Looking to buy a keyboard.....

[QueenEsther]

I am planning on buying a keyboard for my house so that I can stop practicing at the church on my lunch hour. I am just looking for something used around $200ish. I would prefer 76 keys.

So, if anyone knows of anyone maybe selling one I may be interested. Otherwise I will probably just check out ebay.

Thanks!

I agree! Craigslist is the way to go for used musical instruments.

Let me know when you're ready for a Steinway!

There are some great tutorials on Youtube. I have a man at church who wants to sing, "Never Would have Made it" by Marvin Sapp...and I searched on youtube and found a man giving step by step instructions for that very song...and also he has much more available to just about any level of piano/organ playing!

Thanks everyone!! I'll check out craigslist. I did find a brand new Casio online yesterday for $200 and it seemed very nice it even had 88 keys! But it didn't have weighted keys. I'll keep hunting till I am ready to make the purchase!

I pay $10.00 every other week for lessons. I love it!!!

Can anyone tell me what kind of keyboard this is? It is the one on the bottom - the top one already sold.


I don't understand what all the extras are or if it would work for what I want. It caught my eye because it was in my price range and had 88 weighted keys!!!

When I click on the link, it gives me an error report...it might just be my computer, though.

Well, after I posted it I checked it and it worked, now it isn't. I'll repost! Thanks for letting me know!

Ok, so I can't figure out how to post the links for some reason. But does anyone know anything about the Studiologic SL-990 Midi Controller 88-key Weighted keyboard by Fatar?

You can find one on this website for brand new: http://www.guitarcenter.com

I just can't figure out why they are so much cheaper. They have TONS of them on Ebay - all for decent prices.
