Digital Piano Vs Acoustic piano

Description

Looking for a digital piano, or considering a real acoustic piano?

Digital piano or acoustic piano ? which is best?

The benefits of a digital piano is that they fit readily in to our modern lifestyle. Volume controls and headphone options is perhaps one of the more obvious reasons why people consider choosing a digital piano versus a real acoustic piano. Yet,  affordability, low maintenance and most are now 88 note with weighted keys and are of a more compact design are also deciding factors.

Portable lightweight digital pianos are often chosen for beginners for those very reasons. With a realistic piano sound and with the all important 88 note, weighted keys, it is easy to see why the portable digital pianos such as the KAWAI ES120 are popular

88 notes – weighted keys , why is this important?  In trying to replicate a real acoustic piano,  it is important to choose a piano which has the full 88 notes

Weighted keys are there to give you the “feel” of a real piano, they give resistance when the notes are pressed, helping to build finger strength and control, vital for beginners .

Further up the range of digital pianos such as the KAWAI CN  series, the choice offers a better and more realistic piano sound and touch.

For the ultimate premium digital piano , higher quality of sound and feel can be found in the  in the Kawai CA ( concert artist series).  In particular, it offers many features but the most important here is the sound and touch. A more richer experience allowing for better musical expression and appreciation.

The Kawai CA701 features KAWAI’s Grand Feel III wooden-key action,  delivering an exceptionally realistic playing experience. The length of each key—from the front edge to the balance pin—is longer than that of any other digital piano keyboard. All 88 black and white keys are crafted from long, solid wooden parts and, just like a grand piano, each key pivots smoothly on a central balance pin.

Digital versus acoustic ? really the choice is down to you and your lifestyle.

Digital pianos manufacturers and musicians alike refer to “realistic sound”  or ” realistic feel” so one can expect that there are differences between digital pianos and real pianos.  If you are looking for the real thing rather than realistic, choose a real acoustic  piano but that that said – digital pianos are an excellent alternative.
