Yamaha NP-15 Piaggero 61 keys

The specialist's opinion

The Yamaha NP-15 is a lightweight, portable piano-style keyboard with the features you need.

The 61-note keyboard (a classical piano has 88) is perfect for playing pop tunes or simple classical pieces.

Although the keys are the same shape as those on a piano, the keyboard is lighter, making it easy for beginner pianists to learn, rather than having the heavier feel of a standard piano keyboard . You can also use headphones with the NP-15 if you are worried about disturbing those around you when exercising.
