What Is A Digital Piano?
If space and cost were not a constraint almost everybody would have loved to own an acoustic grand piano. The grand piano is a majestic instrument and not only does it looks good it sounds great as well. But unfortunately not everybody can afford one as everybody has a limited budget and space. Besides everybody needs the features associated with a digital instrument. This is what makes the Digital Piano so popular among a lot of people.
A digital piano was developed as an alternative to the acoustic piano but the sound producing mechanism in a digital piano is totally different. Digital pianos use high quality samples to produce piano sounds. The better the samples the more expensive the digital piano becomes.
Another important factor is the keyboard touch & feel. A Digital piano needs to have keys which feel almost like real keys of an acoustic piano. The better digital pianos come with graded hammer action which simply means that the keys are heavier on the bass side and get gradually lighter as you move to the right of the keyboard. This is how the keys feel on an acoustic piano.
A few other digital pianos have the look of a digital keyboard and they are designed to be portable. They are lightweight and can be easily moved around. They are used by gigging musicians and are referred to as stage pianos.
All the Digital pianos have a slot to connect a headphone so that you can practice without disturbing others. Also, there are no maintenance & tuning activities needed for a digital piano.
