Hello folks!
So I have a decision to make and it's a tough one. Lot's of mixed information online and on the forums in regard to this subject.
I have decided to really put in time into learning music theory and most importantly learning piano, so I am looking for a piano with hammer action weighted keys. It's important to mention, that I produce music so midi functionality is important in general, but not a priority in context of learning. Although I do realize, that I might simply upgrade to something more serious when my skill and requirements evolve.
Here's the problem, my budget is very limited. 400 euros is currently top for me.Options that I have in this range in my country:
Studiologic SL88 studio - 388 eur
M-audio HAMMER 88 - 411 eur
Casio CDP-s100 - 375 eur
Korg B2 - 398 eur
Yamaha P-45 - 420 eur
Everything else like Roland fp-10 is already beyond my price range unfortunately.
So the question is, out of 5 mentioned, which one has the best keybed in your opinion? SL88 looks like a good choice for me personally due to midi functionality, because I will run it with my vst's a lot, but as I've mentioned before, it's not a priority. Priority is the best feeling keybed I can get.
Some might say that it doesn't really matter since I am a complete beginner and you might be right, but I still want to make the best choice that will last for couple of years.
Thanks!
