This review is from: Yamaha PSR-290AD 61-Note Touch-Sensitive Portable Electronic Keyboard with AC Adapter (Electronics)

I bought this keyboard because I wanted to learn how to play the piano. The touch feels more like an electric plaything, rather than a real piano, but for the price it is fine. There is a built-in feature that helps you to learn how to play. First, you choose from a fairly extensive songlist. The first mode allows you to hit any key, but with the proper rhythm. The second modes allow you to practice one hand at a time. The nice thing about this, is that the keyboard will play the other hand for you, so you can still play the piece. Although this is fun, I don't think it's the best way to learn how to play. I bought some adult piano learning books and am plugging away at it. Overall, I'm happy with the keyboard and it will serve me well for learning piano basics. Someday I may upgrade, but I have to prove to my wife that I am serious about playing!
