Knowing which electronic piano to buy can be really difficult for newbie’s; with so many different brands out there it’s hard to know which ones give you the most bang for your buck. This article is intended to help beginners, who are looking at electronic pianos, find few brands which may just be able to provide what you’re after.
Currently the biggest electronic piano manufacturer is Yamaha, they offer quality instruments at great prices and some of their models are specially designed for beginners. The most suitable models Yamaha offer for beginners are the P series and entry level ranges, but don’t go thinking just because they’re intended for beginners they aren’t quality instruments, all Yamaha’s digital pianos are sampled from a Yamaha grand concert piano. If you’re looking for a great Yamaha electronic piano then I would recommend the CLP range to any beginner if their budget allowed, failing this an YDP model would be quite acceptable as well.
If you’re after an instrument which produces a soft and full tone, then perhaps a Roland e-piano may be the right choice for you. Their HP and KR line of instruments are really playable, produce a great rich sound and their keyboards feel incredibly smooth under the fingers, definitely something to consider if you’re interested in a Roland electronic piano. I should also note that the sound of their entire digital range is actually sampled from a Steinway concert grand, if that doesn’t excite you then nothing will.
If you’re strapped for cash then maybe a Casio piano is the way to go, their Privia range has a real modest price tag that suits all budgets. Having said that, they do tend to feel a bit awkward and aren’t the most playable electronic pianos, if you can stretch your budget it may be better for you to take a look at their Celviano models.
That’s it guys, throughout this article I have mentioned a few really great electronic piano brands for you to consider, more experienced players may find some of the models I have mentioned in this article fairly limited, but any of these will be ideal for beginners starting out. Learning on an entry level instrument will give you a blank canvas to assess what kind of instrument will suit your playing style and prevents you from spending lots of money on an instrument which isn’t suitable for your purpose.
