SUGGESTIONS FOR BUYING A KEYBOARD
Yamaha NP12 61-Key Piaggero Digital Piano $220
Yamaha NP32 76-Key Piaggero Digital Piano $330
I have a few NP32 keyboards that I’m selling for $190. They’re like new. Included is the Yamaha NP32 76-Key Piaggero Digital Piano, Power Adaptor, and a Yamaha Carrying Case. If purchasing new, this bundle would total $395. For pickups only in Gonzales, TX or Canyon Lake, TX.
Keyboard Stand: A piano is lower than a table; there should be 10” between the top of the bench and the top of the white piano key. So instead of putting the keyboard on a table, please consider purchasing a keyboard stand. The most common type of keyboard stand is an “X” stand for about $30, but it can easily be pushed over. If you place an “X” stand against a wall, then it should be alright. Any chair or stool can be used with this keyboard stand. Some keyboards are sold bundled with an “X” stand and a bench.
- If I were looking to buy a keyboard for a young beginner, this is the one I would buy.
- 61 keys will suffice through Level 5 piano music.
- Required, but sold separately: Yamaha Power Adaptor PA130 $15
- Optional, but recommended: Yamaha FC5 Compact Sustain Pedal $15
Yamaha NP32 76-Key Piaggero Digital Piano $330
- This is the same keyboard as above, but with 76 keys.
- 76 keys will suffice through Level 8 piano music.
- Required, but sold separately: Yamaha Power Adaptor PA130 $15
- Optional, but recommended: Yamaha FC4A Piano Sustain Pedal $30

Recommended camera placement is to the side of the student's piano so Colleen can see the student's face and hands on the piano keys:
