“Make sure you get a digital piano with weighted keys.”
“Make sure it can do different dynamics.”
“Digital pianos don’t sound or feel like real pianos.”
If someone is saying these phrases when recommending digital pianos, then chances are high they haven’t shopped for or educated themselves on digital pianos in over a decade. The truth is that just like cars, computers and smartphones, music related technology has advanced rapidly and exponentially over the last 20 years.
Today, digital pianos are closer than ever to emulating the experience of playing a concert grand in your home. Not only are they more comparable to acoustic pianos, but at some prices, they may even be the best option. Don’t settle for an inferior playing experience based on outdated information— a quality digital piano can be more of a “real” piano than an entry-level used acoustic. (And cost a lot less in maintenance and repairs!)
Why Did We Choose Kawai Digital Pianos?
As the premiere piano gallery of the inland northwest, we have the privilege of playing some of the world’s finest pianos daily. This benefit, however, has made our standards for realism in digital instruments extremely high.
A digital piano shouldn’t just offer a good-enough playing experience, but it should bring the player as close as possible to the feel and experience of playing a concert grand piano.
_________________
IMPOSSIBLE GOAL?
Perhaps, but digital piano manufacturers lessen that gap every year. After playing every digital piano brand (seriously— we’ve played all of them), our gallery is more convinced than ever that KAWAI builds the best digital pianos at the best price!
Digital piano technology allows for a lot of add-on features, from external apps and devices to wireless capabilities and built-in lessons. That said, we believe a digital piano’s primary purpose should be to emulate the touch and tone of a well built, perfectly tuned acoustic piano.
TOUCH & FEEL
KAWAI is best-in-class across all price ranges for their incredibly realistic action— their RH3 action (featured in affordable models) is an action worthy of other brands’ best playing experience. And KAWAI features 3 actions above that level!
TONE
KAWAI samples their best concert grand and combines that with cutting edge modeling technology to transcend the limitations of yesterday’s digital pianos.
FOCUS
Since KAWAI only focuses on piano-related instruments, they have an advantage in accurately reproducing the acoustic experience in their digital pianos without the distractions of other electronics or non-piano related products.
