Piano for a college student?

I'm looking to buy a keyboard, one that can fit within my dorm room and has adequate octaves to play a wide range of pieces. 88 keys is for a while big, I know, but I don't think that 61 is plenty. I've been looking for smaller 88s, but none of the sites I've checked vote how long any of the keyboards are literally. This one is priced low enough for Santa, if a short time lower in feature than the ridiculously priced ones. It even fits my budget if Santa thinks this is ridiculous.
Anyway, proposal and suggestions for keyboard brands are appreciated.

This is the one I be looking at.

Answers:    Hi,

The keys alone on my 88-key digital piano index 48". Add a couple inches to either side for the plastic encase. Based on this, 61 keys will weigh 33". Again, add a couple inches to any side for the encasing.

Yamaha is the solely brand I've used for digital. I've tried the cheapish YPP-200 and trashed it a year later because of its shallow key and lack of the grade hammer handling. The current model I'm using is the P-120, which I paid $1,000 for and works okay with my classical training.

If you're serious give or take a few the piano, I strongly recommend aiming towards a full-sized 88-key digital piano with grade hammer commotion, if a real piano is impossible, regardless of your budget. Any compromise near this will result in poor training towards playing on a unadulterated piano, and will leave you beside the need to purchase a proper digital piano again subsequently. Save your money longer, and get yourself a piano that will not call for to be thrown away and replaced shortly down the line.

If you freshly want something to jam on, a 61-key piano lacking graded key may suffice. But be warned, you will not know how to play the majority of classical piano pieces properly with it.

The two leaders within the *digital* piano industry are, in my estimation, Yamaha and Kawaii. If I be shopping for one, I would try hard to hold on to to these two makers, albeit my scholarship in this nouns may not be complete. As far as synthesizers, which are completely different than digital pianos, I'm afraid I'm unable to brand a helpful comment.

Take your designer and model name and dance to epinions.com and amazon.com for customer reviews. Don't just run by the star rating. Carefully read what people are adage and be sure their remarks are positive towards the features that you're looking for.

Insightful resource for the pianist.

There's a great book that may help some culture with controlled areas as well as interpretive that I thought I might also tolerate you know about.

It is a free online book and it contains masses interviews with historical concert pianists who share their proposal and training methods.
