Converting an acoustic piano into a digital instrument is quite an accomplishment, and that’s exactly what Yamaha’s Clavinova did. It not only captured the sound of an acoustic piano but also replicated its features. It is an incredibly ingenious piece of work.

Maintaining the appearance of a traditional piano, the Clavinova features 88 keys made of both ebony and ivory. Unlike regular acoustics, this instrument retains a crucial feature: the ability to control the volume. The player has control over how much sound is projected, depending on the style of music being played.

The Clavinova used to have limitations, but they have been eliminated. Going beyond the capabilities of a basic piano, it offers numerous features that you may not even use all of them. You can download songs, save recordings, and even connect it to a computer using a USB device or a wireless internet receiver in some models.

Currently, there are two different models to choose from. The first one is the CLP, which is more suitable for students who are just learning to play. Its functions are more limited, making it less likely to confuse someone when figuring out its operation. On the other …

Before purchasing digital keyboards or pianos, it is important to consider which specific model is most suitable for your needs. It can be a costly mistake to buy any type of digital piano online without even looking at it. Random shopping should be avoided when it comes to digital keyboards.

The instrument you choose will depend on your skill level. It also depends on whether you are still a beginner or already capable of playing the digital piano to some extent. If you are already at a decent level, you may prefer a full 88-key digital piano. However, if you are just starting out, a simpler and more compact digital keyboard or piano may be more suitable.

If you want to be able to create new electronic sounds and replicate the various instruments of a whole band, then digital keyboards are more likely to meet your requirements. Digital pianos are the automatic choice if you want to feel and sound like you are playing a real acoustic piano. For a more authentic sound, you should choose a model that has Touch Response. This feature ensures that, similar to traditional pianos, the volume is adjusted according to the …

Not everybody wants or needs a traditional acoustic piano. Upright and baby grand pianos are expensive, difficult to move, and not well-suited for playing or composing contemporary music genres like techno, ambient, and hip-hop.

In many cases, both beginners and experts turn to electronic keyboards to meet their musical needs.

However, navigating through a music store can quickly confuse even the most enthusiastic keyboard shopper. So here are some important factors to consider when comparing keyboards:

(1) How will I use it?

This is a crucial starting point as the intended use of the keyboard will influence the size, weight, and features you’ll require.

  • Are you a beginner whose goal is to learn how to play for personal enjoyment?
  • An intermediate player interested in exploring performance options?
  • Or a professional pianist looking to compose music and explore recording options?

Keyboards come in various models with different numbers of keys, typically 37, 49, 61, 76, and 88 keys. A beginner who wants to practice basic skills may start with 3 octaves or 61 keys at a minimum, while intermediate players will prefer a 4 or 5 octave range.

An acoustic piano has 88 keys – five octaves – …
