Keyboards for under £100

[Killbot]

Could anyone recommend a decent keyboard for around $300 or under? Or is that statement a contradiction...

i'd have to go with a contradiction. Although maybe you may be able to find something used in that range, who knows?

Under 100 ?

Maybe you could go to Wal-Mart... I don't see any decent thing under 250 (used) or 350 new...

I've figured I could probably spend up to £160 or so, which is about $300, bear in mind I'm not looking for something great, just something that's not a complete pile of junk or is it seriously not worth it?

Well, that's only thing that I've found:

isnt that just a controller though?

Yeah MIDI controller, but for >200

At least he can buy this, some MIDI cable and put some sound on his computer...

That's odd, I found a few keyboards for under $300 with a quick internet search, is there a good chance they'll be complete shit? For example, would buying a Casio WK3700 or Yamaha YPG-225 not be worth it at all?

 

[Fetzer]

You asked for a decent keyboard...

I mean, you can go to the nearest walmart, and buy something for 50 or 100$, but it will not be "decent".

For the two you listed, I see 500$/600$ for them, if you can have them for 300 or less, it's a good thing I think.

I suppose 'decent' was pretty vague. I'm not looking to create something really serious, I just wanted to make some music, a small bedroom project thing and not have to use a bunch of sounds that are totally cheesy.
