I have about 3 small keyboards (the newest one being a Yamaha PSR-270, so it's kinda old) and a huge Roland. It's got 88 ivory keys and weighs about 70 pounds(maybe more). I've been playin' music in general for about 14 years now.
Bravo! Thank you for using correct grammar! And no I don't play keyboard, but I do a little bit of piano. However, my friend plays some keyboard. He bought a $2,200 Roland last year...not sure what model....but I know it's fricken nice
I've been playing for 6 years, but lately it hasn't been fun. I usually play it maybe once every two weeks now. Or when I have plenty of "do-nothing" time.
I play the piano. I've tried various keyboards over the years, but the lack of weighted keys bothers me. You have to get a pretty decent electric piano before the weight simulation is accurate enough.

Yeah, that gets to me too, which is why I love and hate my Roland. It has weighted piano keys but it's friggin' heavy. *sigh* Always tradeoffs...
I took lessons when I was younger, but my dad pressured me too much and when I was just a beginner and had my first recital, I wasnt as good as the other kids (who had been playing YEARS before me) and he got mad at me and yelled at me infront of everyone. :( I have a Yamaha...i forget the modle number....its been so long since I touched it...heh. Its back in WI right now. I would say I did alright for a beginner though :)...it helped me when I practice my vocals.
I would love to learn seeing as I can play guitar, bass, drums, harmonica... seemingly every instrument I have ever picked up I can get a decent tune out of, but for some reason I have always struggled with playing piano. I'm trying to get better, slowly but surely I hope I am.

thats the problem i have had, having played the piano initially.
Yup why not, I also play piano on my keyboard, the only thing stopping me from playing on real piano's is that the keys are heavy, i'm not used to that, the only time I can play real piano's is in the music shop :P
