I wanted to buy a piano because I love music and I used to play guitar but I stopped because of a disease... I hope I can buy one someday but not today because I am still a kid and I am still depending to my parents... And I also hope my parents buy me one, I always mention it and they know how much I want it but I need to wait because I am not the one whose gonna spend the money (love from the Philippines and sorry for the grammatical errors)

2:12 one of the best plugs I've ever seen lmao

After years of wanting to learn, and even longer loving piano music, I am starting to look at what option there are. Your video was the first to come up. Thanks for the tips. My goal is to be able to play acoustic piano, but I want to start with a keyboard or digital piano. I appreciate the tips on full 88-key and the weighted keys. Added to my watch later so I can look up the yamaha and alesis.

Thank you so much for the video. I've played piano for 8 years an i've not touched it for almost 2 years, and recently I was about to get a midi controller, but with all your clear explanations, I guess I would need more a Keyboard. And since you looked sincerely happy about the one you advised us, I may be looking for it now ! you were so clear, thanks for helping me understand that !

I play the harmonica and I've been thinking about learning to play the piano for a while. Comparing each type really helped a lot. Thanks for these great tips!

Great video. I've been researching digital pianos for the last few hours and I was about 80% settled on that P-45. After seeing that it's your recommendation I think it's time to bite the bullet and start learning piano! Thanks dude.

Thank you so much. Just subbed too. I didn't know which to get, but this helped alot, and especially how you suggested which to get, if it's digital, or keyboard, etc

Thanks for the advice bro 🙏 I just ordered Digital Piano :) thanks again 👍👍

that really helped me , and i'm going to do your recommendation thank you.

Wow! It's great! thank you for the tips!

I can't tell you how much I appreciate you saying to use what you have and then get something better later. I've looked at several online piano lessons and this one actually makes me think I can do it. Thank you.

I asked for a keyboard for Christmas, just stopping by to see what I would prefer. Thank you.

The tutorial was great! It really help me understand the different types but I'm confused about why I need a pedal

You are the best piano teacher! Thank you so much for your videos!

It was good guidance video. Thank you.

Thank you that was very helpful

I got a roll up piano I’m super exctied about it and I know it’s not gonna sound quite the same but still excited

Funny that i've found this video right after i've bought a m-audio keystation 61. I've wanted a digital piano or keyboard for the longest time but didn't find anything i really liked until i researched if midi keyboards wouldn't do the trick just fine (for my needs). For the people still looking this might be worth a try. It is really cheap, fairly lightweighted with semiweighted good feeling keys and sounds awesome once you set up the ableton lite and eighty eight software (both come basically for free with the midi keyboard plus a bunch of other software like pro tools first; the software bundle alone is worth the price) which gives you the sound of a steinberg grand piano. I don't think i've ever heard a keyboard in the same price range give me that kind of sound. Of course it will never totally compare to a real acoustic piano but it is close enough in sound. Plus it has all the advantages i was looking for: fairly small and lightweigted and portable plus i get to play around with a lot of new (to me) cool software.

Thank you 🙏🏼 😁

I’ve got a Yamaha CLP775 - amazing sound and weighted keys!

Thanks! It helped

I wanna learn to play piano..have been thinking about this for long time..now i'm sure of it and so wanted to know what instrument is what and which is the one i need..Your video was really helpful..Thanks..I'm thinking of buying a keyboard.

Great video! A keyboard with weighted keys it is for me!

Thank you so much.

Changes since 2017?; but there are several midi controller keyboards that 1. do have very good keyboard feel like Roland A 88MKII even the older mk1, and 2. Novation has better semi weighted feel ( not full weighted) AND Akai come with in built 128 sounds in some of their controllers so things are getting better there.

Portable keyboard E363 is amazing I love it

I️ bought a Yamaha PSREW400 because I️ can connect my iPad to it and have everything play back through the keyboard. The digital piano (Yamaha NP32) I️ had couldn’t do that.

Is there any advantage of a digital piano over a nice 88-key keyboard with pedals, weighted and velocity sensitive keys with a nice stand made for it?

Between an Alessis Recital keyboard and Donner DEP-10 keyboard,which would be better ?

I know I want a keyboard but do you have any keyboards that are a little cheaper that you recommend?

I had a friend who had a keyboard with a feature of recording a sound, and being able to use that sample to play music with. thats what id like, playing game music with original tones and whatnots, but i don't know anything about it or what the feature is called.

I want a digital piano, but I want it to look a lot like an acoustic piano. What digital piano did you have in your living area? That one looks a lot like a regular piano, but had an interface. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What piano is that in your living room? Like where did you get from?

Hi, I have the same midi as you. What free or cheap softwares do you regiment I’m mainly trying to just play piano sounds and some times cool downloaded sounds but not important

def im goin to upgrade my keyboard to a digital

Hi Jacques, I’m getting back to playing piano after some years and I’ve been following your videos, quite helpful. I have the chance to buy an Alesis Recital Pro. In your video you recommend the Alesis Recital for Beginners, what do you think about the Pro one? I’m playing some classics and also want to join a whorship band such as hillsong, what should I buy? Thanks!

ckicked on the link for "favorite keyboard", Amazon can't find it?

I have a keyboard piano named GL-444 54 key digital electronic organ. Does my keyboard pass the requirements? My keyboard/organ came from my Dad. He brought me one when I was just a kid like around 5 or 6 years old as my birthday gift. Been how many years trying to learn all by myself by just watching some piano tutorials on KZfaq but still. I don't know how to play the piano.

the alesis recital is a midi too if yall wondering..

Im thinking of buying a Casio CTK-3500 Electronic Keyboard. It seems pretty reliable, as i never had a keyboard/piano before. Looks like a pretty good beginner option. 🧐

I played the piano for 12 years as a kid. Haven’t played much since and I’m 70, but I would like the start my 8 year old granddaughter with some type of keyboard. What do u recommend for her and do u think I would be capable of teaching her to read music? I’m willing to try but I started playing by ear and don’t even remember learning to read music, which I obviously did! Thank u for the great video but I still need advice.

I'm going with the weighted digital keyboard, thx and great video! Super helpful 😃

I have CTK 1300 very cheap one keyboard. But I think practicing in this one may give some troubles when I use the weighted keys piano. But i think something is better than nothing. I wish to learn through this keyboard until I get a good one. I also tried connecting with PC but this one does not have the midi feature I think. But at least found a way to connect to external audio speakers. Is this keyboard is enough to learn basics?

Very good info. I am a female and wondering if weighted keys are harder to push down? Also what does the pedal do?

Hi again, friend. Now thinking in between Alesis Recital and the Privia PX 350, discontinued but still found. Right now the price difference is +25% here in Brazil. Pls, make that huge keypress variation video with your Alesis Recital. I guess it will help a lot of others around the world to know it better on sound department. There's no video like this yet on KZfaq, and could help your channel as well. Best and thanks.

Yamaha is a good brand for anything, even an outboard motor. They have high standards in everything they do. I'm using a 61 key Casio to start. In my dreams I will someday move up to an 88 key keyboard for around $5-600. An acoustic? No thanks.

Hi Jacques, thanks for this very inspiring video, but I'm confused…, thought I was finally starting to grasp the difference between a digital piano and a keyboard. However, in the video you recommend the Alesis Recital keyboard, whilst the website says it is a digital piano.... Can you clarify that for me? Thanks :-)

That's a really nice video and very helpful :-) . I am using fl studio and practicing on making my own beats but i don't know to play piano. I want to buy a midi keyboard but because i want to learn piano too I don't know what size i should choose. I am thinking for the Alesis VI61 that has also semi-weighted keys but are 61 keys enough?

Hi could you please share a little knowledge about keyboard amplifier which one is the best to buy I am looking for good heavy bass sound not for big preference just for a Hall 20-30 people

I play boogie woogie/blues and already have a piano. I am looking into a keyboard just for its crystal clear sound. Anything to help with looking for one?

Which one between a digital piano and a keyboard, do you recommend for beginners?

Hi I have a question. These more pricey digital pianos/keyboards which have weighted keys, are they kind of touch sensitive, as in pressing lightly makes a lighter sound? I have a problem with my cheap keyboard when playing soft pieces the lower notes with chords are so loud you cant even hear the higher melodic notes as theres just one volume which is when you press the key (non weighted). So do these digital pianos or keyboards have the same effect like an acoustic not only in feel but in sound?

I started looking into the piano after watching the anime your lie in april. I was never a big music person. But I want to learn piano. Is it possible for me to learn as a 20 year old with no music experience at all say maybe a recorder in 5th grade

I'm looking to buy a keyboard and watching a lot of video like this, I find it odd so many push real acoustic piano, so even fanatical about it. What I find odd is in their pros and cons it's like none of them have every living an apartment, acoustic pianos even played softly are still loud for an apartment. Plus acoustic pianos are big even an upright and you better like having it in you living room because apartment hallways are usually small and tight turns so moving a acoustic piano into another room can be impossible. I would love to have an acoustic piano, but living in an apartment it's out of the question so I'm looking at a slab style digital piano and ones today they have keys very close to acoustic pianos for the better brands and models.

Are Wilh. Steinberg upright pianos good?

Hey could you give me an advice? I'm looking to buy a piano and after a lot of research Nektar LX88+ was the best option I found. But I keep reading comments that you can't learn piano without a fully weighted keyboard. If I add some more money I could buy a Yamaha P45 or Thomann DP26 but I don't know if it'd be worth it. What would you suggest? Do you think a semi-weight MIDI like Nektar is good to learn piano and play classical pieces?

I've been sitting on a 49-key midi controller for a few years now, and I just dont have the money to pick up a 61 or 88 key right now... Here's hoping I don't bottleneck myself too quickly.

I want to buy a piano. At first I was going to buy an alesis recital 61 it was $200 but my dad said it was too cheap of a piano so I decided between p71 and alesis recital. The p71 $450 for piano. I have $300 and i want save up for it. I dont if I should buy the cheaper one or the one that's $200-$300 more expensive for a better keyboard that will last longer. I also looked on Amazon for the p71 and the bundle is not in stock should I wait for the bunddle?

I need an inexpensive keyboard. Please give me recommendations. How many keys, what brand, what model, everything. Thank you so much.

Casio cdp130!!!!!!! It's a very basic digital piano with a great sound. Retail price: 300 Euro.

Hey Jacques! How much of a difference is there between Semi-Wheigted(Alesis Recital) and Fully-Wheighted(Recital Pro) Keys?

I got the Alesis recital 88-key digital piano its technically classified as a digital piano not so much as a keyboard. if I recall I got it because this channel did a review on it and it was a good review of it. I would never buy a acoustic piano not when a digital piano is so much better with transpose function built in. I actually for my music lesson pack up my Alesis digital piano and use that rather than the acoustic piano at the store and I have to walk down with it to my lesson I don't drive so that just shows home much I hate the acoustic piano if I take my own walking about 6 blocks with it. I personally like that its semi weighted 88 keys it helps with my weakness in my left hand and I always found it annoying when I used the acoustic piano and my left hand just isn't strong enough to get the bass note to ring out for my one functional finger on that hand.

I’ve been playing the piano for 5 years now. I’ve been using this 14 year old keyboard and it broke (because of how much I’ve used it). My family isn’t the most richest and is looking for a digital piano. I consider myself an I intermediate player and what’s the best piano I could use?

Is there a headphone/earbud jack on the Alesis Recital? Would it be a good idea to spend the extra money and get the pro version(includes stand, bench, and sustain pedal)? Can it be plugged into a wall outlet instead of being powered of batteries(they get expensive after a while). Do you think the Williams Allegro 2 Plus home package from guitar center would be a better buy? Higher quality? Seems all the same stuff is included as the Pro version of the Alesis Recital with it just don't know if its a better buy or not, the home package seems to have a better stand. I play guitar and drums but I want to try to learn keyboard, any help is appreciated.

I play like for 4 years now. At home on a Keyboard that is around 20 years old. And I'm thinking to buy a new one, but I'm not sure about the Alesis Racital, can you tell others options than the Alesis Racital?

Can anyone help me? I want to buy a piano but i cant decide between Yamaha YDP163 and Kawai CN29. Which one should i buy and why?

Which will be the best digital piano under low budget

Hello everyone i need help deciding what to get, i already have a PC with a external sound card (focusrite) and two speaker monitors what should i get thanks !!

I have a Keystation 61 and I am a beginner. What do you think about it?

Hello sir. What about Yamaha PC-100 Partasound? What about Partasound? Is that sounds like real keyboard?

Hi ! What is the average price of a good digital piano or keyboard?

Hi friend, I'm looking for a keyboard which is suitable for ballad and soft music and my budget is around 200€. Do you have any recommendation for me?

Can't decide for my first one between the Yamaha P-45 and Roland FP-10?

What impact does having different numbers of keys make? For example, the MIDI controller you have has 88 keys, but the M Audio Code 61 has 61 keys. Are there limitations, or things you're missing out on by having 66 keys opposed to 88? Thanks to anyone who answers in advance!

Hi, i recently bought a yamaha ypt 260, it's a great keyboard, but i want to change to casio ctk 240 with 49 keys which is more easy to carry i think. Will i make the right decision changing or should i stick to yamaha . Thank you

What do you think about Yamaha p125? Worth it???

WHAT KEYBOARD IS GOOD FOR BEGINNER PRACTICE

Does anyone Can Tell me if a digital piano Can be connected to a pc for recording the audio?

Hi! Maybe you can help me decide: my actual budget is max 200 euros: i've looked at a yamaha psr-e363, yamaha ez220 and nv12.. I dunno if something could fit my budget.. I'd go with the alesis recital but i cant find it in my country (italy) and its a bit big for me (my desk is around 80cm in width) Whats my best possible option under 200 that can bring me up to 5 years of non limiting piano learning? I don't care about other instruments i just want something to learn the piano that feels and sound really good..

Hey, I'm thinking of buying a keyboard that's currently in the supermarket, being 25€ and 37 keys. Should I buy and practice on it or wait until I can budget for a over 49 keys one? Thanks in advance!

Hi Jacques. Thanks for the great content. What's your opinion about the "Alesis Recital Pro"? Is the regular Alesis Recital, that you suggest, good enough? Thanks

Im looking to start learning to play the piano. Im interested in the Alesis digital u recommended. I notice it says semi weight keys... i see the option for full weighted keys.. which do u recommend i get as a beginner who has never played... Thank You

Is it still an good keyboard in 2019?

I see that the keyboard has semi weighted, is there any piano with full weight keys?

can the keyboard in the description be plugged in to a computer and act as a midi controller? or are they two completely different options?

Are second hand keyboard worth it or is it too risky to buy second hand?

Hi i play guitar since 16 ( now i am 26 ) but i don't have any music theory i learned all by myself, and i would like to learn piano, and i saw that in my local music store they have a Yamaha YDP-143 B Arius, do you think is too much for a beginner? or too expensive? my biggest fear is that i buy the piano and than i stop playing it because of my lack of music theory.

I just want keyboard having enough keys. I had to stop learning covers in between because of this. Is 61 keys enoughs? Iam confused 61 or 76.

What's the best for a beginner?

Includes a pedal to the keyboard, And Would you prefer weighted Keys or semi weighted Keys?

Damn, i want at least the electric pianos but im extremely broke as a student, additionally due to financial issues my mother cannot afford one and im stuck with a keyboard that has no weighted keys and it doesnt have all 88 keys but i still consider myself lucky for having it!

help me decide a brand new pearl river or a 2nd hand yamaha? (both are accoustics)

digital piano yamaha DGX660

Is touchsensitiv the Same like weighted keys?

how important is it to have weighted keys on a keyboard for a beginner?

I am going to buy a keyboard but i don’t which is better, either yamaha, casio or alexis. Which is better though?

What was the program at 4:20

One piono will be there which can carry on body that one I need not stand one

What about synthesisers?

I have 36 keys I guess that's not enough? I started day one of your 5 day course. I hope I hear back
