Should I Buy a Digital Piano? The short answer: Yes! Now to find out why this technician who makes his living off of servicing acoustic pianos would recommend buying a digital piano keep reading. The most commonly cited reason against purchasing a digital piano is that they are not REAL pianos. If we all had unlimited resources and space we would all play on 9ft concert grands prepared by professionals in recital halls worth a quarter of a million dollars. Now THAT is a REAL piano. Everything else is a compromise on that standard for reasons of space and or money. The actions in upright pianos are different than grand pianos, generally less expressive with slower repetition. Spinet pianos are worse yet with shorter keysticks and a “drop” action. When comparing a high end digital piano with a spinet the digital more closely simulates the previously mentioned concert grand. If space is the biggest concern that is one reason people mistakenly consider spinet pianos. While it’s true that spinets are shorter than other vertical pianos their footprint (width x depth) is actually larger taking up more space not less. Digital pianos are considerably smaller. Now hold up! Surely you cant be saying digital pianos are superior to acoustic pianos!? No. Digital pianos will never replace acoustic pianos. Nothing compares to the live vibration of steel and wood you experience from an acoustic instrument. If you have the space and a budget of let’s say $5,000 or more no digital piano will come close for the musical quality of the acoustics you will find in those price ranges. But the cold truth is there is no such thing as a good acoustic piano new for $2,000. And when considering used pianos at or below that price you are often looking at pianos that were built to try and fill the market need currently filled by digital pianos. Pianos of such poor design, quality, and materials they quite frankly should never have been built in the first place, were poor musical instruments when new, and the subsequent decades of age and neglect have not done them any favors. But there are FREE acoustic pianos all over the internet! Need Piano Tuning Service?
