I am in the market for a keyboard. I have a cumulative of 3 years piano lessons but haven't played in about 30 years. I know I want an 88 key weighted and good quality. I am currently looking at a Yamaha P-115 or a Casio Privia PX-150. Similar in many ways but price. I mainly plan to just get back to playing for fun and personal enjoyment once I hopefully get my skills back. Hubby is taking guitar lessons and maybe we could eventually play together. Need some advice on the keyboards though. Any ideas?
Which keyboard should I buy?

Hi Peggy,
Both models you mentioned are excellent entry level boards.
My advice is to visit a few music stores and audition the instruments in person to find out which one you prefer.
I believe Costco carries the Casio line.

BTW, just a personal; preference but I favor Casio keyboards over Yamaha. Generally more bang for the buck.

Thanks, guys! I went to a music store today and checked them out. Got the Casio. The manager gave me a deal on a bundle of the keyboard, stand, bench, pedals, headset and a book based on what I found on the internet. I'm excited to get started. It's been a long time and I'm probably closer to beginner after so much time, but I think with some determination and lots of practice I'll get there!
