You take a piano in your room or even to band practice (unless you have band practice at your house). The bottom line is that a keyboard has much more versatility than a piano. I going to show you some things you should look for when choosing a practice keyboard. Keyboards can range anywhere from less than $100 to almost $5k or more. It really depends on what you're looking for and what your price range is. Some keyboards have more features like MIDI compatibility, larger polyphony, and an onboard sequencer. Don't worry; I...
