Hi Graham,

I am Gary, I have just started taking piano lessons from a teacher, i have a chappell Piano at home..

its about 20 yrs old.. my father had purchased it second hand... its old hampour and has 50 keys,

my teacher came home and checked the piano... since no one has been playing on it.. it went out of tune and few keys have gone damp... as in when u press the key there is no sound...

the tuner came and tuned the piano... and i left the few not functional keys as it is as the tuner said it would be expensive and didnt make sense repairing it.... as tomm if i go to sell this piano i would get only 50 pounds or so... and repairing would atleast 100 pounds...the tuner said its ok to learn on it for now.. as the keys towards the end are not working....

my piano teacher says if ur totally going to learn the piano... i should buy the Yamaha DGX620 which about 500 pounds....india pricing...

as i am also a dj it will help me out in midi sync and my pproduction which i plan to do later on...

what are ur reviews on the Yamaha DGX620.??? Do u have any other suggestion tht i could buy...

he said i should buy weighted digital paino as it is good to learn on a weighted piano..

would love some advice from u

Thanks

Reply/ Hi Gary

I don't advise on buying the Yamaha DGX620. The keys are weighted buy not enough. You really need to look at a digital piano such as the Yamaha YDP131 or (for even more money) the Yamaha CLP220.

It is essential to get a piano that has heavily weighted keys so if you want to play a real piano at a later time you will be able to make the transition much easier.

The key weight on all keyboards is too light and I advise you to spend a little more money on a digital piano.
