So I finally went ahead and bought a keyboard. It really has everything I want. Small profile, weighted keys, very few features. I can’t wait!

I bought the BK model and not the BP model. The difference is in the polished wood. I just couldn’t justify the extra $500 for the polished finish. I hope I don’t regret not spending the extra dough.
I’m in the process of learning how to play the piano so I’ll post my adventures in learning to play here as well. I’m a total beginner so stuff I write is full of inaccuracies.
The first challenge is to find a good digital piano. I live in a small apartment in NYC. I need a decent instrument, good/low price, small, and with a real piano feel. I’ve read great things about Yamaha Clarinova, but I’m not really sure of the model.
There are tons of digital piano review sites out there, but I like this one: http://www.piano-keyboard-reviews.com/
The writer seems honest about his opinions of the products and I like the full disclosure.
