Yamaha Keyboard at Lidl
Comments

We are considering buying one of these for my 8 yo daughter. She hasn't had any lessons but I would like to get her one. I'm not sure though if it would be a waste of money getting a keyboard that is not full sized or if the notes missed off wouldn't be used for quite a while. Anyone got any thoughts please0

61 keys on a keyboard is full size.. perfect for beginner keyboard lessons, as long as it's touch sensitive.0

Good point - is it touch-sensitive, petertwisty? Couldn't see anything obvious on Yamaha's website or the downloadable manual, but perhaps they all are nowadays. Of course the keys won't be weighted, so it won't feel like a real piano, but you can't expect that for the price.Britlad wrote:as long as it's touch sensitive.Time is an illusion - lunch time doubly so.0 -
I have a 5 and 6 year old. Does anyone think they are too young to have lessons or not?0

My 6 year old daughter started in January and has progressed very well and enjoys it. We do have to urge her to practice every day though as a few days missed and she gets 'rusty'.0 -

Well stop making her practise it outside then!!

So what's an 88 key keyboard? Such as http://www.amazon.co.uk/Yamaha-DGX520-Digital-Piano-Sensitive/dp/B000I1QWEE/sr=1-3/qid=1162923335/ref=sr_1_3/202-3951747-9779854?ie=UTF8&s=electronics
I presumed this was full size (ie same number of keys as a piano)?
Just don't want to buy something, send her to lessons and then find when practising one is playing thin air!0 -
I'm pretty sure they mean full sized keys

Went for this today as I couldn't get there yesterday but all 3 Lidls in my town said they'd sold out in 2 hours. I'm suspicious, did anyone get one?0
