That’s good to hear! I was wondering about the sound quality. Does it sound realistic in a live setting?
Absolutely! The Korg B2 has a good range of sounds and they come through nicely in performances. Plus, it has decent connectivity options too.
I really love my Casio Privia PX-160. It has a fantastic piano sound and the keys feel great under my fingers. Any other Privia users here?
I’m a Privia fan too! The action on those keyboards is surprisingly good for the price. Just wish it had more voices.
I had the chance to play a Yamaha CP88, and it was such a dream! The build quality is top-notch. You definitely get what you pay for.
Yamaha really makes stellar keyboards. Any thoughts on their warranty? I’ve heard it can be quite reliable.
Yes, their warranty is solid! I had an issue, and their customer service was very responsive. They replaced my keyboard within weeks.
I’m skeptical of how much weight really matters. I mean, can’t we just get used to any feel? Thoughts?

I think it depends on the player! Weighted keys can help with technique, especially if you’re transitioning to an acoustic piano.
Don’t forget about user reviews! I’ve seen some hilarious comments on keyboards, like one time summarizing the feel as ‘playing spaghetti’. 
Haha, I love it! It’s great when you can find humor in gear reviews. But also, they helped me steer clear of low-quality options!

After considering all these options, I’d like to emphasize checking the weight and size too! It makes a big difference for portability.
Good point! I didn’t think about that. I might need to narrow my options based on that factor alone.

When it comes to maintaining electronic keyboards with weighted keys, humidity is key! Keeping it between 30-50% is ideal to prevent damage. Check your local weather and consider using a dehumidifier if necessary.
Absolutely! I’ve noticed a difference since I bought a humidity monitor. It really helps keep my keyboard in top shape.
I recommend regularly checking key responsiveness by playing scales. If some keys feel sluggish, clean them gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Never use too much moisture!

Great tips! Also, don’t forget to update your keyboard’s software regularly. Updates can fix bugs and improve performance significantly.
Totally agree! I’ve had issues that were resolved with an update. Always check the manufacturer’s website.

Another thing is to avoid direct sunlight. Long exposure can warp keys or affect internal components. Keeping it covered or in a case is a good idea.
That’s so true! I made that mistake once and regretted it. A good case is a must-have!
