shell has been wanting one of these for years, she has always wanted to try and play the piano and i thought it would be best to start off on something cheaper as i wont be able to put a full size one on top of the cupboard when she is sick of it lol

 

anyhoo's ive spotted this and seems to fit the bill, anyone know much about them?

 

and being able to put headphones in so i dont have to hear her is a must, but this doesnt mention if it has a headphone socket?

I've yet to come across a keyboard that doesn't have a headphone jack and I've been playing for years - did it for a living at one point. As said though Yamaha is one of the better makes to go for with regards sound quality and build quality!

But... And a very big but, in my own opinion Yamaha's are good keyboards and all, but i would still start with a Casio, there is alot more on Casio's then Yamaha's for first time users and people who want to learn how to play, the first Keyboard you linked StellaZ is a great keyboard as it has light up keys, Shel will be able to pick it up quicker.

 

Remember thats my own opinion, and its that because i started on a Casio, long moved on since then though :)

That's what I was going to say until I realised it was out of stock anyway lol. Although the Yamaha has the education suite on it it's not nearly as good as having light up keys to show you what to do - having said that I had lessons when I was young so have no experience of learning by light up keys or by the Y.E.S. as they call it. HTH
