Choosing The Best Digital Piano Brand
Buying a digital piano is a great investment for a beginner, intermediate, or even the advanced pianist. Digital pianos are usually priced in the mid-range, so they are an affordable investment for any piano enthusiast. However, choosing which digital piano to purchase can be a highly daunting task, especially since there are so many options, features, and prices to think about.
I've been playing piano my entire life, and I can tell you I've played on a lot of pianos/keyboards! Name the brand, I've played it. One thing I can tell you, is that any digital piano will benefit you far more than a portable keyboard ever will. Keyboards are very cheap, which make them appealing, however for a serious piano player these are just not comparable. If you (or your children) are serious about learning piano, digital pianos are the way to go.
If you've already done a little shopping around for keyboards or digital pianos, you know by now that there are several different brands, each claiming to offer the best deal. In reality, there are actually only a very small handful of quality digital piano manufacturers.
So what are the best brands? Without a doubt, the best digital piano brands are Roland and Yamaha. These brands will beat out any other brand of digital piano, regardless of the model. If you decide to purchase either a Roland or Yamaha, you will know that you've spent your money well.
The only digital pianos I've ever owned myself have been either Yamahas or Rolands. This is because they are by far the best digital pianos you can buy. If you do decide to buy one of these two brands, you will instantly know that you have spent your money wisely, because no other brand can compare.
So what are the major differences between Yamaha and Rolands? Well, there aren't many, really. In my opinion, it is just too hard to decide between Roland and Yamaha. I own a Yamaha (click the link at the bottom of this article for a review of the piano I own) and I love it. Yamaha's are great because they're quality is equal to that of a Roland, but they are almost always lower in price. However, Rolands higher end models offer the best functionality and the most sounds, but this is usually irrelevant for the beginning player.
