I'm starting to learn keys and a friend told me that it's better to start with a piano. I don't have the space for one, so a e-piano is probably the best choice. Requirements: piano-like weighted keys; if possible midi and a nice piano sound. I heard that those e-pianos are rather expensive, which is a problem for me. The most important part are the keys tough, and a way to produce sounds that convinces at least me that I'm playing a piano and not a washing machine :) Good luck to you Dirk.
