Hello There,
I am looking for a keyboard or digital piano that has the following features:
1. Full 88 Keys with Hammer Action or similar real piano style weighted keys.
2. Ability to hook up a 3 pedal array (or one that comes with those pedals). 2 would work as well but 3 is better.
3. Made in Japan, Italy, USA, Europe, etc... NOT Made in China or outsourced to a developing country.
It would be nice if it had USB output, the ability to record in HD, etc... but none of that is particularly necessary.
My budget is $500-$900 depending on the keyboard/digital piano.
The ones I have found so far that sort of fit the bill but are slightly out of that price range are:
Korg SV1, Roland KF-10 (Kiyola),Korg Havian 30, Korg Kronos (way out of my price range).
Ones that I found that are somewhat in my price range:
Korg SP500 (used) or Korg LP-380...
I was originally considering getting a straight up digital piano - but now I am leaning towards getting a nice recording keyboard with weighted keys so that when I buy a proper baby grand piano in the future it will compliment it.
I am OK with buying used or previous models as needed to fit the budget. The SP500 is the most affordable one I found so far but it's also the least attractive of the bunch and obviously older and discontinued...
