Piano / Keyboard players - buying advice

Gazanimal · Sunday at 16:24

Hi folks.

My wife, who's fairly musically and teaches it to primary school kids (she's the subject lead at her schools) as part of her class teacher role, has always wanted to play the piano, so I'm looking for recommendations for a good keyboard that she can use to learn on.

Ideally full-size and portable so we (I) can move it around the house for her as necessary and have the ability to plug in earphones/headset.

Any recommendations?

Yamaha P series.

88 keys, hammer action.

They also make a fixed stand that is screwed on, it is much more sturdy vs putting it on an X-brace foldable stand.

Thanks Raymond. Definitely a suggestions that's come up in my research already of a good keyboard.

The other ones to look at are the Roland FP series. like the Roland FP10, FP30 if you want more features.

The keys on the Yamaha are gloss vs matt on the Roland.
