Digital piano is an electronic device that is designed to sound like an acoustic piano with more functions. It has no strings and no soundboard, some have springs instead of hammers. Instead, it has electronic circuits and speakers. Also the digital piano for sale are accounted for most of the piano market. However, let’s talk about the advantages between Digital piano and Real piano.

  • Sound


You can't doubt the quality of the real piano they used for voice sampling, they will probably cost more that 50,000 dollar on it, but the technology of sampling is limited for the time being, it can only show 3-4 kinds of voices of different weight. On the other side, the real piano has endless possibilities, it’s alive. However, the voice will be changed in different conditions, even they are the same brand and same type. If you take good care of your real piano, the sound will last longer and more beautiful than it was expected , if you don't, it will be 'sick', how the piano shows is depending on how you treat it. That’s the reason why real piano is so charming. But it hard for us to take good care of piano cause we are all busy with other things. Digital piano will never bring you trouble like this, it won't be influenced by environment. So you need to decide which kind of pianos you want. 

  • Touch


Digital piano is not comparable with the real piano, the gap is depending on construction. Why there is a gap? It mainly depends on manufacturer’s cost, they can make the better feeling among piano keys without constraint. Piano, the reason of good feeling is because of its powerful keyboard mechanical system in which the clavichord machine with thousands of parts, precise and efficient, even GH3 keyboard also can not compare with the real piano , feeling the touch piano keyboard is not according to the two times you press, is to feel the keyboard response while you are pressing, and manipulation of tone, a relatively high degree of difficult music can test keyboard is good or bad, light or weight. As long as the machinery is responsive, and can control their own ideas sound, and that is a good feeling.

  • Tuning


Since the timber (mainly timber), design, technology and other aspects of the gap, as the electronic distribution of digital piano, service and quality issues are also major problems. Quality issues mainly showed up with anti-abrasion and the keyboard loose problem, especially after practicing a long time or intensive practicing every day. In the case of piano’s longevity, especially good piano, with 70~ 80 years, or even centuries, there is no problem, this is largely depending on superior timber, sophisticated technology and the piano industry already established various service (various tuning maintenance services) [of course, the problem is tuning a piano cost will be more expensive than digital piano in the late period as digital piano no need any tune at all, but at least 1-2 times per year for real piano]
