The Pros and Cons for Purchasing a Piano, Digital Piano or Electronic Keyboard

What style are you learning? In general, a piano is the most versatile option; there are no limits on what you can play on it, be it pop, classical or jazz.

A digital piano can be a good second choice; usually they present an excellent electronic replica of the piano's sound.

However, many pianists prefer the feel of an acoustic piano.

Do you plan on recording? Consider a keyboard or MIDI controller with an USB port, which can be directly connected to your computer.

Consider the keys Acoustic pianos are clearly the best in this field; the full-sized, weighted keys of a grand piano (even a quarter grand) are second to none. If you can't afford or don't want a grand piano, consider an upright acoustic piano.

Many digital pianos now emulate the keys in order to give you a very realistic experience. Look for digital pianos with "graded hammer-actions", which give you a similar touch to a grand piano. Keyboards are often the worst; some have small keys which have a plastic feel and aren't weighted at all. Consider that moving to a piano with weighted keys after a portable keyboard might prove to be a challenge.

Budget A good acoustic piano, whether new or used, is expensive and has to be tuned once or twice a year. Portable keyboards and digital pianos are less expensive; even more so if you choose one with a 76-key range (normal pianos have 88 keys).

Keyboard range A piano has 88 keys. Digital pianos and keyboards can have smaller ranges; however, choose one with no less than 76 keys! Most piano music can be played on a 76-key range, but if you go lower than that you may be limited to certain repertoire. Some baroque repertoire can also be played on a 61-key range keyboard; however, the best options are by far a 76 or 88-key range keyboard or digital piano.

Living arrangements Can you fit a grand piano into your house? If you can't, consider an upright acoustic or a digital piano. If your neighbors can't tolerate the sound of the piano, consider an option with headphones; a silent piano is a good choice!

There is no perfect solution for everyone, but when you are comparing between digital and acoustic piano then consider several point to pick-up these two pianos. Your tutors will also assist you in purchasing a piano, due to he knows everything regarding piano. First, check the piano quality and style is perfect because you search. Secondly, its durability, sometimes low- quality material damage after a couple of week. Therefore, these points kept in mind while you're shopping.
