Today we’ll talk about the top 10 mistakes people make when purchasing a digital piano, focusing on the most important aspects that will help you select your perfect piano.

Things to Consider
1.Key Touch
One of the most important factors of any digital piano is the touch and feel of the keys and the mechanism behind them. Try different models to find the one that is most comfortable for you. Weighted keys can simulate the feel of an acoustic piano, and are essential for any formal instruction. Chose one that feels perfect for you.

2. Tone Quality and Dynamics
Digital pianos from the major manufacturers, Yamaha, Roland, Kawai, Casio and Korg, all sound realistic when quickly played. Today’s standards are so much higher than before, with a good variety of tonal colour and dynamics. A good digital piano should have a variety of tonal colour from the high range to low range, as well as a wide dynamic range to match.

3. Speaker Quality
Speaker quality and performance vary widely, even within the same price point, so consider the overall volume and power you will need and how refined of a sound you are looking for. Don’t forget to compare the speaker sound to the sound you hear through the headphones. You don’t want to end up with fewer lowquality speakers when you could have had more highend ones.

4. Other Features
Many modern digital pianos have a list of specifications that seems endless, and this can be overwhelming as you try to balance many factors. Most people will use their digital pianos as pianos, so carefully consider how often you will need to call upon any of the many extra features. If 90% of your time will be spent playing the piano, then 90% of your focus should be on the touch and tone of that part of the instrument.

5. Size and Weight
Consider your space and portability needs as well as how often you will need to move your instrument when researching digital pianos. Make sure the piano will fit where you need it, and won’t be too heavy to move when needed. Also, be sure that the piano and stand will be able to handle the intensity of your playing.

6. Budget
With a range of a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, there is a wide price range of digital pianos available. Be sure to understand what products and features are available before determining a budget to avoid the frustration of finding out that the piano you want doesn’t exist at that price range, or settling for an instrument within your budget that you won’t be happy with.

7. Buying Strictly on Brand
As the marketplace continually changes, using historical notions of brand quality, or previous purchasing experiences can drastically limit your options. Research current commentary on the latest models, and visit showrooms that provide as many sidebyside comparisons as possible.

8. Connectivity Options
Many digital pianos provide multiple connectivity options; such as Bluetooth, MIDI and USB. It’s important to consider whether you will need to connect your digital piano to a computer or other devices. Make sure you have a good understanding of either how involved or how easy each type of connection is to make, whether you will need other adaptors, and whether the connectivity provided will give you the quality of sound or data that you require. These options are hardwired and generally can’t be upgraded.

9. Ignoring Maintenance
While digital pianos don’t require regular maintenance like tuning, there are ways to protect and extend the life of your instrument. Quality surge protectors, clean power supplies, and even humidity and low dust environments will help to preserve your instrument.

10. Warranty
It’s important to protect your investment with a warranty so carefully read the warranty for your piano, and consider adding an extended warranty for peace of mind where it’s an option.
