Can anyone advise me on how to choose a second-hand keyboard.
One of my kids has asked to get one just for her to mess about with and learn some basic piano tunes.
(We don't have room for a piano).
I don't know where to start in choosing one.
I haven't a clue about keyboards or many instruments really, so any advice would be welcomed.
Please answer on the forum if possible. |

If she’s just starting out it won’t matter. Get something cheap until she’s not given up within a few weeks
Once she’s really getting into it then consider going into a music store and asking about a better model. But as a beginner anything will do |

"Shame you’re so far away, we have a really good keyboard in the attic that you could have had before it gets skipped! "
Thank you, that is kind!
Shame we are far.
I don't think she has any plans of really getting into it it's just to learn a few notes to mess about with, she's not looking at it as really wanting to play properly.(although who knows) |

Surely hiding from cock pics is not that far from Chester  . But anyways package and posting might work out cheaper than buying a 2nd hand one. |

Not to start with, just something of a decent size you can practice your *ahem* fingering technique on would be fine to start with, as let’s face it, kids do things as a fad for 3 weeks then loose interest- if they don’t- then you invest in something half decent as well as lessons |

do schools teach music anymore ? If the pupil has a flare for the keys then it’s a good investment x |

High schools are supposed to teach music and most have extra curricular ensembles and activities. |

The school I worked in put it to a vote to drop music for another language class.
So, music went.

Yamaha are a great make , I'd try eBay , I'd shop around , you'd be very surprised what people want for good quality , they might just want to get rid of it . |
