Thanks for all the input. Correction on the speaker type - it's an Ion Tailgater, not a Penvey. Think it's this one : https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ion-audio-tailgater-portable-bluetooth-speaker-black/5059400.p?skuId=5059400 I found this keyboard near me in LA https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/msg/d/santa-fe-springs-yamaha-mx88-keyboard/7774893658.html I think that would be a good option ? I'd like one with 88 weighted keys. Could also go the built in speaker route, which this doesn't have evidently. Regarding a mixer and an audio interface, are there examples anyone could recommend? I'm in my 30s but doing this digitally is all very new to me. Been in the stone age with just my piano and mic the last 20 years

Hi, I'm a long time pianist and singer and want to start making videos for social media on platforms like twitch, tiktok etc, doing cover songs and am thinking I'll buy a keyboard as it will be more visual given that it's less obtusive. However as I'm shopping, I'm wondering if I should buy a keyboard with built-in speakers and that would be sufficient? Or should I buy one without them and rely on hooking it up to a speaker? I could do either I guess as I already have a small Penvey speaker for my microphone (although I'm not sure if I can hook up both my microphone and keyboard to the same speaker?) but buying a keyboard with built-in speakers would just be one less thing to hassle with. Any strong opinions either way?
