Title: What to Look for When Buying a Piano Keyboard + Smart Buying Tips

If you’re just stepping into the world of music or want to gift someone the joy of learning piano, buying a keyboard can be exciting—but also a little overwhelming. There are hundreds of options, so how do you pick the right one?

At Piano Korner, we’re here to make your decision easier. We’ve created this guide to help you understand what to look for, precautions to take, and how to confidently choose the right keyboard for your needs. Our goal is to make the piano buying journey smooth and joyful.

Why Piano Korner Store?

At Piano Korner, we don’t just teach music—we help you find the right tools to create it. We handpick keyboards so you don’t have to spend hours figuring out specs, reviews, and confusing features. On our store, you can easily search for the best keyboards under ₹10,000, ₹15,000, ₹20,000, or ₹50,000, based on your budget and need.

Let’s dive into what you need to consider when buying a keyboard:

1. Number of Keys

Most standard pianos have 88 keys, but beginner keyboards often come with 61 or 76 keys.

• For absolute beginners, 61 keys is fine to start with.
• If you’re serious about progressing into classical or full-range pieces, go for 76 or 88 keys.

2. Touch Sensitivity & Weighted Keys

• Touch-sensitive keyboards respond to how hard or soft you press the keys—this is crucial for expression.
• Semi-weighted or fully weighted keys feel more like a real piano and help develop finger strength and technique.

3. Polyphony (How Many Notes It Can Play at Once)

• Aim for at least 64-note polyphony to avoid note drop-outs when playing chords or using the sustain pedal.

4. Built-in Sounds and Features

• Most beginner keyboards come with different instrument sounds, rhythms, and metronomes.
• If you’re into music production, look for MIDI/USB connectivity.
• Built-in lesson modes and split keyboard functions can also be useful for learners.

5. Portability and Build Quality

• If you plan to carry your keyboard to classes or gigs, make sure it’s lightweight and has a durable build.
• Also, check whether it includes a power adapter and stand—some brands sell them separately!

✅ Precautions Before Buying

• Check brand reliability: Yamaha, Casio, Roland, and Korg are trusted.
• Avoid keyboards without touch sensitivity, especially if your budget is above ₹5,000.
• Don’t go for toys—many mini keyboards under ₹2,000 are more like toys and not suitable for learning.
• Compare prices only on trusted platforms (or use Piano Korner where everything is vetted).
