[Loonerty]

Hai!
Im needing some advice from you musical nerds.

My six year old kid has fallen in love with the piano, he plays it for literally hours a day, loves it as much as Minecraft (which he seems to enjoy like a junkie enjoys smack).

Of course when I say piano I mean a cheap Casio keyboard piece of sh*t.
Now although hes not a prodigy he seems like he has a bit of a knack for it- knows all the notes, has taught himself songs from listening to them and creates his own tunes that only sometimes make me want to stab myself in the ear with a fork.

In essence he has shown enough interest and aptitude that I thought I would be remiss if I didn't put my hand in my pocket and get him something decent.

Then I went piano shopping...

Wow.
Im NOT dropping $10k+ on a something he might decide is 'pooey' next week.

Which brings me to my question.
Digital pianos- any good?
Any suggestions?

1 vote off top 10, damn it

 

[spookism]

Yeah that 13th place finish sure showed me.

Not sure what my finishing place has to do with you currently melting.

 

[por_please_ya]

It was a very unsatisfying song. Hard to describe, their singing left the feeling unfinished.

Being in a real long distance relationship, I connect with the lyrics on a personal level. But even before I was in that relationship, I always liked the song. Then again, I am a big Snow Patrol fan.

 

[PMBangers]

Whoever billied me didn't listen to the song, I can't be convinced otherwise
