hi tamarind,


I agree with pianojazzy
you need to buy piano when your children prepare to take exam
take exam cannot practise with keyboard
really different feeling and touching
AND the most important think keyboard all is same sound
pieces in exam need soft and loud, only piano can play loud and soft
play organ like robot, no feeling (no loud, soft, crescendo and everything)
if you want to make sure your children interest, better buy second hand piano so when you sell it again will be arround same price

keyboard and piano are different touching

if parents willing to play long term in piano (or have exam), better start from piano.
keyboard is very soft touching will make the student's hand spoilt
play piano, need strong hand (not power from body) but power from han only.
some of my student, practise with keyboard. Than after a week, they never practise anymore. Because for (young children) them, they already can feel and recognize keyboard is different sound and different length from piano

Buy piano still can sell (have value), buy keyboard just can sell it at karong goni man.

GOOD LUCK
