The problem of choosing a good musical instrument has always been acute. Even despite the huge assortment in music stores, it can be difficult to buy a high-quality synthesizer.
Today in music stores you can find a large number of different synthesizers that differ from each other in price, quality, prestige of the company, as well as technical characteristics. That is why it is now very easy to choose a synthesizer corresponding to a musician in terms of level and number of functions.
Buying a synthesizer for a beginner
If you are just starting to make music and decided to look for a synthesizer for yourself, pay attention to simple synthesizers with a small number of octaves (4-5 maximum) at a low price. For example, you can buy compact synthesizers from CASIO with a small list of effects, the ability to record and play samples for 5-7 thousand rubles. If you are offered cheap synthesizers from companies such as Yamaha, Roland or Korg, chances are you are faced with an unscrupulous seller who wants to cheat you.
If you want to find a very cheap synthesizer, you can look at the Supra synthesizers, although this firm has not received much recognition among musicians due to its unreliability and prohibitive cheapness.
Synthesizers for people who already know how to play
If you are not yet a professional musician, but you can already tell a major from a minor, you will need to choose a semi-professional instrument. Typically, the cost of such synthesizers will range from 12 to 20 thousand rubles. Some models from CASIO, Yamaha and Korg can be purchased from this category of instruments. In principle, they will differ from the first type of instruments only in the quality that will be better, as well as in the number of octaves.
Professional tools
Experienced musicians who want to buy a high-quality and full-featured instrument will have to shell out a large sum of money for synthesizers and electronic pianos from Korg, Roland, Yamaha, Arturia, Clavia, or Access. These companies will be able to offer you both a small octave and a full size instrument. Of course, the cost of such synthesizers will be very high - from 70 to 300 thousand rubles. But if you decide to make music professionally, then it is worth giving such an amount.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that you need to choose a synthesizer first of all, based on your musical skills and abilities. If you buy yourself a professional tool right away, being a beginner, you will be dealing with it for a very long time. Also, a professional musician will simply miss those 4-5 octaves in order to play complex compositions.
