How Modern Technology is Improving Digital Pianos
At this day an age you can do basically anything with technology, it has both improved the way we live our lives and improved devices such as phones and televisions in a way that we never thought possible. With digital pianos, there is no exception. With brands such as Yamaha and Kawai closing the gap between digital and grand pianos not only in feel but in sound is amazing. Take the Yamaha CLP625, for example, it has real grand touch which means it feels exactly like a real acoustic grand piano and the 2 main piano sounds (the CFX grand and Bosendorfer grand) are sampled from the grand pianos themselves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zeg2IWPLAM&t=5s The sound is astonishing and it sounds just like the real thing. Talking now about the response, Yamaha has a technology called GH3X action which means that there are 3 sensors per key so you can be extremely dynamic when you are playing. The key bed responds exactly like an acoustic piano would and you can go from extremely quiet to very loud effortlessly. I have to say that when it comes to digital piano’s the first thing that obviously comes to mind is that it is electronic and not a real feeling, authentic piano BUT that is my point… IS IT? As I touched on before, the gap has been bridged between acoustic and digital piano’s and the gap is closing more and more every year. Piano’s such as the Yamaha avant grand are what are known as hybrid pianos which are around again thanks to the wonders of modern technology. If you are looking for a digital piano then I am positive that we can find one that is perfect for you. I would highly recommend thinking about getting one with weighted keys.
