Midi Keyboards
by Anyone know anything about keyboards?
I'm considering buying one to learn on. I saw a Casio WK1630 at Costco with a stand for $279. Any thoughts?

when i first looked at this my thought was, "why do you need a keyboard? aren't you typing now." silly me. but definetely you should get one. they're so much fun. i love to play with my dads.
yeah, i can't even find a good site with reviews. every search on 'keyboard' comes up with thousands of sites on computer keyboards!
check out www.eopinions.com . awesome site for that kind of stuff.
thanks...i'll try it out.
what a waste of time! they had nothing under musical instruments. they have little numbers next to the categories making it look like there are actually reviews there...but nothing!
sorry i never checked it out for keyboards. only cars and computer stuff.
I would go to a very reputable and knowledgeable music store in your area where they know their stuff and aren't intertested in just making a sale. Get a professional opinion and do the same thing two more times at least. THEN make a decision after trying the keyboards out. Know what you want to do first with it (effects, sounds, interfaces, etc) and go in armed. Get something good the first time around that suits your needs now, and can be expanded upon in the future...
are you sure you didn't miss this section on epinions? there's tons of reviews.
there's also http://www.musicgearreview.com/
a tip, when you're searching with google, add a - before a word to exclude that from your search, for example "midi keyboard -computer"
thanks ian...something must have been wrong with the site when i visited. it kept coming up with "0 found". looks like everything's back to normal.
