do you recomend buying a secondhand keyboard?

Question ID:10000034
 

I am in a dilemma. Can you please advise what the difference is between a new keyboard and a secondhand keyboard? Is it worth looking at new when I can buy cheap used at half of the price? Please give me you straight answer right now.

  • lightweight and easy to carry around
  • much cheaper than a digital or acoustic piano
  • easier to pick up with help from functions such as key lighting
  • can learn chords and play along with background music

Different types of Electronic Keyboards

  • beginner's keyboards
  • synthesizers
  • professional keyboards
  • midi keyboards
  • workstations

The most popular electronic keyboards have 61 touch sensitive keys and a host of different musical instrument sounds, percussion sounds and many other features.

If you are just starting out, then you need to start looking in the beginner's keyboard section where you will find a wide range of electronic keyboards starting from below £100. When you become a more proficient player you will probably want to consider upgrading your keyboard to one of the professional models, or a synthesizer, midi keyboard or workstation if you are in to certain styles of music.
