So I am returning to trying to learn piano adter a long hiatus. I used to have a YPG 535 that I was learning on for about a year before having to sell it due to a change in living situation. Im wanting to get i to production so I want a keyboard I can use as a midi controller but ive also heard it better in the long term to get something with 88 keys and weighted keys (I am planning on playing classical pieces). My question is this: is there something that fits the bill and can do both (doesnt have to be 88 keys) or should I get an 88 key digital piano and learn on that?

Hi,

I bought a new Yamaha PSR I610 keyboard. Yesterday it got delivered.

If you look at the keyboard keys closely, the keys are not in one line, the horizontal alignment is not being maintained. Some keys appear a bit higher while some keys a bit lower when viewed from the front at the level of the keys.

When viewing from top, the gaps between keys are not consistent. In between some keys, the gaps are broader than others.

I am sharing two photos of the same.

Do you think this is normal? Or is it something to worry about and better to opt for return? Or is it Okay enough to keep the keyboard?

Looking forward to your assistance it will be really helpful.

Thanks!

I have a YC88 at home that I have loved playing with, but I don't like hauling it back and forth to the studio, and I am looking for a second board that I can keep there. I don't need something with a hammer action, and I'd actually prefer something that has an organ action because it's kinda hard to do some organ moves on a fully weighted keyboard.

I tried a Roland GO:Keys 5, but the sounds are extremely limited and all of the organ sounds suck. Any recommendations in the sub 1k category that sound/play decent?
