If you are seriously considering learning to play the electronic keyboards, then a standard 61 keys or a 5-octave keyboard is a must. But after a few months or may be in a year, depending on how soon you pick up things, you will realize that 61 keys are not enough, especially if you are playing a lot of classical based songs.

There are a lot of famous classical pieces that you cannot play on a keyboard with 61 keys. In that case, the next best option is to go in for a keyboard with 76 keys. An electronic keyboard with 76 keys should help you play most of the classical songs. A 76-key keyboard is also known as a 6 and a half octave keyboard.

Ideally a complete piano length i.e. 88 keys would be an ideal keyboard for playing all the classical songs, but then if you are also looking for some portability, a 76-key keyboard will be helpful. It will still be much easier to carry around than an 88-key keyboard.

A 76-key keyboard is not usually the first keyboard owned by somebody who is starting out. A keyboard of this size is bought only once you have learnt to play keyboards for some time.

Another benefit of owning a 76-key keyboard would be the hundreds of musical styles that come built-in those keyboards. You should be able to play a lot of songs with a variety of musical styles, ranging from classical to contemporary.

The Casio WK series, Yamaha’s DGX / YPG Series, and Roland’s E and EXR series are the most popular 76-key keyboards.
