Digital Pianos
How to get the sound of a great, if youhave only a small space in which to cheat? ... Get a digital piano! Now I am a professional musician, and although it was not the greatest pianist of the world are happy to play the piano. I bought a Technics digital piano, eight years ago, and I'm really pleased.
The large points on a digital piano are:
And one never goes out of tune (one of the most important considerations for me because I am very sensitive to the wrong field).
2 It does not take much space.
3 can be connected inHeadphones and play all night if you want.
4 occur frequently as the other sounds of the piano even more versatile. (My favorite is the sound of the organ, so to say that you can play in a big church out loud!)
5 Do not have to worry about changes in humidity or temperature.
6 Why the piano is smaller and weighs less, you can actually take them to another house, rent a motor without a professional piano.
7 The cost for a good digital piano is about£ 1000: considerably less expensive than a good piano.
Now the piano purists out there might say that:
1 The feeling of a digital piano is not the same as a real piano. I agree but the digital piano manufacturers to improve this all the time and is very good.
2 The sound is not as good as a real piano. This too is improving all the time. Go try one today and see what I mean. If you have money, then you should try the Yamaha AvantGrand(Http: / / www.avant-grand.com)
I personally think the pros out weigh the disadvantages. But like many things in life it is a subjective decision, you need to make based on your budget, the space you have available and how much you fancy a nice piece of furniture in the room.
Maintenance
Of course, if you have a digital piano is therefore no maintenance by some with a clean cloth and a damp cloth (to remove the sticky fingerprints on them!) Requires
Buttraditional piano tuning!
How often you should vote your plan? In fact you should not wait until it hurts to hear. Adjust tuning is to keep the piano in a better condition and is pleasant to the ear! Every six months to a year is advisable. More than that and will have to work harder to get the plane on the route.
If your home will vary in heat and humidity throughout the year (is not), then it may be necessary to adjust the piano more often. If youmove the piano, then let it sit before tuning. What will it cost? A qualified tuner probably take about $ 100 - $ 150 for a basic optimization of the piano.
