We bought a Roland FP30 for our daughter. Very pleased with it. That's £539 but is a step up from some of the cheaper ones. I was playing for an event where we rehearsed at our house. The piano player for that event teaches piano for a living, and he called me up the next week to ask the model number to recommend to a student.
Electric Piano equates to Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer et cetera. I think that you mean a digital piano.
I'm not just being pedantic for the hell of it. These terms are important when buying - especially mail order or pre-owned.
At the very least! Hammer action is desirable. Eighty eight keys.
If your daughter is attending lessons at the teacher's venue and, initially, learning on the tutor's instrument, the obvious thing to do is ask the tutor to recommend his or her idea of an instrument suitable for home study.
This video compares two Yamaha P Series instruments that should be affordable pre-owned. Jump to 16:00 to hear how they sound.
If you have a powerful home computer, the alternative approach is to use a MIDI Controller keyboard to trigger piano sounds that are hosted in the computer or tablet.
Find a decent teacher though. My childhood teacher was terrible, miserable old woman. My girls go to a brilliant teacher, very inspiring.
While its difficult to judge how much to spend on one so young, and while not a lot more £ gets you quite a bit better play ability and sound the Yam P45, Roland FP 30 (the yam P115 and Roland FP60 get you a good jump up in quality if you justify it)are good. There both "stage" piano format so you'll need pedal/s a stand (though both have internal speakers). The Casio CDP-130 is cheaper and very good for the money.
If you want a more piano look - and have the space for it permanently available, the Casio PX770 is probably the place to start. Its a very good all round machine for Just over £500.
Dont rule out the Casios.....They give the very best elec pianos a run for their money (at the top end of Casios range) and are highly regarded in this field.
Of course you should try the contenders if you can - and if you can find a used example of the one you like all the better at this stage.
Also the Yamaha P series - this is what we ended up with for my son - full size, fully weighted, cot about 500 at the time but he never had any trouble going between that and actual pianos
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
If he continues to show an interest then come back and think about spending a bit more.
