Find a chick who’s just been dumped and comfort her by massaging her shoulders, and soon, she’ll be massaging your prostate.
Don't get anything under 5 octaves! get as many features as you can afford.I bought mine second hand from a music teacher - it had been devalued so much through IRD, i got it for book value -$400, prolly worth somewhere around $1500 with stand, carry case etc.

Five octaves is like a 61ish keys?

What are you wanting to using for... live performance, tinkering, midi controller for the PC and other devices etc
But yeah anything under 5 octives you will run out of keys very fast.
Just to play by myself, practice etc, I don't really need it to took upto the comp etc.

Don't get anything more than 8 keys! You've only got 8 fingers...

consider actually getting an electronic piano too, (with 88 keys) will give you more options if you get more serious into it and usually has most of the functions of a keyboard. Tend to be more expensive but on trademe you should be able to find one slightly over your price range.
Whatever you buy, make sure the keys are weighted and the keys are sensitive to velocity or whatever they call it (so that when you strike a key lightly it actually plays like you struck it.) ie. watch for some of the cheap old keyboard on which the keys can be simple on/off switches.
I have deep pockets. It's just that it's a deep empty pocket...........

Its called "touch sensitivity"

Weighted keys start at $1000 at least, and I don't think its really necessary for a learner.
Touch sensitivity is good idea though.
Casio do a good learners keyboard for $599 - the CTK591
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

If you're lookin at a second hand one make sure you turn it on and do scales up/ down the keyboard to make sure all the keys work. If it has touch sensitivity that you can turn off/on make sure that all the keys work in that too.
All so (I think this is a common thing nowadays but it wasn't a while back, might depend on size of keyboard) some keyboards you can run it off batteries... I found it quite handy as then I could go any where I wanted![]()
Hope you find a good one![]()
