Buying A Digital Keyboard? Read This First

By Andrew Strauss Laeddis


Commitment to training, talent and a top notch instrument makes a great pianist. Even the greatest piano virtuoso will find it difficult to reproduce his award winning pieces on a piano that is below par to begin with.

Some do not pursue a piano training simply because they think that pianos are expensive. If you are a beginner, getting a good quality but less expensive digital keyboard would be a much better option.

Digital keyboards have five general types. First of which are digital pianos, which are good for those who are still starting out, because they are simple and easy to use. Arrangers are loaded with features that allow you to be a one-man band, that is, it can provide you automatic drum, bass and chord accompaniment. Stage pianos, as the term implies are made for those who intend to use it for onstage performances. While not as feature rich as an arranger, the sound it generates is much bolder. Advanced piano players can tinker around with workstations and synthesizers. More work can be done on these systems such as sequencing, recording or editing music as well as manipulating waveforms. Their professional extra features make them the most expensive among the five.

There are several digital piano manufacturers out there, but Casio pianos are one of the most sought-after primarily because they are feature-rich yet inexpensive. They are best known for their topnotch beginner pianos which come built in with step-up learning systems. Casio also incorporated a music challenge feature to most of their beginner keyboards to provide a fun learning experience. High-end Casio pianos also have tri-sensor scaled hammer-action and ivory touch keyboards which gives its users almost the same audible and aesthetic delight of a concert piano.

For those who are just starting out, the CTK-2100 is already a good piano. For less than $170 you already get a 61-key digital keyboard with a huge range of features and functions. The step-up learning program installed in every CTK-2100, assists tutees with fingering and notes. Using AHL audio technology, these keyboards provide almost the same sweet tunes produced by a real grand piano.
