I'm holding out for another deal on the Kawai ES920!!! Really need to pick something up for our daughter who has been taking lessons. Looking for a portable solution that has the option to sit in a console (vs full console) and something that's a little better than a beginner-intermediate piano (because both my wife and I would like to play on it and I like the idea of having a vast array of different sounds too for potential recording, etc)

Worth it to spend the $100 more and get the kit at Costco? Comes with stand, bench, pedal and headphones.

Yes, it's the FP-10 in the kit. They had it out in the store and it feels lovely. Very interested in getting one.

Presumably since this has MIDI connectivity, anything it doesn't have onboard for voices can be offloaded to a DAW instead.

Are there better options that drop into this ~$500 price range that have weighted keys and MIDI connectivity? Or even just better options under $1k in terms of key feel and velocity sensitivity/accuracy? How does this compare to something like the Alesis Recital Pro 88-key Hammer-action, in terms of just key action, since both can be used as MIDI instruments?

I grew up with my mom's upright, I'd like to have something to play on again now and then and teach my daughter on, and I'm not too picky about how a digital piano sounds by itself, but I'd like something that has the right key action feel and is reliably accurate for velocity and pressure, if it has MIDI out… and few of the "best of" lists seem to give a great view just from those perspectives (when they aren't just super shill Amazon link farms, ugh)

I've pondered that same thing before. I think the included bench/stand are not as good as the ones you'd buy separately, so the question is "are they good enough?" and I don't have an answer for that unfortunately. Wave

Worth because you need at least 3 of those accessories. Procuring them separately is bit of a chore.

The pedal is included with the keyboard itself.

I recently got this keyboard and a generic portable stand. The keyboard does not feel solid in it. I think this stand, which is designed for the keyboard, screwed into it, and is not portable, would be much more substantial than a cheaper third party stand like I got.

This is a weird link because if you search the website and do not click on the sk link you will see regular price?!

A few months ago I bought the FP-30X and was trying to figure out why the Roland stand was so much for cheap particle board. If you can cut wood, you can make your own easily. I made my stand out of solid pine, sanded and painted black.... Did pocket holes for a nice finish. Overall I think was under $50 in materials and didn't take much time, plus was way more sturdy. Just an idea, also, I found the better Roland seat on ebay for $40.

Can someone realistically teach themselves how to play this with medium amount of effort?

Probably the easiest way to learn is to find a good app. We use an app called Simply Piano. It has helped my kids learn how to play and now I'm using it.

Good keyboard action for the price. Great to use as a budget midi controller.

Either find somewhere to try it first, or buy somewhere that you can return it if you don't like. There are a bunch of major brands with entry level weighted key pianos, but unsurprisingly they all have different feeling keybed action.

I personally do not like the Roland FP keybed action. I prefer 1. Kawai, 2. Yamaha, 3. Casio,… but keybed feel is totally subjective. You could love the Roland feel.

Yes, assuming that your goals are mainly for enjoyment and personal achievement. If you think that you'll be busking for cash in a few years, you'll definitely want to get a teacher.

Peek around https://reddit.com/r/piano to chat with other piano players of all experience range.

There are enough people that aren't handy, don't have tools, or time, and thus there's a market for mdf piano stands.
