Electronic Keyboard Thingies are the BEST!!!!!
You can change the Voices on them to sound like an Organ, or a flute, or a “Thousand Strolling Strings” or whatever!
You can add Beats!
You Make instant Accompaniment!
You can pick it up and take it with you!
AND BEST OF ALL.....
IT NEVER GOES OUT OF TUNE!!!!!!!
Yamaha makes the Best ones, with Casio a close second. Avoid radio Shack Knock-offs.
Authentic Gospel Music uses Blues Riffs! LOL!
One more tip (well, actually two):
If you want to learn to play a real piano, an electronic piano will do fine, so long as it has:
1. 88 keys;
2. Weighted hammer action.
I had a great Yamaha keyboard a up until a few years ago - and either gave it to someone or sold it in a yard sale.
What was I thinking?
