Yamaha NP Keyboards

Honestly, I have never had the chance to play them, but given the technical characteristics, they do not seem like good keyboards for a pianist to me. I saw that they are not even 88 keys, and I didn't even bother reading further once I realized this...

Mhh I understand, well let's say I would need it rather for two reasons: first I have to have the piano repaired and so I will be without it for a couple of weeks; second I did a bit of math and saw that it is not worth installing the silent system on mine, so I was opting for the keyboard so that maybe I could learn a few bars in the evening without disturbing anyone

I understand, well, everyone uses digital keyboards, especially in apartment buildings, but I advise you to get yourself something better. Spend a little more, but it's still something that you keep and make use of. Buying those keyboards seems like a real waste of money to me.

You think so? More or less how much can a "decent" keyboard cost?

I really think so. It's useless to spend money on beginner keyboards for those just starting out; if you want to make music, I'm not saying you need a 10,000 euro digital piano, but you should plan to spend at least 600/800 euros. Maybe look into used ones as well... With 800 euros, you can get a good used keyboard.

Let's say for around 600 euros you can find the Yamaha P95s, the one I have, but I am seriously thinking of changing it in favor of a digital grand if I find space to put it at home. By this, I don't mean that it's terrible, but it is worth that amount of money. The sound is what it is and the keys are only weighted; in short, there isn't a mechanism that simulates the hammer hitting the string inside.

Around 800 you can opt for a Kawai CN22. This has AHA action, meaning it simulates that of an acoustic grand piano, non-interpolated samplings, and 96 voices of polyphony. A decent digital piano. So far I have spoken about new ones.

Around these figures for used gear, you could opt for a Kawai MP6, or a Roland FP4F. Here we are already in a good segment of digital pianos... Between the two, I prefer the Kawai.
