Starting Up

[Nova]

Hey people, I'm new here; and to be honest I doubt I'll actually be sticking around. I found these forums by Google, just to ask a question or two.

I've recently been wanting to start playing the keyboard. I have a natural music flare, and if you give me an instrument I can rock out and be playing a piece or something of my own in minutes. I have a little experience with pianos/keyboards, but I've never actually had my own.

I don't want to purchase a 'beginner' keyboard, because I know that I will rather quickly advance to the 'intermediate' level. What is a good, cheap keyboard that is selling nowadays? My budget is around 100-200 dollars.

I'm looking for a solo keyboard, not a MIDI device, as I don't want to have to deal with plugging it into a computer, and using it as a MIDI controller. I want a standalone machine with good sound-quality, and that could preferably be hooked up to an amp, headphones or a different set of speakers. The built-in speaker is what I'll be using most of the time, though.

I'm also not looking for anything big, I don't need an 88-key keyboard.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Well, for 100-200$ you won't find anything good, especially if you're looking for something that will last you through your "natural flare" as you've put it

Besides if you want to play the PIANO, nothing under 88-keys won't do you any good - trust me
