I've been taking piano classes at my local community college for the past year, equivalent to a level 1 and 2 class. At home, I would practice with this keyboard I had for around 5 years that had great sound, a handful of interesting midi sounds, but abysmal keys with no resistance. It isn't something you would notice or care about just starting with piano, but after 6 months I noticed just how much more comfortable and better playing on the more expensive keyboards and actual pianos at my school felt—I also DESPERATELY needed a pedal. So I set out to find a keyboard that would suit my wants and needs: something that just had fully weighted keys, had good sound quality, and had a good looking stand—I didn't want an X-style stand like I had before.
The keys: The keys are great. They feel pretty much as weighted as the Yamaha keyboards we use in my class. They still feel different from acoustic/grand pianos, but pretty good.
