Hi all,
I currently have a Yamaha U3 Upright piano from when I used to play classical music, but lately I've been getting into more modern styles which probably don't require a U3 piano. I was thinking of selling the piano and purchasing a weighted MIDI keyboard so that I could play piano, play other instruments, record with ease, and also have a set of sampler pads. I could probably sell the piano for 3 grand (canadian) and use the money to buy a keyboard and studio monitors (I currently mix on headphones ). Currently I am looking at the AKAI MPK88 MIDI Controller, which seems to fit my needs the best.
If you have experience with the MPK88 or have any tips or suggestions for selling the piano or have better suggestions for a MIDI keyboard, please let me know. Thanks!
TL;DR - Should I sell my Yamaha U3 Upright and buy an AKAI MPK88 MIDI Controller?
