What's the best digital piano?

Whats a good keyboard/digital piano to learn on?

• Answer:

  Great. Here's the lowdown. Any digital/electronic piano keyboard will do that are made for the consumer (beginner) that has an at least a 61-key range. These will provide all the most anyone can get use from for all music to be played over the following years to come. And, at the price you are willing to pay. Also, more amplification power output (5 watts RMS stereo is good), the more expense as well. No need to even consider the player decks that have to have additional amp or speaker monitor systems, to provide all the features that they we made to do as well. Those can get expensive to make a system that works well for such particular needs. Having to go for those with the weighted keys (simulated for the physical mechanics of a real piano) can be more costly, but preferred by those already familiar with the feel of a true 'acoustic' piano. There are 'touch sensitive' features on many digital keyboards that provide the idea for this particular playing expression and it would be good to have it to discover such an effect. Here's a list of brands to go try out for yourself at many music stores or piano and organ outlets that will carry them: Casio; Korg ($$); Rhodes; Roland ($$); Williams; and Yamaha. Suggest: Williams (at any price), as their product line is exclusive for piano players in mind, but don't offer all the tone banks, samplings or many effects as the other makers. Great for starters and professionals alike. All of those are based upon their availability and product use I have done over the decades as a player. There may be, as you may discover shopping around, brands of other piano manufacturers that have true piano labels to offer as their product line as well. But these are rare instruments, and would cost more (but do just the same as any of those already mentioned) than the other makers for that marketing fact.
