Yes that is the model, though if you can get out to Bravas Music, you can buy it on ebay and pick it up for $889, which is the best price I've seen

You can connect it to a computer and use it as a full Synth that way, but even without a computer the 330 can record your daughter's performances to its built in SD card, and it can provide accompaniment when she plays using its built in instruments. It also has a metronome built in, enough polyphony to never be a problem, ability to split the keyboard into Duet mode so that a tutor and student can play at the same time, and a raft of other features that make it perfect for learning, but advanced enough that she would never outgrow it, as I said I use it for gigs as my goto keyboard.
There is some great software available too, as it has midi functionality.
The most important part is the fully weighted hammer keyboard action if she is learning to play, most midi controller keyboards don't have the real piano feel, and she will have to 'un-learn' a lot to transition to real piano.
The Casio on ebay feels very much like the Steinway I have as my main piano, very similar feel. (Anything without a fully weighted, graded hammer action is a waste of time for learning to play really.)
Good luck with the purchase and with the lessons! There is some great free software available too that can help with lessons at home to reinforce what she learns at school.

Thanks mate for all the feedback. I've checked one on eBay going for the $900.00 ball park. Is that similar to what you recommend? |
