Message: [QUOTE="hubalken, post: 248080, member: 22631"] I agree on the Yamaha PSR E 383. I have one which I use for gigs outside of my home. It's very light, has excellent voices and touch sensitivity, among it's myriad of other features. I think it weighs about 10 lbs and for me, is light enough to carry back and forth from my apartment to my car without compromising my already bad lower back. You will definitely want to budget some funds for a sustain pedal as has been mentioned. I purchased my PSR E 383 for $200.00. The sustain pedal I obtained on Amazon for about $10.00 last year. I use a Roadrunner 61 note keyboard bag for storage and transport. This is a nice 61 note keyboard that I can set up on my patio and practice outside with and it can run on 6 AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries for something like four hours, possibly a little longer. If you're looking for something with more features, then the PSR E 583 is great as well. I think that the PSR E series models from Yamaha are great beginner's keyboards. Even though I'm more of an intermediate, hobbyist player, I've found that the PSR E series keyboards are sufficient for my needs and have been using them now for awhile. Whichever model you choose, there's plenty to keep you busy for a long time. [/QUOTE]
