Music Banter - View Single Post - Learning to play the Piano

Ive started taking lessons yesterday after weeks of wanting to find a decent teacher and finally start learning how to play.

My teacher has told me it would be best for me to buy an electric hammer action piano to practice on at home, trouble is I dont have a spare 400quid lying around to buy one. My aunt and some other friends have pianos in their homes, but I cant get access to them every night like I would like to be able to practice.

What would be a good instrument to learn on at home between lessons bearing in mind it needs to be weighted keys I beleive?

I only have about £200 to spend at the moment, so a few examples of decent pianos that I could maybe find second hand would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Steve.
