      Hey there, Paul. Thanks for writing in! Man, that Donner SE-1 is a lot of keyboard for the money. I've heard good things about them. My personal digital piano is a Roland. Good luck to you. If you need any help just let me know I'm a FlintLong.com Thanks! I'm happy for you!

      Thank you for writing in, Dwight! Question: Do you sing with your piano playing? Because if you do that makes it a whole lot easier in the piano dept., because you only have to strum the piano like a guitar to accompany yourself. It you don't sing with your piano playing, then your right hand will play the melody and your left hand will play the chords, takes a little more coordination in that case, but at your age in definitely can be done. i have students in their eighties who are making good progress all over the place. Thanks for you kind comments. (visit: FlintLon.com)
