Check the vendor’s equipment guidance
Pianoforall’s FAQ currently describes a keyboard with at least 61 full-size, touch-sensitive keys and a sustain pedal as enough to start. It also discusses an 88-key weighted digital piano as an option when space and budget allow. Check the latest requirements before buying.
Key size, touch response and key action
Full-size keys describe physical size. Touch sensitivity means playing with a different force changes the volume. Weighted action describes the resistance and feel of the mechanism. These are different properties. A keyboard can have touch sensitivity without fully weighted action.
Set up your seat
Begin with a stable seat and enough room for your knees. Sit at a distance where your arms can reach the keys comfortably without crowding the keyboard. Adjust height and position to avoid constantly reaching up or hunching. Comfort and movement matter more than copying a photograph.
Keep your listening practical
Use a comfortable volume, and compatible headphones if your instrument supports them. Make sure you can hear the lesson and your own playing. The vendor says the instrument does not need to connect to its course: lessons can be viewed separately on a supported screen.
Before you buy another instrument
Check what you already have: key count, size, touch response, pedal input and a working sound output. Read the manual for pedal compatibility. Upgrade to solve a specific limitation, rather than assuming expensive equipment will replace practice.
