Hey all,
I'm looking to get into composing music for orchestras, especially for a local group. At the same time, it'd be great if the keyboard would double as an basic introduction to the piano for my children. What options are there? I'm aiming for something under 800$, although that can wiggle if I can find a good brand used.
I've looked at a few keyboards, but I'm having difficulty determining if they'll have the instruments I want in their libraries, or they're outside of the budget.
Musts:
Cheap
88 keys of standard size (Yes, it's important)
Able to simulate most orchestra instruments (Bare minimum of flute, violin, oboe, trumpet/cornet, tuba).
Headphone jack
Nice to haves:
Ability to record midi files
ability to record sound
Decently durable
Not important:
key weight / general feel
custom sound creation
sound quality
Thanks in advance for the help!
