Evening all.

I used to play a bit when i was younger but as often happens i let it fall away.

I've picked it up again and have started to get busy again. Some things are coming back easier than other but i'm now at the point where i think i'll need to invest in a bigger piano.

Currently my setup is a MacBook Pro (garageband), iPad pro (for flowkey and other learning things) and a really old A300-Pro Cakewalk MIDI keyboard (ROlans built).

Looking at the market i think i've found that the Roland FP-30 is where i need to be and watching various youtube reviews confirms i'm looking at the right level of features.

I just wanted to reach out to the PH folks and see what's what and if there is another keyboard i'm missing. The FP-30 is £469 at the lowest which isn't a huge amount of money and if i do get bored again they seem to hold their money well.

Thanks!

edit: Just seen there is another thread asking almost exactly the same thing, sorry!

There is that I suppose. Any of these can be solo. I guess the only real thing I need is a good, decent feel and a headphone output for silent practice. The house have made me aware that I'm confident with twinkle twinkle little star.
