I've got a question for the musically-inclined here. I've been wanting to get a real music keyboard since I was a kid playing on a mini-casio. It just sorta left my mind for a long time until recently when I was taking a look at some Masterclass videos on keyboard-playing and the urge struck again. I don't know much about keyboard brands so I could use some input on which one to get. I want something beginner-friendly that also has upward mobility if I git gud. Here are the specific ones I was looking at:
Amazon.com: The ONE Music Group Smart Lighted Keys, Electronic Piano Keyboard, Onyx Black, 61 Portable (TOK1B): Musical Instruments - This one seems to be the best out of the group, and also the most expensive. My main concern is whether a different one will be better for a beginner. The price doesn't bother me, but if the added cost is going into features that I might never use, then it might be better to go with a different one. Has apps for learning, plus light-up keys to help me get the hang of it.
Amazon.com: Best Choice Products 61-Key Beginners Complete Electronic Keyboard Piano Set w/Lighted Keys, LCD Screen, Headphones, Stand, Bench, Teaching Modes, Note Stickers, Built-In Speakers: Musical Instruments - This one comes with a stand, which is nice. It's also the # best-seller on Amazon which probably means something. Not as many features as the previous one, could be an adequate mid-range alternative.
Amazon.com: Hamzer 61-Key Digital Music Piano Keyboard - Portable Electronic Musical Instrument - with Microphone and Sticker Sheet: Musical Instruments - The lowest-priced one, also geared towards beginners but may not have as much upward mobility.
I'm heavily leaning towards the first, but I could use some input before I get it. Maybe one of the others would be more than adequate, or maybe there's an even better one that isn't on the list. My budget for this is about $250 tops at the moment.
