Looking into buying an electric piano: dumb question time. Much to my dismay, the family piano has been sold... I want to buy an electric piano and I have a question... a lot of the ones I see don't have sustain pedals... are they sold seperately? How do they work?
I've only ever used a traditional Grand Piano so I don't really know much about this... any help would be greatly appreciated. | |

spend a little extra money and get the sustain pedal that looks like the real piano pedal. it won't run away on u. it stays put well and has a better feel. the sustain pedal is the least of your worries. I would recommend you get a synth/workstation with weighted keys like the Yamaha MO8 or the Korg Triton Extreme or Studio. | |

You mean this? .... Thanks for the replies. It sure looks good. Are the piano sounds authentic? Also, where's the best place to buy a workstation like that for a good price? [Edited 7/6/06 3:13am] | |

For piano, go Yamaha.
Depending on your price range, you can get the p200, or the p90..... although i think thye upgraded to new models now . I hve both of the above. they both come with sustain pedals. one is portable, the other isn't. action is like apiano. | |
