From the Argos eBay site, this is a brand new 5 octave, full size keys, keyboard. Not a bad spec for under £51
I'm a piano teacher and this really wouldn't make a bad keyboard for a beginner as it does have the same size keys as a 'proper' piano, so it's easy to migrate from and if it's not for them, you're not going to lose a lot of money at £51 delivered!
It would last them for the first year, at least. After which they would need weighted keys and touch response but then you're talking £250+ to be honest so this is a great first step
This is £100 in store at Argos for some reason, making this a proper bargain. I would stock up but they're bulky old things!

You don't need an expensive instrument to become proficient.
My wife learnt how to play on a vicar's ropey old organ.

What's worse? Making a funny comment that people enjoy, or reply negatively and pointlessly to the comment? Seems you also have nothing better to do!

Thanks OP, bought one.
FYI, the £99 version in the Argos store includes a stand (worth £25) and headphones - so this way I can use a table or desk, and headphones I already had and save £48

Do make sure you are using the correct posture though if you're not using a proper stand or you could get aches and pains after practicing sessions. Glad the post is of help though.

I had kept this page open so I would remember to check that myself. If it had MIDI I'd have been somewhat interested, but if it doesn't... shame.

Would be perfect for me - if it had MIDI :disappointed:
Still a good deal though and heat added :smiley:

This must be the funniest deal I've ever seen on HUKD :smile:. I really wish I was a piano teacher right now :-) I'll probably buy this piano just to become one!

You really have to pump the bellows on those older models to get anything out of the pipes. I bet she was pulling out all the stops.

Bought a similar "beginner" "starter" keyboard albeit a Yamaha for the kids but need to replace for one with touch sensitive keys.
Something to consider.

I recommend only concert grand Bechsteins after RCM grade 2 but a baby grand from a German manufacturer will do until that point. Steinway is simply not up to the job! They are a shoddy US company pretending to be German. Look, one of their brands is ESSEX. Talk about a chavtastic lack of class.

I'm a piano teacher and would encourage children to have these in their bedroom but to practise on a real piano if possible
