Electronic Keyboards & Keyboard Pianos for Sale

Electronic Keyboards

Whether you are learning your first songs, practising at home or looking for a portable instrument for rehearsals and performances, an electronic keyboard gives you a convenient way to play without the size and weight of an acoustic piano. DJ City stocks electric keyboards and keyboard pianos in a range of sizes, including popular 61-key and 88-key models. Choose from beginner-friendly keyboards with built-in learning features through to more advanced instruments for performers, schools, studios, theatres and houses of worship.

What Should You Look for in an Electronic Keyboard?

Start by considering the number and style of keys. A 61-key keyboard is generally more compact and easier to transport, making it a practical choice for beginners, casual players and musicians with limited space. An 88-key keyboard provides the full range of a traditional piano and may be better suited to players developing two-handed piano technique or performing more advanced music. Key feel also varies between models. Unweighted or touch-sensitive keys can provide a light and responsive playing experience, while semi-weighted and weighted keys offer more resistance. If realistic piano feel is your main priority, compare this range with our digital keyboard pianos.

Built-in Sounds, Speakers and Connectivity

Many electronic keyboards include built-in speakers, allowing you to start playing without connecting a separate amplifier. Depending on the model, you may also find a selection of instrument sounds, rhythms, accompaniment styles, recording functions, lesson modes and headphone connections for quieter practice. If you want to connect your keyboard to a computer, check for USB or MIDI connectivity. Some electronic keyboards can send MIDI data to recording software, although their main purpose is still to operate as a standalone musical instrument. If you primarily want to control virtual instruments or produce music inside a DAW, a dedicated MIDI keyboard may be the more suitable choice. You can also learn more about how controllers work in our guide to using MIDI controllers in a creative workflow.

Do You Need a Keyboard Stand or Sustain Pedal?

Before buying, check exactly what is included with the keyboard. Some products are sold as complete packages with a stand, bench, headphones or pedal, while others include only the keyboard and power supply. A sustain pedal allows notes to continue sounding after you release the keys and can make piano-style performances feel more expressive. A suitable keyboard stand also places the instrument at a comfortable playing height. Always check the keyboard’s pedal connections, dimensions and weight before selecting accessories.

Choosing a Keyboard for a Beginner

A beginner keyboard does not need every available feature. Useful starting points include a comfortable key size, clearly labelled controls, built-in speakers, a headphone connection and sounds that encourage regular practice. Portable models can also be easier to store between lessons. For more help comparing entry-level instruments, read our guide to the best digital pianos and keyboards for beginners.

Should a beginner choose a 61-key or 88-key keyboard?

A 61-key keyboard is usually sufficient for beginners learning chords, scales and popular songs. It is also lighter, easier to store and more portable. An 88-key keyboard provides the full range of an acoustic piano and is a better long-term option for classical music, advanced two-handed pieces or formal piano lessons. Key feel matters too, so consider whether you want light, touch-sensitive, semi-weighted or fully weighted keys.
What is the difference between an electronic keyboard, a digital piano and a MIDI keyboard?

An electronic keyboard is typically a standalone instrument with built-in sounds and, in many cases, speakers, rhythms, and accompaniment features.

A digital piano is a type of electronic keyboard designed to recreate the sound and playing feel of an acoustic piano, often with 88 weighted keys.

A MIDI keyboard is primarily designed to control music software or other MIDI-compatible equipment and may not produce sound on its own. The right choice depends on whether you want to learn piano, perform live or produce music using a computer.
Can an electronic keyboard connect to a computer or recording software?

Many electronic keyboards can connect to a PC or Mac using USB-MIDI or a traditional MIDI connection. This can allow the keyboard to control software instruments, enter notes into a DAW or record performance data. However, a USB connection does not always transmit the keyboard’s actual sound; some models send MIDI data only.
Do electronic keyboards come with a stand and sustain pedal?

It depends on the product or package. Some keyboards include a stand, bench, headphones or sustain pedal, while others are supplied with only the keyboard and power adaptor. Check the “what’s included” information on the product page before ordering. If buying accessories separately, confirm that the stand supports the keyboard’s dimensions and weight and that the sustain pedal is compatible with its pedal input and polarity.
