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?
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?
I'm just
starting to learn piano but I plan to play a bit unusual music as well
(Schoenberg, etc.).
Thanks again.
Best regards,
Philipp
I finally came around to test at least some
e-pianos in a local
shop. From those tried in the price range, the yamaha p85 appears
to have the nicest keys and sound. It just doesn't have much else
and is rather expensive (I can get it for 640 Euro new).
You might want to look at S90ES (I have a S90) which has similar nice
keys and sound with many more features. It seemed a better value to
me than the P90 that I initially got. Yamaha has portable stage
piano as well, but I do not recall the model number.
The M-Audio prokeys 88 is a bit cheaper and has
some more keyboard
functionality, but I also don't know how good the keys are in
comparison.
I did not like the keys on the M-Audio at all. You may want to check
out Roland and Kurzweil as well if you can.
