Also called \u201cElectric Keyboard\u201d or \u201cElectronic Keyboard\u201d, Digital Keyboard can be very useful and convenient. You can plug it to any device (computer, mobile phone, tablet,\u2026) and use it for musical production with softwares, piano learning with apps, \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also portable and the cheapest option. Depending on models, the features of Digital Keyboards can be very large: manage the sound volume, play with a range of instrument sounds such as organs, violins, drums, \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Digital Keyboards could give you a bad first musical experience because of two factors: the number of keys and the touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of keys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All acoustic pianos have 88 keys. That\u2019s the standard number of keys. So, if you have the space to put that type of keyboard at home, go for it! If you aren\u2019t, you should choose the maximum keys that you could. Indeed, you can quickly be restricted in your piano learning if you choose a Digital Keyboard with 25, 41 or 49 keys. You will not access the higher or lower keys if you want to work on your chords, scales or play your favorite songs on piano. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, we recommend to choose a Digital Keyboard with at least 76 keys (6 octaves). With fewer keys, you will soon be embarrassed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The touch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The touch of a Digital Keyboard is also very important for a good musical experience and practice. A lot of keyboards have difficulty reproducing the touch of an acoustic piano. If you will not find this type of touch with a cheap keyboard, try to choose some with good touch. What is a good touch on piano? It\u2019s a heavy touch that produces a quality sound, without sizzling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital Pianos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Digital pianos are a good choice for pianists who want to play in the best conditions. With a Digital Piano, you will recreate the playing experience of an acoustic piano while keeping the flexibility and convenience of a Digital Keyboard. Digital Pianos are generally solid instruments composed by quality materials. And the good new: like Digital Keyboards, they not require any tuning (that\u2019s the main problem of an acoustic piano).

The features are the same as those of a Digital Keyboard: manage the sound volume, play with other instrument sounds (guitar, violin, flute, \u2026). However, Digital Pianos solve both problems saw above: the number of keys and the touch of the keyboards. Indeed, they have for the most part of them 88 keys, and the touch is closer to that of an acoustic piano. In short, it is the perfect intermediary between Digital Keyboards and acoustic pianos. And this is also reflected in the price: they are more expensive than keyboards but much cheaper than acoustic pianos.

Like Keyboards, Digital Pianos almost always have MIDI connection. With this feature, you can plug your piano to any device (mobile phone, tablet, computer, \u2026) and use it with apps or softwares.
