OT: Best keyboard under $500 ?? - 07/15/03 07:14 PM

A friend is looking to buy a keyboard to learn on - and doesn't want to spend more than $500. I suggested the Roland XP10, Korg X5D and PSR-550 as possible choices.

BTW: - I have to assume he is interested in an arranger type board as he loves my PA80.. but can't justify more than the $500.

Your thoughts on the subject ?
Thanks,
Steve

Why did you recommend 2 non arrangers then? There are LOTS of choices under $500.
Just curious.

We just had a loooong discussion on this subject a few posts down with title "Looking for a good Keyboard to learn to play ". The quick answer is it depends what your priorities are but the thread will discuss it in great detail.
