A digital piano recreates the touch and sound of an acoustic piano without tuning or neighbours complaining, thanks to headphones. We stock 41 digital pianos from 3 brands, including .
The action
Graded hammer action makes keys heavier in the bass and lighter in the treble, like an acoustic piano. Better actions add escapement, triple sensors and wooden or wood-feel keys. For learners, a good action builds the right technique from the start.
The sound
Look for at least 64-note polyphony, preferably more, so pedal passages do not lose notes. Features such as string and damper resonance make the sound richer. The built-in speakers matter too: larger speakers give a fuller bass.
Home or portable
Cabinet models look like furniture and include three pedals. Slab-style digital pianos are lighter and fit on a stand, which suits smaller rooms or players who sometimes take the piano elsewhere.
