What Is A Digital Piano?

[Ken London]

If space and cost were not a constraint almost everybody would have
loved to own an acoustic grand piano. The grand piano is a majestic
instrument and not only does it looks good it sounds great as well.
But unfortunately not everybody can afford one as everybody has a
limited budget and space. Besides everybody needs the features
associated with a digital instrument. This is what makes the Digital
Piano so popular among a lot of people.
A digital piano was developed as an alternative to the acoustic piano
but the sound producing mechanism in a digital piano is totally
different. Digital pianos use high quality samples to produce piano
sounds. The better the samples the more expensive the digital piano
becomes.
Another important factor is the keyboard touch & feel. A Digital
piano needs to have keys which feel almost like real keys of an
acoustic piano. The better digital pianos come with graded hammer
action which simply means that the keys are heavier on the bass side
and get gradually lighter as you move to the right of the keyboard.
This is how the keys feel on an acoustic piano.
A few other digital pianos have the look of a digital keyboard and
they are designed to be portable. They are lightweight and can be
easily moved around. They are used by gigging musicians and are
referred to as stage pianos.
All the Digital pianos have a slot to connect a headphone so that you
can practice without disturbing others. Also, there are no maintenance
& tuning activities needed for a digital piano.

You posted this to a group of piano technicians. Do you actually
think you are telling us things we don't know? Besides, we make our
living tuning and repairing acoustic pianos.

Dumbass.
