Digital Pianos

With an electric piano, you can play all your favorite piano tunes on an instrument that takes up a fraction of the space of a traditional piano. It can even be stored in a closet or corner. Plus, you can enjoy additional features that will help learn and record music with ease.

Keyboards with digital effects are designed to create a wide range of sounds, both instrumental and non-instrumental. The diversity of possible sounds and sound effects makes digital pianos very useful in a recording studio or setup. If you sing or play other instruments, you might find a keyboard with auto-accompaniment a priceless new tool for your music-making collection.

If you want your new keyboard to mimic the feel and sound of a real piano, look for a keyboard with weighted keys. Weighted keys on a keyboard will play louder or softer depending on how forcefully you press them, just like a piano.

Figuring out the location for your new digital piano is a good step to take before buying one. You can measure the space and ensure you buy the right-sized keyboard. Electric keyboards offer various key options. Some are shorter, like the 61-key electric keyboard, and some standard: the 88-key keyboard.

For recording setups and studios, consider available cords and cables to see how you will need to connect your keyboard to your recording equipment. For vocals, you will also want to choose the right mic and mic placement.

You may benefit from a piano or keyboard with a headphone jack. Noise-cancelling headphones can help you focus on your music when you’re in a busy or loud environment and practice without bothering others. If recording, they will also give a clear sense of the track you are creating. Keep in mind that some important keyboard accessories, like piano benches or stools, are often sold separately.
