Lochie Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Any advice on which digital piano to get? I grew up with a 'normal' piano and would love my children to learn but we don't really have enough downstairs space for a traditional piano. So was going to get a digital one. Any recommendations would be appreciated (and sources of second hand ones?)Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DulwichPianoFestival Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The local music shop by East Dulwich station always have a few digital pianos in stock. The Casio CDP-120 is a very good price (about ?299) and doesn't take up much space. If you have a bigger budget, try the Celviano AP-450 (around ?800).http://www.slmusic.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunheadmum Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 The added benefit of digital is being able to turn it down or use headphones. As a child I hated everyone hearing me practice. Now learning as an adult with a digital piano (Yamaha Arius) and digital headphones and it means I can happily play in the evenings once the kids are in bed. My eldest daughter likes it too as she gets a little more independent and self-conscious. A good investment - good luck with the choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochie Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 @nunheadmum - thank you! I'm excited but a bit nervous about buying a digital piano, I'm a bit of a purist!! But have heard lots of good stuff about them. Hoping I can actually find the time to practice every day myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickysydenham Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hi, I've just purchased ( arriving tomorrow) the yamaha DGX-660 for the same reasons as you re space. It's ?600 and is a great hammer action electric piano as well as having loads of bells and whistles to p7lay with..... 5 track recorder, sound effect, rhythms, instrument voices. Looking forward to my son learning piano basics but having a lot of creative fun too..... And I'm going to try and brush up my skills too. I ordered through epianos.co.uk - their website has a lot of review and comparison videos. Plus visited Musicland in Downham to physically try out a few. Good luck!Nicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrthomas_uk Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I very recently bought a Yamaha P-45, which is their entry level 88-key digital piano. Lovely graded hammer action and all the benefits digital pianos offer as mentioned by other posters. As I wasn't sure how much the children would take to it, I didn't want to spend a fortune but I've been delighted with it.Welcome to pop round and have a play on it to see what you think!
