Digital Piano Options - Buyer Beware

Read Now
 

Many parents like the size, convenience, and portability of digital pianos.

Updated: March 2022:  


​These additional models from Amazon may be more available and convenient for you:

Buyer beware!  Some companies use marketing ploys that sound great to the average consumer, but can create a long list of problems for the young piano student.

We have recommendations that are affordable, and easy. All under $1,000- pre-tax. 

I have curated the best instruments, at the lowest possible price, to recommend to parents.  Here's the basics on what we are looking for:

1.  88 keys (gotta have this)
2.  graded hammer action (be careful - this is where some companies are selling something that SOUNDS like it would work, but often the quality is shoddy.
3. decent sound
4.  a setup that is sturdy, won't fall over, and promotes good posture and hand position.
5.  a three pedal kit (gotta have this - don't get anything less)

As of this writing (7/30/21) digital pianos are in high demand, and families will have to pre-order and may have to wait months.  Perhaps a better alternative could be an acoustic?  See this post for details:  piano-opportunities-rentals-from-houston-piano-co.html

Top Three Digital Pianos - with Furniture stand and pedal kit, and benches

My studio requires these things of digital piano owners:  Use one of these brands (or have something you own approved by me), have a furniture stand,  a three pedal kit, and a sturdy bench.
