A review on Digital Pianos

A piano is a musical instrument that is classified as a keyboard, percussion, or string instrument, depending on the system of categorization used.

Playing the piano is wide-spread in music for solo performance, chamber music, and accompaniment, and is also popular for composing music.

Materials used for pianos are strings, pin blocks, strings, plates and soundboard. Pianos also have pedals. They are of three types:
  • Damper pedal
  • Soft pedal
  • Sostenuto pedal
A digital piano is a modern electronic musical instrument designed to serve primarily as a substitute to a traditional piano, both in the way it feels to play as well as the sound produced. Digital pianos can also be designed to look like an acoustic piano. While digital pianos may short of the genuine article in feel and sound, they nevertheless have many advantages over normal pianos:
  • They are relatively inexpensive and are considerably lighter.

  • They usually manufacture several different piano timbres. 
  • They integrate MIDI implementation and have extra features to aid in learning and composition.

Digital piano manufacturers are getting better and better at duplicating the tone of real acoustic pianos. But no matter how well the piano sound is played, it will always sound digital. Some believe that the acoustic sound is far superior to that of a digital piano. Due to portability, being economical and MIDI capabilities piano and keyboard players often choose digital pianos over their acoustic counterparts. Also, they have the ability for you to record your performance.
