This is one of the best deals for the money. Edit to add: this keyboard appears to be a hybrid of the FP-10x and FP-30X and shares the same action as the FP-60X at a fraction of the price. I started with an FP-10x and it was a great keyboard. The speakers were mediocre and the number of sounds limited, but you could always use it to drive an amp and a laptop. I was always using the default piano, anyway. I upgraded to an FP-90x, but tbh it isn't as much better as the price would lead you to believe (4x as much). I have since upgraded to a refurbished Yamaha UX at my piano teacher's urging. She said she could notice a difference in my touch after only a few weeks. I still use the 90x for fun stuff, but almost everything I do is on the real piano now. More on reddit.com
