Hi everybody:

(in advance sorry for my english)

I've lurking 'round for a a while in these forums, and just love it...

Now my sad story (hope not to bore you if you want to see my principal point just go bottom):

I've been "studying" piano for about seven years (mostly by my self as i couldn't get a real piano teacher, because I live in a small city)but as a self taught i made a mess of my self, which I discovered 2 years ago, when i got my first real (great one) piano teacher, not in my town, but in the capital of my state....

Not to tell everything i got to do to repair all my vices and defects, it would take too much... anyway, if someone want to know just ask me and I'll gladly bore you

well, before that i used to play in a cheap keyboard (a yamaha psr 230) with only spring action, now my teacher told me that it was useless for studying real piano....

But then i couldn't afford an acoustic piano, however I could use a piano in a public piano school ( its not just piano, supposed to be an "arts house" that are made by the government, this one just stink), it was a yamaha ( the cheapest ones I guess) it wasn't as good as some of the pianos in my school but well, it was a real piano :rolleyes: , but unfortunately for "adminstrative decisions" I can't use this piano anymore....

And yet can't afford a real piano, not to mention a great one.... so now I've been like a month without a piano, and i'm close to freak out about it....

I didn't considered a digital, because my teacher told me to stay away from then digitals, in fact her daughter ( piano teacher too) gave me a big NO for the digitals, almost saying that it was useless for studying.....

But my teacher (the mom, whose opinion i respect the most) gave me green light for the digital, in fact she recommended me the yamaha P60, ( i think as a lifesaver option), and i started making my digital piano research in the web (this is how i got here ) and I've read a lot of posts and topics in this forum and got my conclusions and i think digitals are not as bad as my teacher's daughter says ...

First it seems that Yamaha got the better and heavier piano action, a plus for me, im classical oriented, i need the best fake real action....

I first decided for the p60, the cheapest one, but I decided to push budget a lil more for the p90 (for technical reasons 64 polyphony, half pedal, 3 layered piano) as i think is a much better digital than the 60 and only costs $100 US more,

Now my decisions is based on what i read on the net and this forum , I wish i could actually play them to made a decision, but the piano's are pre ordered, and don't have them in the store.....

oops too much talkin sorry

in short words I've decided for the p90 (even if doesn't have on board speakers), is it a noticeable better piano than the p60?

the prices I got are the followin (they are much more higher than in the USA)

p60 $980
p90 $1105
p120 $1440 ( i heard this is a good one piano, unfortunately is out of my budget by far)

thanks if you read all of these.....
greetins!!!!

From my personal experience/opinion, the Yamaha P90 is definately better than the P60, and well worth the extra money if you can afford it.

Keep in mind that you'll need some sort of amplifier, speaker system, or headphones.

You may also want to look into a Roland FP-2 or used FP-3. They should be in a similar price range.
