I Want to Buy a Digital Piano for Practice

Hey there, Lucia!

Welcome to the site and I wish you much fun and a pleasant stay.

Salerno is a magnificent city, still human-sized, which I often find myself revisiting.

I was born in Vietri sul Mare, but I have been living here in Rome for a lifetime now; it's also a beautiful city, but not human-sized!

Regarding your question, if you enter "digital piano" into the search box (top right, where you see the little green magnifying glass) and activate the search, you will see that the topic has already been discussed in several threads. I hope this satisfies your curiosity soon.

Bye and happy studying!!!!

Hi Lucia, I tried the Roland FP7F, it's really beautiful and costs about € 1600.00, it could be the right piano for you.

I also have an FP7 (my wife gave it to me a year ago, on the advice of the infamous PianoExpert!), which in terms of keyboard (the FP7, not PaoloPianoExpert) is exceptional.

The cost paid, as far as I know, was around 1450 Euro, including pedal, stand, and case.

Nothing to say, great sound and an exceptional keyboard for dynamics and lightness. It is also possible to adjust the touch response and parameterize the sound for the Piano1 voice.

Keep in mind, however, that the FP7 has a notable number of voices and various features that, nonetheless, affect the price.

Finally, although it is portable, it weighs quite a bit; let's just say it is transportable if you use an in-love boyfriend!

Ultimately, the choice depends not only on how much you want/can spend, but also and especially on the intended use.

I would say it is worth browsing through the conversations that have been held on the subject.

An excellent reference is the advice from TheSimon, who also knows the FP7 (he often plays it at PianoExpert's house) and who, I believe, has tried almost all of them by now.

I agree with the Roland FP7. It has excellent value for money and satisfies me. Try it

Guys, I recommended the FP7-F which has a lot more features than the fp7, listing some characteristics.

The new Roland FP7-F brings the previous FP7 to a higher level thanks to four new features: the SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine, the new PHAIII keyboard with Ivory Feel and escapement, an integrated looper, and a microphone input with harmonic effects. It is available in black and white finishes, and is compatible with the RPU-3 pedal unit and the specific KSC-44 stand (optional).

Giovanni,

sorry, the F slipped our minds!

It's normal that, after a year, a year and a half, things are found to have improved! But the price has also improved! 😐 (In fact, I didn't understand where the difference of almost 10% came from! I thought of a slightly greedy merchant and tried to point it out, delicately!) 🙄

The important thing is to decide what you want to do at the moment and not wait for the best (which will never come), spending knowing that, very soon, the electronic item paid for will be obsolete! 😍

Mine was just a clarification; having tried the model with one extra "F", I couldn't recommend the previous model which I haven't tried, and anyway Gennarino, you are right: if we obsess over every new release, we ruin our lives and our wallets.

See you soon.

P.S. but what happened to the person concerned?

I would also try a Kawai MP8, or the newer MP10 http://www.kawaius.com/main_links/digital/Features/new_actions2010.html

in my opinion, the best action you can find in a digital piano; the new MP10 also has a keyboard that feels like ivory and an extraordinary touch sensation. The sound is debatable but the action is not! It costs slightly more than the aforementioned Roland.

The MP8 can also be found used.

For work and for pleasure, I play keyboards a lot, and sincerely, if you don't need the digital piano to carry it around, I wouldn't buy it; an upright with a silent system is better. Good choice!

Ciao

Feliciano

The silent system was excellent; I don't know if what I tried was a true silent system or just something similar on a grand piano, but it was many years ago, right when it had just come out. It was applicable to any piano, but they would have had to take it away to the laboratory and then return it to me in a few days. They would have installed this system on the action, a sound card with a MIDI interface, and a computer with the screen placed on top of the lid...

If you go to the official Roland website you will find everything, and for prices check Scavino e. commerce. As far as I'm concerned, Rolands have the best samples even if they cost a bit more than average, and I have shortly decided on a Roland f-110 which in my opinion has everything at a contained price. It is only 30 cm deep and one meter thirty-six in length. You can also find many demonstration videos on YouTube. Bye and have fun.
