The 5 Best Portable Keyboard Piano Under 200 Dollarsbeginners, learners and hobbyists. If you are a beginner or a hobbyist, you may not want to spend a lot of money on buying a music keyboard...which actually makes sense too. In the first couple of years when I was learning to play keyboards, I have used keyboards that were inexpensive. I was not sure at that time if I would be able to play keyboards and wanted to concentrate only on learning. In fact, my first keyboard was a Casio mini-keyboard. It was only after a couple of years I bought a Yamaha PSR keyboard. In this page I focus on the top 5 portable music keyboards sold by various manufacturers, available for less than 200 dollars. If you're in the market for a budget portable keyboard, you may wish to consider these models.  5 best portable keyboard under 200 dollarsWithout Touch Sensitive KeysEventually however, as your kids show more potential, you will have to get a music keyboard with touch sensitive keys.
