It's a Yamaha E-313, i think it's good. It's velocity and touch sensitive and has many songs and different lessons: timing, waiting for the right note to be pressed, listen and learn, etc. I think I evolved pretty quickly with it. The keys don't have the hardness of piano keys, though.

It's in my opinion good 2 hand practice and not too beginner unfriendly (you have to be able to reach ninths though).

Moonlight Sonata seems doable... I think I'll try it after I get better at the song I'm currently training at.
