When buying an instrument, most people, whether they are professional musicians or they are just starting, face quite a difficult challenge. And this is understandable, as the love relationship between a musician and their instrument is a long and important one. And regardless of which instrument you have chosen for yourself, choices are always vast. But when it comes to buying a piano, there is one dilemma you will have to resolve from the start, and that is, whether you want to go for the classic feel, and get an acoustic piano, or go for the more contemporary option – a digital piano.

Digital pianos in the past were quite simple and had virtually nothing on their acoustic counterparts. However, today you can buy instruments by Korg Australia wide made with technology that leaves even the biggest sceptics and the most avid acoustic piano enthusiasts stunned. Such high-quality digital pianos offer the playing experience of a real piano. They come with a touch technology, which allows your playing dynamics to be accurately reflected, they simulate the acoustic piano touch and response, they feature pedals, and so on.

What Is Similar? 

Without a doubt, there is something magical about having an acoustic piano at home. It looks beautiful, it feels romantic, important, timeless. However, the digital pianos offered nowadays by good companies such as Korg, come with benefits, including a lot of the ones offered by acoustic pianos. 

Accurate Piano Sound

Most people are on the fence about buying a digital piano because it seems impossible to them to get the authentic sound of an acoustic piano with technology. However, even though they don’t come with wires and hummers, good quality digital pianos have come a very long way in recent years. While there are differences in the sound quality from one model to another and from one brand to another – which will likely be expressed in their prices – with the amazing advancement in audio technology, a digital piano is now capable of reproducing a very clear and realistic sound, comparable to that of the best pianos in the world. You can buy Korg pianos, such as the C1 Air or the G1 Air, for example, which can recreate the damper resonance for even more realism. 

Accurate Keys

Sound isn’t the only quality that digital pianos have inherited from their predecessors. Unlike other types of keyboards, digital pianos usually have 88 full-size keys, and their quality is one of the best advancements in the world of digital pianos. While in the early days the keys that were featured on them were a huge turn-off for pianists as they didn’t offer the same resistance and response, nowadays, they are just like a real piano, they are weighted, the black keys are textured, a heavier playing feel in the lower register, which gradually becomes lighter up the keyboard. In other words, your fingers won’t be able to tell the difference.

Aesthetically Pleasing

So, the sound is right, the touch is right, but what about your sight? If aesthetics is something that has you worried, the good news is that there are many different digital pianos available on the market and can find instruments by brands such as Korg Australia and worldwide with breath-taking elegant designs, and they can even look quite similar to the real ones.

What Is Different?

Despite the fact that they produce sound in very different ways, digital pianos and acoustic pianos have a lot in common. However, digital pianos have a lot more to offer, with their own set of cool advantages, thanks to technology,

More Cost-Effective

One of the biggest selling points of digital pianos is their price. Even though some models are more expensive than others, generally digital pianos are more affordable than acoustic ones, as they are not only a smaller indicial investment, but they also eliminate the ongoing expenses. 

Moreover, since, unlike acoustic pianos, digital ones don’t have wires and hammers, they will never go out of tune. The sounds are programmed in, and they are reproduced through speakers which means that they won’t require tunning from a professional tuner, or other types of maintenance. This not only means that you won’t have to play on a piano that’s out of tune for any period of time, but also it means that you will save money that you would otherwise have to spend every year. 

Headphones

Probably most people’s favourite thing about digital pianos is that the player can use headphones while playing. This means that you can practice any time of day or night, without bothering your family or your neighbours. However, playing with headphones has other benefits too. For instance, except if you have a room or a studio that is completely soundproofed, or you leave somewhere alone and without neighbours, this is the only way to really practice in private. Moreover, it offers you the opportunity to drown out the environmental noises or the noises from your busy home. 

Other Technological Advantages 

Another favourite feature of digital pianos, which has made them a very useful tool for many musicians, is their capability to record your playing. The digital recording technology will allow you to record in various audio formats. They can also be equipped with different types of technologies that can help you learn, such as guide lights, and they can even be compatible with other learning apps, to help an adult or a child learn to play. Moreover, in addition to the realistic piano sound, digital pianos can offer different instrument sounds, such as electric piano, vibraphone, organ, so that you can play whatever type of music you like and they allow different sound effects.
