DIGiTAL PIANOS

Stuart has a range of digital pianos in the Newtown showrooms for you to try out.

Digital pianos can take many forms and fulfil many functions, however they can never emulate successfully a real acoustic instrument.

Here are some things to consider before you decide to purchase.

For further advice contact Stuart or visit the showroom.

ADVANTAGES OF DIGITALS

Most allow silent practise through headphones

Most are smaller and lighter than a piano making them more portable

Most include other keyboard sounds, eg harpsichord

Many include other instrument sounds, eg strings

Some have built in rhythm patterns to help timekeeping

Some have midi interfaces to allow connection to computers etc for recording purposes

Never need tuning

DISADVANTAGES OF DIGITALS

Cannot duplicate the tone and touch of an acoustic piano

An acoustic piano will hold its value and can last over 100 years whilst a digital will probably be obsolete after 5

It is impossible to practise technique and dynamic performance on anything but the real thing

Many teachers will not teach even beginners with a digital piano and an acoustic is essential for practise at the higher levels
