The intensity difference between piano and electric piano is much better than that of electronic piano, but I suggest direct piano is better.
Piano is relatively expensive. If you are not sure whether you can stick to it all the time, you can rent it first, 200 yuan a month, 300 yuan. If you want to buy it, it's more than 5 thousand used, and you can buy a new piano at least 1000 yuan.
As an older beginner, interest is a very important factor. It is important to choose Hanon as the basic skill, although it is monotonous. Other "Datang" and "Piano Basic Course" are quite interesting, and you can also download simple and familiar songs online to improve your enthusiasm.
