This is a Casio CTK-3500. I would strongly recommend it for beginner piano players. I think I payed about $140 for it with the foot pedal.
(edit): Here's a link to the keyboard. If you do end up getting a keyboard of some type, I highly recommend one with weighted keys. Worth the extra 20 or 30 dollar difference.
Thanks for the reassuring response!
I've narrowed it down to two keyboards:
Yamaha E-363
Casio CTK 3500
Which one do you think I should purchase? The price diff. is not an issue. E363 seems better as it has more touch sensitivity levels, but I'm curious if it has some hidden downsides.
I'm also hearing the Casio CTX-700 has superior sound systems, but I'm trying to get too complicated here.
Would love to hear from you.
I expect you will be fine for that purpose with a ~$100 keyboard. Probably many would work, but I have used the ctk 3500 and it was quite adequate for that kind of thing. The main hazard is owning an instrument like this seems to predispose the user to upgraditis. The fact you never see used ones offered at much of a discount, to me suggests selling one might be easy.
