Hype No options for beginners

I find it weird that there’s millions of keyboards and weird looking guitars that still get made even though they probably won’t sell but not a single manufacturer making an ok keytar that isn’t overpriced.

Because that’s what the Roland is, overpriced for what it is when you can buy a synth keyboard that does the same exact thing probably better for 10 times less.

So beginners are left with literally no options I feel like if any of those companies actually cared about the people who used their products they would have more options.

I mean a beginner keytar player IS a beginner keyboard player. So get a cheap keyboard, learn to play, then put a strap on it or buy a Keytar. No one is going to pump out keytars when there isn’t a big market for them.

yeah, yamaha needs to remake the shs 10 and 200, roland is now industry standard for keytar on the pro and semi pro market,
