Digital Pianos

Quick answer? Yes. We wouldn’t sell them if they weren’t.

Ok, so the intricate sound nuances and musical depth of an acoustic piano may not be quite as detailed with a digital instrument but balance that against everything you gain and we’re confident you won’t be disappointed.

We’re talking modern-day conveniences such as volume control, the option to plug in headphones, the capability to hook up to all your other Bluetooth devices, and even learn to play online with comprehensive apps. And that’s just for starters! You also get a more portable, compact musical instrument and – even better – a more pocket-friendly price.

No, a digital piano is not the same as a digital keyboard, but we do get asked this question frequently.

The distinction lies in the name…a digital piano is specifically designed to mimic the look, feel and sound of an acoustic piano. In comparison, except for the keys, a keyboard rarely replicates much of a piano’s form and is usually favoured for a wider range of sounds. If you’re looking for the crash of cymbals or a barking dog, then a keyboard could be just up your street. But if you’re seeking a true piano sound, combined with the practicality and convenience of modern technology, then it’s a digital piano that you need.

No! This is one of the most popular features, they don’t require tuning – ever!

With no strings, the need to tighten and retune regularly is completely removed. Taking with it the cost and inconvenience of arranging professional tuning, which for acoustic pianos is recommended at least every 6-9 months.

Switch up your room layout and transport digital pianos from A-B, all with no danger of upsetting delicate string balance and impeding sound quality.

Less maintenance, yet you can still be confident of the same great sound, every time you play.

Typically, you can expect a digital piano to cost less than an acoustic. However, how much you pay will depend on the make and model you choose and the range of features you’re looking for.

As a guide, the cost of a new digital piano usually starts from around £500, with prices ranging to in excess of £15,000. We don’t want anyone to miss out on the joy of owning a piano, which is why we’re  part of the ‘Take it Away’ scheme, offering interest free loans of between £100 and £5000.
