Bebop,

I am a lifelong musician who never really mastered the piano. In college, my classmates called me "steelfingers". One thing I do know is that you can't thoroughly learn an 88-key instrument with only 66 keys. On the other hand, unless you are planning to play some advanced compositions, you can probably play most of the songs you want on 66 keys.

I have a 60-key electronic keyboard in my gaage that belonged to my dad. He had a lot of fun with it.

Good luck, have fun, and invite all of us to your first recital!

Gary
