Medeli MK100 Keyboard

General

Many beginners are resistant to shelling out a few hundred quid for a keyboard, which makes perfect sense, since you never know if the life of a pianist is actually for you. A great choice for beginners, the Medeli MK100 keyboard is a more-than comfortable and affordable starting point that comes stuffed with options to support your first steps as well as the following years you'll spend developing your skills - and you don't even need to ransack the piggy bank to get your hands on one.

The Medeli MK100 Keyboard

For your hard-earned cash, you get treated to a fat polyphony of 64 notes, which is a highly comprehensive note depth that, once upon a time, you could only find with more elite keyboards. You also get 480 different sounds to play and experiment with and a bank of 160 different rhythm styles so you can find the perfect beat to match. There's also a built-in lesson system that teaches you to play songs, and thanks to a fitted USB/MIDI port, this keyboard can be directly connected to a computer and set up to control virtual instruments in your DAW via MIDI. Basically, while this is a beginner's keyboard, it compiles more than enough functions and features to keep you learning and practising, and since it can be powered by six AA batteries, you can learn and practise virtually anywhere.
