู้ด้านเครื่องดนตรี
แต่จะมาแชร์ ว่า ที่ซื้อให้ลูกสาว เมื่อ ร่วม 10 ปีที่แล้ว ยี่ห้อ Yamaha
ทุกวันนี้ ก็ยังใช้ได้ดี อยู่ครับ
Tried at store:
Yamaha p225b
Casio px-s1100
Roland fp-30x
Kawai es120
The Yamaha sounded the best (g.piano, their sampling is a step above)
The keys are all fully weighted hammer action keys for all model with Roland being the most consistent between black/white keys
But the faux Ivory/Ebony rexture on the s1100 makes it a joy to run my fingers on.
The headphone nerd in me says Yamaha
The mechanical keyboard nerd in me says Casio
Asked chat GPT for advise.
In summary
"Though both sound and feel are very important, it's gonna be a while before you start sounding remotely good, but you'll be stuck with how the key feels from day one."
Cool. Thanks.
I'm trying to figure this out myself
imho, if you can afford it, ignore the price
check the reverb, and smooth keys, though it depends on your child if she's a future virtuoso, as it may be difficult to get the best-sounding one, and the fingers can adjust to minor key difficulty, but the EP with the most bombastic sound should be the best, that's why you need to check the reverb - sound is what will get her into the virtuoso vibe - not the color, not the keys, though if you can find everything in one unit, and you can afford it, buy!!! Red may be awesome but it will always be the sound that will make a virtuoso out of a novice. Also, is your child a loner or more of a socializer? If she's a loner, there's a huge chance she'll become a virtuoso if given the best-sounding equipment. As a socializer, she may go for aesthetics. Why not get her the one with rhythm, instruments, etc.? She can compose, edit, and record, and will know what instruments sounded heavenly to her - she will know what genre she might be headed to follow. If you can afford it, buy her a mic with a stand, headset, and ampli. Goodluck finding the best one for your kid
Thanks for the input!
These are all roughly the same price.
And this is as much for myself as it is for my kids. I want to relearn what I gave up as a kid now that I've discovered the tricks to learn almost anything. (Been learning many things these past few years. Starting with touch typing in two languages and multiple layouts.)
They all sounded amazing compared to what I have as a child.
When I say one sounds better than the other, that's the Headphone nerd in me being picky.
But after trying a few out at the store, I've come to the conclusion that I like how the textured keys feel much much better than the glossy finish. But I still can't get over how ever so slightly off the Casio sounded, so now I'm leaning more towards the Roland FP-30X and the Kawai ES120 (also at the same price).
They both have textured keys, very good weighted hammer action and sounded better than the Casio. (Comparing the Grand Piano sound only.)
Will hit the store again to check out the build quality.
These thing should spark joy every time you touch / see them an as a former architect I take the designs and aesthetic quite seriously.
