Hi all,

Recently i had changed my job and can foresee theres some free time i could proceed to my interest. I wish to learn some basic keyboard during my spare time.

Thinking of attending a piano lesson 1st because keyboard lesson is toop expensive (those play by ear 1..). But anyway my objective here is to ask you gurus to suggest me a nice beginner keyboard to start with..

My budget is around RM 600 - 1000. The musical teacher said that a RM 400 keyboard will do but i think is wise to spend more on it.. Through my survey i reallise this "touch sensitive" feature is important (is it?) So the cheapest keyboard i could found with touch sensitive and piano style key (is this important too?) is the Casio CTK 810. The price is between RM 1000 - 1100, is this the one to start with?

Or maybe you will have better suggestion cause i am totally noob in keyboard, LOL.. Thanks all sifus~

p/s 1: The link for CTK 810: http://www.casio-intl.com/emi/standard/ctk810.html

The CTK 810 seems ok to me, yes you are right... the touch sensitive are really important.
but to me... Casio's rythms are not as good as yamaha.... if keyboard... i would prefer yamaha... but since you are in tight budget... why not you try the CTK-900? if not mistaken... the price is around RM1.3k.... not too far from your budget...
i bought the casio LTK-300tv... really disappointed and regret about it. i would chose CTK-900 if i was given another chance....
but i tried the YAMAHA... really nice...can play a lot of function...

hihi..

oh u own the casio before, the price of that LTK 300TV seems not cheap tho.. RM 1300++
very bad ar?

anyway seems there are many bad comment about casio, i am looking for alternative in Yamaha E-series, heres my 2 choices: E313(RM900) and E403(RM 1150)

E313

E403

The review seems good for the 2, what about other LYN sifus opinion?  cool.gif

and actually where can i get Yamaha keyboard with the lowest price around PJ area? Any 2nd hand available?

if i were u... i will pick E403.... RM1150 are kinda cheap for yamaha keyboard... and i believe is durable... the casio one... i need to stick something on the adapter there... coz the adapter always out of power... i think something not attached properly...

like Andy said... get the sustain pedal....... but mine one was free when i bought the keyboard...

Im thinking of selling my CASIO LTK-300TV and get a better one... i'm like you also... beginner as well... but i felt i'm getting better ad wish to play more thing.... so CASIO LTK seems not suitable anymore...
