Digital Pianos

Digital Pianos are a great alternative to acoustic Pianos for many reasons. Many are extremely portable, they’re more affordable, and offer fully-loaded integrated sound banks. They also require less maintenance as they don’t need to be tuned. Advancements in technology have helped manufacturers not only make digital Pianos sound like real acoustic Pianos, but also feel like them as well (known as hammer-action keys). There are so many practical applications for a digital piano in place of an acoustic piano, but it’s important to note that a digital piano is not meant to entirely replace acoustic instruments. There are just many settings where the digital instrument holds many benefits over the acoustic counterpart. In a school, the portability of a digital piano that needs constant moving from room to room may be the reason to strongly consider a digital piano. For gigging musicians, it’s difficult to rely on a serviceable acoustic piano when you’re moving from club to club, where a digital instrument will sounds the same every single night. In the home, a digital piano will move through the seasons without requiring any sort of tuning unlike an acoustic piano. It’s also not uncommon today to see a touring rock or pop band take an acoustic piano cabinet (upright or a grand) and place the digital piano in place of the keys/strings within that acoustic shell. This way the audience has the visual look of the acoustic instrument with the security and flexibility of the digital ‘brain’ inside that shell.
