    Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question but...

    I don’t have the space (or the budget!) for a real piano but would like to upgrade my cheap keyboard to a digital piano (they seem to be the best for resembling pianos) and was wondering if anyone would have some suggestions for me?

    My budget would be up to a few hundred quid (but ideally less than that) and it would be mostly just used for leisure.

    Thanks in advance!

    Yamaha

    Clavinovas sound great and feel even better.

    I got a Yamaha CP3 for £350 including a stand, case and pedal 2 months ago

    Thank you☺️

    I was thinking that Yahama would probably be the best brand to go with as it’s well renowned and it has a good reputation

    OP if it’s a MIDI keyboard you’re looking for I have a brand new one of these that you’re welcome to.

    It comes with a stand. Not sure whether I still have the software for the laptop though.

    I bought it for my daughter thinking it was a ‘normal’ keyboard. :rolleyes:

    PM me.....

    As space seems to be a matter, I recommend a digital stage piano.

    In case of new reasonable pricing digital piano, I go for Korg or Casio. I never found great about Yamaha or Kawai in the lower price range. They sell/dispaly the budgets to recommend their mid-ranges. But for Korg/Casio, the price range is their main targets.

    If a second hand CP/MP/RD/SP-xxxx in a good condition was available around, of course it wont disappoint you in terms of performance experience. Only the con is these are quite heavy to move around. Bit bigger than the aboves too. The size and weight are required for quality.

    Happy shopping!

    I'm going to splash the cash soon on a Yamaha CLP-635 - pricey buts sounds incredible...

    Sorry I’m only seeing these most recent replies now!

    I eventually decided to go ahead and treat myself and so I got a Yamaha P125, and so far so good- hopefully it will have been worth the big price tag in the long run
