Looking to get into music

So I've been questioning what kind of instrument to buy.

I can play pretty basic rock songs on a Guitar and I have experience with drums.

But I've always loved piano music.

I don't own anything, and I'd prefer for it to be electric so I could plug it into a pc and listen on there.

Any recommendations? Like actual equipment? Been looking at Yamaha Electric keyboards. They're pretty cheap, pretty much around $200

Wouldn't want to buy a MIDI keyboard though, as I want to actually learn how to play first. Though I wouldn't mind re-teaching myself guitar and drums.

I've played the guitar for quite a few years now, though if you're just wanting to practice, plenty of apps are available on the app store that mimic a piano, most are free too, though if you're looking to get a cheap but decent once, yamaha is your best bet.

I want an actual physical Piano. So apps aren't going to cut it. I have Ableton and Garage band, so I have access to digital versions already

There are two places I'd recommend: First, Guitar Center
http://www.guitarcenter.com/

They got a bunch of used instruments in really good condition, and those who sell them give better detail and description than any other market platform like eBay or Amazon.

The second place would be Musicians Friend
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/

They're a bit pricey, but they give amazing quality instruments and depending on the offer, they might even hand over some video or book tutorials for how to play.

I use Musicians Friend a lot and their customer support if great. Once because of the gripping cold last year, the drums that I ordered froze and cracked during the delivery. I contacted them and they immediately answered and had a brand new set (along with 2 pairs of sticks free for compensation) within a week!

Alright, if you're wanting to stay on the cheaper side of things you can order a "Yamaha YPT255" which can be found on amazon, I owned a yamaha before, they're good as fuck.
