76-Key Electronic Keyboards!
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.

How Much to Pay for Yamaha 61 key keyboards?
If you check out the Yamaha 61 key keyboards, you will definitely find something that matches your budget. A Yamaha 61 key keyboard is a good keyboard to have but it is available at a premium compared to other brands. For years, they have maintained this premium which is primarily because of their quality and also because they have a fan following. If you are a beginner and wondering what is a good amount to play for your electronic keyboard then here are some guidelines.
With the assumption that you just need a keyboard for learning and are budget conscious then the few series that you could consider are the Yamaha EZ and the YPT series 61 key keyboards. You could also consider the entry models from the Yamaha PSR series. The most basic model would cost anywhere around 150-175 dollars, and if you were to go on Amazon and look for bundled packs then it may cost you 20-25 dollars more depending on what are the keyboard accessories that are bundled. In terms of features, you can expect to find several voices and styles and the usual keyboard features which are good enough to get you started. Besides, the 61 keys will let you learn a variety of songs that can be played with both the hands.
Though you may not get weighted keys at this price, these are good enough to learn harmony as well with your left hand. You do get keyboards around 100 dollars as well but then they are from other brands and the keys are not touch sensitive. Touch sensitive keys are recommended if you are serious about learning to play keyboards so it's better to pay more dollars and get a board that would serve the purpose.
If you have a budget exceeding 200 dollars then you can go in for the higher models in the series that were mentioned earlier. For around 300 dollars, you can get models that have nice sounding voices and good built-in speakers that will be a joy to play. If you have played before and intend to start after a long gap it may be worth spending those extra dollars so that you can really enjoy your instrument. If you have played before, you can pick up things much faster so a very basic model may not excite you much. So, with a budget of around 200 dollars, you can definitely find some good Yamaha 61 key keyboards.
