My wife has a bachelor's degree in music performance and theory, but when we got married, she had to leave her piano behind... It was junky, and I really didn't want it.. Well, after 6 years of not having a piano, I was finally able to get her one.. Since her artsy talent was one of the main things that attracted me to her, I really wanted to get music into our home and have my girls grow up in a house with a piano..
I wanted a good electronic piano, because we just don't have the room for an acoustic piano of any size.. So I searched and searched for one that was affordable, but professional, and I found a Yamaha P-250 for only $1000. This is what's called a Digital Stage Piano, and this very model is used by many professional musicians.. Just read this:
"Ever since the P200 was first released over 5 years ago, musical legends like Michael McDonald, Keith Sweat, Tim Carmon (Eric Clapton ), Clifford Carter (James Taylor), and Steve Hornbeake (Faith Hill) have used it on stage and in the studio when they needed the absolutely best piano sound available. Now Yamaha is proud to announce the next member in the legendary P series family of Professional Stage Pianos, the new P250. The P250 sets a new standard for sound quality and raises the bar on what to expect in a professional digital piano.The sound is unmatched, and so is the touch, thanks to the GH (Graded Hammer Effect) keyboard. The GH keyboard uses weights and mechanical linkages to achieve an entirely new level of realism. And to go even further, the key weight is graded from heavier in the lower registers to lighter in the higher, exactly the same as a grand piano's."
I have bought my wife several "keyboards" through the years, but she always acted too snobby to play them, and I couldn't understand why... Well, after seeing and moving this 70 lb beast, I see why! This thing is amazing, and I'm glad that I could finally give her a piano that when she sits down to play, she doesn't feel like she's settling for what she has.. This is the best.
