I'm a total beginner, (still learning scales) but I wanted something I could grow into over time. The Yamaha PSR E473 seems to fit the bill for me. The piano sound is just like the real thing, which was the main interest for me, and there are plenty of features and sounds fro when I get more accomplished. Rimmers music was excellent, delivered quickly and at a great price too!

As good as I had hoped, just a little bit more complicated than I thought.
