Hi,

im a 14y teen, whos been playing harp for 8 years, bass for 1 year, and want to start to play keys.

i have no idea what to buy, and looking for +- 250 euros/300 dollars

i still need to learn the technique, so is this a good one to start with?

i want to use my keys in a band, like secondary for bass as primary, and use is for intro's and stuff.

What should i get?

Could anyone please help me with choosing something that is good to learn on (not to small keys) but useful live.

Thanks!

I would NOT recommend the microstation for a beginner. Go for something with hammer action! Maybe a Casio Privia or a used Yamaha P80, Roland FP7?

hehe, so sweet keys. I would like to put my big hands on that keys :D.

Great playing, great harmonies. Wher did you learn that harmonies? Im classical pianist... All best!

@predoje thanks for your compliments! nothing too special about the chords i'm playing, maybe do a google search on "rootless voicings" to find out about it?

i like how this guy can actually groove the harmonies 99% right, good job, nice synth

@thornboy It's a great small board for travelling & pracitising in hotel rooms! Sometimes on gigs I use it on the 2nd tier above my nord stage for playing left hand bass.
