So, I play bass and electric guitar and I'm going to college next Fall, of '08, to major in music.
I'm taking a college level Music Theory / Composition class right now at my high school, and I know once it gets more advanced (as it definitely will continue to, especially in college), it will be very beneficial to have some level of skill playing the piano.
I'm interested in getting pressure sensitive keys as well as weighted ones, but I want to get a keyboard because it will be more easily transported later. I don't want to buy a piano...
So, I've been looking at keyboards, and I'm finding that it's really expensive to get both of those features for a price under, say, $500. Ideally, I was kind've wanting to spend around $350 on a keyboard max.
And now, I came across a sale on Musician's Friend for an Adagio PDP-100 which has pressure sensitive, weighted keys and is selling for $299.95.
Here's the link: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Adagio-PDP100-Digital-Spinet?sku=702882
So, do any of you guys know if this is a good manufacturer/product?
Any experience with this keyboard?
Should I get it or not?
Got a better suggestion for a similar price?
