hi, i'm looking to start learning piano and can't afford the price of a real piano. after doing a little research it seams like a digital piano would be a good option. I was wondering if you guys could give me some suggestions as to what digital pianos you think would fit this price range as well as other advice when buying a digital piano. i'm trying to find something that sounds and feels as realistic to a real piano as possible within this price range. Also hoping to be able to buy it though amazon, ebay, walmart ect.
thank you.

I have a suggestion for you, you can purchase a piano from: http://www.broughtonpianos.co.uk/ Here you will get lots of varieties of pianos brand.

You may have already bought one by now but here is my 2 cents worth.
I bought an inexpensive keyboard (Yamaha YPG235)a couple of years ago for about $250 U.S.
For the price it is a good beginner instrument. It has good sounds (digitally recorded to produce the top 100 voices). It also has some adjustment for sensitivity although they are not weighted keys so more like a keyboard than a real piano.There a lot of good features that you can research online.
There are many out there in the price range you are looking for especially in your upper range you should be able to get something decent. It would be a good idea to actually be able to play one before you buy it to see how it feels and sounds even if you want to then buy online.
