Recommended Beginner Digital Piano or Keyboard for Student Starting Piano Lessons

Beginner Digital Piano or Keyboard

I would like recommendation for a digital piano or music keyboard for my 7 year old daughter who has started taking piano lessons.

I am looking for a decent piano keyboard; don't mind paying a bit more as opposed to a cheap toy keyboard. I am okay to buy a used piano keyboard as well.

Not sure what piano keyboard to look at yet but I have come across a used Yamaha YPG635 on craigslist for around $350, in reasonable shape. She takes piano lessons on a real piano so I thought this would suit fine.

It's just that I didn't want to give her a used one. The new Yamaha YPG635 will cost around $700 and I'm sure my wife is going to mind spending that much money.

Any alternatives for a good beginner digital piano? Something that is good but a bit inexpensive. Not the $100-$150 music keyboard though.

This is what usually happens when you go for your first piano keyboard instrument. The ones that you like will be much above your budget. I would still recommend a Casio music keyboard to start with - Casio CTK-2100 premium package. Value for money, 61 keys and you can easily learn for 6-12 months. You can upgrade later if your daughter shows potential.

Alternatively, the 88-Key Casio PX-130 Privia digital stage piano is recommended by many as an excellent beginner piano keyboard. You may even consider Casio WK-200 76-Key or the Yamaha YPG-235 76-Key Music Keyboards.

Better to get a piano keyboard with weighted keys so later on it will be easy for her to play on a real piano. Yamaha makes better pianos than Casio and especially the Clavinova series from Yamaha is quite good. Expensive though, a new one would cost around $3k, but if you go for a used upright piano, you should find one under $1k.
