Questions shoppers ask first

Do beginners need weighted keys?+

For piano lessons, yes — weighted action builds finger strength and technique that transfers to any piano. For synth/production fun, unweighted is fine.

61 or 88 keys?+

88 for classical or serious study; 61 covers most pop, worship and production work and is far more portable.

What accessories do I need?+

A stand at the right height, a sustain pedal, and a bench. Headphones make night practice possible.
