For that price you can get a decent controller keyboard, this is a keyboard which itself produces no sound, it works with MIDI and you have to hook it up to a pc, or a sound module. These keyboards are a lot cheaper than 'real' keyboards.
With the right VST's a controller keyboard can sound pretty good. The downside is that you need a decent pc if you want to play your keyboard 'live' (you press a note and you immediately hear it), which is probably something you want. I'm not an expert but if you want to play piano I think that you will need a keyboard with at least four octaves. Choosing a keyboard also depends on how many programmable buttons you want, if you want a pitch/modulation wheel or joystick, etc. Here are some decent MIDI keyboards in your price range, but I'm not exactly sure what features you want.  M-Audio Keystudio 49I  Edirol PCR-300 You'll see the Edirol has a lot more buttons and even has faders, it's up to you to decide if you need these or not. If you want to play piano I can recommend Native Instrument's Akoustik Piano, it's expensive but the sound is very good. --------------------  Guitars: Peavey HP Special Custom, Gibson SG Standard, Ibanez RG1570 Amps: Marshall TSL601, Fender Frontman Reverb, Fender Champion 600 |
