Hello everyone friends! I am new to the forum and wanted to ask you for some advice. I have been a musician for about 10 years, always playing electric bass and guitar with my band, sometimes drums (alternative rock genre and such). For the first time, I would like to try my hand at the digital piano and I had spotted various models. My budget is around 300 euros (but even less if there is something good) and I am interested in something that has semi-weighted keys and focuses heavily on the "beautiful" classical sound (two of my favorite pianists are Nils Frahm and Olafur Arnalds). I was thinking about the Roland GO:PIANO to start, but then after researching I leaned a bit more towards the GO:KEYS given its greater versatility (since I would also use it as an arranger to make electronic music). What do you think? Would you have any other piano in that price range to recommend? Thank you in advance and have a nice day!

Hi Rovajaroo. On the used market, you can probably find something better. That amount for a new product doesn't give you much opportunity; maybe on the used market you can get something better with 88 weighted keys instead of a keyboard that forces you to play within only 5 octaves.
