Yamaha DGX505-K Silver/Beech Digital Piano Thats the name.

Does anyone know if its good, like does it have weighted keys, good piano sounds and such?

Any help would be great because i really need a full size keyboard.

That's not cheap! I have a DGX-203 and it cost me $300! =_=

Anyways, that keyboard does have 88 keys, but they're not weighted. The sound's nice, though. ^_^

Ok so its not cheap, (but compared to good ones, @_@ )

I really wanted weighted keys, but oh well. Whats this im hearing about the recording facilities, Is it midi or proper?

Sorry i ask a lot of questions but i want to know.

And 300 dollars. In England it cost 500 pounds. Damn

Sorry to dig up a dead post for like a month, but anyways.

I believe it's a MIDI keyboard.
A digital piano is better bang for your bucks, but may cost you a little more.
The difference is the tone and cost -- I'd go with a digital piano (with pedals, etc). You can still connect the both the MIDI and digital piano to the computer but the digital sounds more realistic than a MIDI keyboard.
