Comparison of the various 'Piano Keyboards': Here are some excellent keyboards and pianos suited for various skills and ages:

For Children

For Children who are just Getting Started...You need mini sized keyboards that are smaller in size and have less than 61 keys. You may even opt for the lighted keys (with 61 keys) as children find it fun to use.

It is better to go in for a keyboard with lots of features so that you get used to the various aspects available in digital keyboards instruments nowadays.

For Elderly People who are Testing the Waters
You may go in for the keyboards suggested above. But we have seen that many elderly people love the sound of a piano and would prefer to have a piano at home, and don’t mind spending a bit more.

In that case, it makes sense to go in for an upright digital piano.

For Adults

Adults who are getting started and probably testing the waters, you should consider getting a good arranger keyboard, instead of the cheapest ones.

You may not like the sound quality of the mini keyboards suggested for children, and the keys will be bit smaller for you to play.
