I don't think I'll buy an acoustic piano for home, maybe further down the road when I finish my degree and my financial status(and my piano skills, hopefully) improves.

If I'll ever want to play an acoustic piano, I'll just get a subscription in a local conservatory and play there, I even have one right next to my place with excellent pianos in several rooms, with a subscription I can play there as much as I want, and it includes a piano lesson once a week.

Uhmm... I'm having the same thoughts in these days.. Do you think practicing on a completely non-weighted keyboard for some months would represent a serious problem?

Yes, I think so, mainly because it would be a waste of time. The skills you gain from playing on a non-weighted keyboard do not translate well to a real piano.

You're right, but I'm not gonna replace a real piano with a keyboard. The point is: assume I could get myself a real piano and private lessons in january. If I play my non-weighted key (that I already own) in the meanwhile, would it represent a permanent damage to my hands (no matter if it's wasted time, it would be just amusement). I say this because I just can't afford a good piano right now and I have to wait a bit Big smile

No, it won't damage your hands and I don't think it would negatively impact your ability to learn on a real piano. Go ahead and play around on what you have until you can get the real thing.
