    They feel and play pretty much exactly like real piano keys.

      Now, that I'm playing myself piano, until now I never experienced a Keyboard which responds nearly the same as a conventional piano ;)

        Weighted keys feel much like playing a real piano with all the moving parts...like they have some weight to them and not just cheap plastic. I forgot to mention that the keys should also be velocity sensitive...most of the decent ones are. Yes I'm cheating on my bass! Thanks for remembering! Lately I've been playing bass lines on an acoustic guitar...put on Pandora Classic Rock and just play along. :)

          A friend of mine has one with a full 88 weighted, velocity sensitive keys. Sadly, I can't remember the name on it, but it cost about $3,000, 20 years ago.

            My son likes to learn playing piano. Now, my old piano does not fits his Apartment and therefore I suggested him to use a Keyboard to start. In my opinion it is ok to start with a Keyboard instead of a piano, but maybe I'm wrong.

            I bought myself a Casio CDP-130BKC5 together with a stand three few years ago and have been very happy with it - it's an 88 key piano. So I would definitely recommend either that particular piano or something similar.

                  At the Moment I think I will go for a "Yamaha YDP-S52WH" (about $1000). Not easy portable, but that is also no Need. Next Weekend I will go to test it. Let's see

                    I'd recommend a MIDI keyboard (controller), with all 88 keys, connected to a computer. A good one will have weighted keys, and be pressure sensitive, and come with pedals. I use an older version of this[^] Studiologic controller and am very happy with it. A good one won't be cheap, but still way less than a piano (assuming you already have something to plug it into).
