I want to learn to play the piano but I don't have room in my house for that. I was wondering if you guys could recommend a keyboard I could use as a piano substitute.

I want to play music such as:
-Fur Elise
-Moonlight Sonata
-Other Classical Peices
-Hymns
--Amazing Grace
--Victory in Jesus
etc

Also I don't want to pay a ton for it. I'm willing to pay about 200 for it.

Also do digital pianos sound like regular pianos? Can you play passionatly with one? Can you show emotion with a digital piano?

-Thanks
Taylor

The LORD make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The LORD life up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace."

a cheapest digital piano will cost at least $400+, unless you'd satisfied with a regular keyboard (with no weighted action). $200 could only buy you a 61-key keyboard which has virtually not much dynamic range, unlike a digital piano which has dynanmic range for expression.
