Heya! You guys have been soo helpful to me so far as I start my journey into making music! So I thought I'd ask for advice on buying my first Midi Keyboard.

This will be my first instrument ever. I don't know how to play any instrument, so I am an absolute beginner. But I basically want something I can write melodies with as i like to work over the top of loops and stuff. Nothing too complex.

I am big fan of buying pre-owned stuff too, I love to get extra use out of something someone no longer needs, especially if it means I don't end up buy some cheap rubbish of Amazon or something.

In terms of features, I am not too picky. But I am also very open to suggestions that someone like me might benefit from when looking.

So, to sum it up:

Where is a good place to look for Pre-Used beginner midi keyboards?

Is there anything I should keep in mind feature wise that would help me starting out?

Are there any specific models I should look out for?

Thank you everyone! <3

I've been meaning to get a mechanical keyboard for awhile - but I would really like to actually get my hands on some different types to see which one is right for me.

Micro Center carries the Cherry MX Reds - but nothing else.

Is there anywhere in Cbus that I can try out different types of mechanical keyboards? (I would like to try the Cherry line, but if there are others around the city - that would be fine, too).

Does anyone know?
