Because I don't Sell pianos, people put their trust in me for good advice.
Your Piano Advisory is now in its 8th year online... and an ever increasing number of piano buyers want to know which are "the Best" digital pianos.To navigate: Allow Blocked Content ... Piano Advisory site best viewed at smaller text sizes.
This page was created to put you in the picture and OzPianoman hopes it will provide a basis for you to choose wisely.
My knowledge of digital piano technology is somewhat limited, because whilst I do own one - I'm not exactly an enthusiast.
Many Digital Piano sales are made to those considerate souls, concerned about the comfort of others ... and who envisage playing through headphones, simply to avoid disturbing their neighbors.
For others pressed for room, digital pianos may solve the problem of lack of floor space.
On the down side however, they'll hardly match a real piano for pure "piano sound", regardless of how cleverly they play, or how much you spend.
Whilst we don't sell Pianos, or Keyboards - or Digitals... the Piano Advisory gets its share of enquiries regarding digital piano brands, often from people convinced that they're the 'ideal alternative' to a real piano. I'm a stickler for tradition and personally, I don't agree.
We own the typical 88 key digital piano - a Kawai CA550 bought 7 years ago (works fine!) and which exists primarily to
1/. Show people what digital pianos do...
2/. Create basic songs to print for some piano students...
and 3/. Make the occasional midi file for our web site.
It still plays perfectly and that contributes to my high regard for Kawai as a great maker of reliable instruments.
To be fair, I must say that in my seven years online, nobody has ever complained about digital pianos performing badly or breaking down ... suggests that most brands will function for years without requiring very much servicing.
So no disgruntled owners - and we're suitably impressed with ours also.
Not even a crackle from it when we crank up the volume. You'll know what I mean - like those slider and volume controls on most older hi fi equipment ... notorious for hisses and buzzes and popping sounds when adjusted (a good time to call in an electronics technician)
My stock in trade however is Real pianos!
I Play Piano ...
Occasionally we 'use the digital' ... for the purposes mentioned and that's about all.
The point here, is that Musicianship requires a player to get involved, to do the work, to become immersed in the pursuit of excellence, to have a fondness for the instrument upon which they are taught. (Ask any Piano Teacher)
Forgive me, but I see ownership of a digital piano akin to a tour de france cyclist prefering a moped, because it'll do the same job without requiring as much effort!
Truth is, for the most part, ours is left switched off - because to a dedicated piano player, a digital piano is about as lovable as is a computer to a clerk working full time in an office.
Electronic devices which process information can make the job easier - but unlike acoustic guitars, pianos and other cherished instruments, they're not exactly something with which you can have a Love Affair.
And that's why your Piano man has little interest in attending trade shows, music expos and piano shop special previews, to see the latest from Yamaha, Kawai, Roland or whomever...
Buy one, by all means ... but in my opinion, you should get yourself a Real piano FIRST.
Add a Digital Piano when you want something to assist in your development; Another instrument to add to your collection!
If you still sense a need to contact ol' Pianoman for his views, you are more than welcome ... but this page may help you locate suppliers who specialize in such instruments, presenting a range of products, from affordable to elaborate - and from which you can choose the best deals.
