You can not go wrong with Roland. go to you local music shop and express you concern to the nice man in the keyboard area. He will show you a few keyboards, and then feel free to puchase the cheapest one.

Why cheap?

1. 90% of the time a new instrument collects dust after a week. Especially if the child has had no training.

2. If you purchase the less expensive one, you can trade it in on a better one when the time is right. Keyboards can get expensive as hell.


Musical instruments are like computers. And the salesmen can be just as bad.
Nothing bothers me more than Grandma getting sold a top of the line gamer PC when in truth she wants to email her daughter in Ohio and will never use the PC for anything else. Same goes for instruments, don't be impressed by the man PLAYING the keyboard. He is not your son, and it will sound very different when you get it home.



This is all based upon your son having limited or no training on keyboards. If he is an experienced player, ( which i would doubt based on this post being posted in the first place) disregard and get him a nice Roland.
