Does anyone have a digital piano they’d recommend?
I’ve been missing playing since I moved to my current place, and would like to get back into it. I’d rather spend a few extra bucks now and get a nice one that will last.
It depends what your budget is, and even then I’d really really suggest to go to a real world music store and try out a couple of pianos in the price range you’re thinking of.
Personally I love both the sound and keyboard action of Kawai digital pianos, and anything in their CN (entry-level) or CA (mid-level) range will be a great purchase that will last you for many years. But if you try out a few pianos you might find you actually get on far better with, say, Yamaha or Roland. It’s a very subjective thing.
I love my Yamaha P140. It’s got a very nice sound and feel.
Doesn’t look like that one is made anymore. Maybe someone on craigslist though…
I’ve been playing for 42 years now and I just purchased (for the second time) a Kawai ES-110. I’m sort of in awe about how good it is for he price. Feels awesome to play. My primary instrument is a Yamaha NU1X hybrid.
That’s been replaced with the ES120 on the current market fwiw. I hear that as a lightly improved version of the ES110 (I think mostly they added a little more padding around the keys) it is just better (as a piano) than everything else in it’s price range (though the Yamaha p225 is releasing later this year so it’s possible there will be competition again.)
