USB Midi Keyboard advice.

[GeertSamuel]

Hi guys,
I've got an uncle who is helping me out with my new bathroom, toilet and several other things in my house. As a token of my appreciation I'd like to give him something.

Now my aunt told me that since some months he's been busy with composing in Finale. Now he understands nothing about computers (he's 62), but he managed to teach himself to work with Finale.

Now like I said, out of appreciation I'd like to give him a MIDI keyboard to work with his composing.

Now I seriously have no clue on which one to get. It just needs to be simple, with TO many option, but also good enough to support his composing (mainly just Brass & Strings) skills in Finale.

Thanks..

Probably something like the M-Audio Keystation 49i would do? Keys are a little sproingy but it's really simple.

If he has ever played the piano then maybe he should have a 88 keys one?
Depends on how good your bathroom turned out I guess

Haha. Yeah I saw the 88 keys one from M-audio. Thinking about that one, thanks for the help guys!
Since he's not that much of a computer guy they Keystudio 49i probally has way to much options for him. I think the Keystation 88ES would be perfect for him.
Thanks!
