 Any Piano Players out there

I play piano on our praise and worship team at church. At home I have an old upright and play a Yamaha P200 (electronic keyboard) at church. I enjoy both. There are many benefits to an electronic as mentioned earlier. If you go with the keyboard, it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to get one with weighted keys. I will guarantee that if you get one without, your daughter will not enjoy or excel at the same rate. You can get a used P200 for less than $1,000 if you take your time to look. Yamaha builts extremely durable and reliable products. They sound great (professional quality) and have built in speakers with headphone jack for those long practice sessions. Good luck to you and your daughter...music is truly a gift that lasts a lifetime.

Just to let you know...the Yamaha P200 has been replaced by the P250. If you go to kraftmusic.com you can find a set-up for home use that comes with a stand, bench, and a few other goodies for about $2000 which would give you a manufacturer's warranty along with the owner's manual. I believe they also have a 30 day satifaction guarentee as well. I was going to get one earlier this year but decided even after 4 years of hard use that my was still fine. This would still be cheaper than a stringed piano and the sound is amazing! The built in speakers give it the vibration similar to a regular and the hammer-graded weighted keys feel better than some grand pianos I have played. Your daughter would never out-grow it and would take just about as long to it wear out. I hope this helps.

The YDP 113 would be a good starter digital piano. The sounds will be pretty good but if you want one that will have excellant sounds and features that your daughter will probably never outgrow (unless she eventually wants to step up to a hig-end model)consider a Yamaha P120. The sounds will absolutely astonish you and there are other features that she may really enjoy using as she gets better. It is $1199 a emusicgear.com and the YPD 113 is $995. I truly feel that the sound quality and other features (happy to explain if you would like) is worth the extra $200...I recommend that you visit a music store and compare these two models for yourself. Who knows, maybe you'll be so impressed that you'll want to learn too! Have a wonderful Christmas Season.

There are some great reviews for the Yamaha P120 at music123.com for you to look at if you would like hear about it from people who own one. There might be some reviews on the 113 as well but I have not checked. Good luck!

Grinder, just curious what you decided about the piano? I am sure that your daughter would be thrilled with either. Merry Christmas.
