Why Digital Pianos?

Digital pianos are sophisticated electronic musical instruments designed as an alternative to traditional pianos. They are usually designed to look like acoustic pianos, they reproduce sounds recorded from acoustic pianos and they implement special technologies to copy the action and feel of playing a classic piano. Moreover, being digital they have a long list of advantages over their acoustic predecessors.

  • Size factor.

    Digital pianos are far lighter and usually much less bulky then acoustic pianos.
    Therefore they can be transported and moved much more freely and at much lower cost.

  • Price factor.

    A digital piano can be purchased at a fraction of the cost of a regular acoustic piano.

  • No maintenance needed.

    Digital pianos never go out of tune so never need tuning.
    This saves you a small fortune as the regular acoustic piano needs tuning at least once or twice a year.

  • Variety of sounds.

    Digital piano not only can reproduce a piano sound.
    You can also use sounds of other instruments like guitars, organs, percussion, trumpet and so on.

  • Headphone sockets.

    One of the most valued features of digital pianos is possibility of quiet practicing.
    Each digital piano has at least one and sometimes two headphones socket so you can play without disturbing anyone.

  • MIDI implementation.

    Digital pianos almost always have midi connections enabling for connection with any other MIDI compatible musical equipment.

  • Accompaniment functions.

    Digital pianos are far lighter and usually much less bulky then acoustic pianos.
    Therefore they can be transported and moved much more freely and at much lower cost.

  • Recording.

    With digital piano, recording is a doodle. Most digital pianos have internal memory and can record what you play. You also don’t need to use expensive microphones and amplifiers to record to any other device, as audio outputs are available.
    You can connect a digital piano directly to any recorder (like your PC or Minidisc). This dramatically simplifies the recording process and eliminates any noise or feedback usually present with recording using a microphone.

  • Transpose.

    If you play with a band or a singer
    who is more comfortable in another key than you are used to play,
    you can transpose the piano to any key you want.
