Thanks for all the help so far.
Now it's getting serious.
I think I'll get something along the lines of Yamaha P85, Casio
PX-120 or Korg SP-250. They appear pretty similar to me, I couldn't
test the casio yet.
Any recommendation?
I own a Korg SP-200 which has the same technology as the SP-250 but
without the stand, the pedal and the speakers. It's a nice e-piano
very reliable and solid.
The sound is okay - the same for the keys. I don't know the other
Pianos but this one is good. I would recommend it. But you should try
them all in a store.
I could try the Korg and the Yamaha in a store yesterday but right now
the differences are a bit to subtle for me. I noticed that they sound a
little different but that's about all I could say.
Most of the music stores here are rather small, they don't have a lot
of instruments to try.
The prospect reads that the SP-250 has 60 note polyphony, the yamaha 64
and the Casio 128 notes, did you ever run into problems with that?
And the main
reason for this message:
It's possible to get three pedals for the Casio and the Yamaha, for
The Korg there's only the sustain pedal.
My question is:
When and for what will I need the other pedals?
How the pedals work is explained in another respond - but I'm playing
about 10 years and didn't need another than the sustain pedal. The
others may be nice for some pieces, but they are mostly not needed.
Thanks, that's the information I'm looking for.
I'm just
starting to learn piano but I plan to play a bit unusual music as
well (Schoenberg, etc.).
Sounds like fun - even if I never played Schoenberg :)
Thanks again.
Best regards,
Philipp

P.S. Sorry for my bad english...
You're English isn't bad, at least not worse than mine and I think that
mine is OK-ish :)
