Essential Accessories For Digital Pianos And Keyboards
Choosing the right accessories can make your piano, keyboard or synthesizer more comfortable, practical and enjoyable to play. Whether you need a sturdy stand, a comfortable piano bench, headphones for quiet practice or a pedal to improve expression, the right accessories can make a big difference to your playing experience.
At Rimmers Music, we stock a carefully selected range of accessories for digital pianos, keyboards, stage pianos, synthesizers and acoustic pianos. Our range includes stands, sustain pedals, expression pedals, piano stools, benches, headphones, keyboard amplifiers and other useful accessories for home practice, performance and everyday playing.
If you are unsure which accessory is suitable for your piano or keyboard, please contact us before ordering. Some accessories are universal, while others are designed to fit specific brands or models.
Selected Keyboard And Digital Piano Stands
A good keyboard or digital piano stand helps keep your instrument secure, stable and at a comfortable playing height. We stock a range of stands suitable for different types of keyboards, stage pianos and portable digital pianos.
Some stands are universal, such as X-frame stands, which are designed to support many different keyboard sizes. These are a popular option for players who need something lightweight, adjustable and easy to fold away after use. Double-braced X-frame stands tend to offer more stability than single-braced options and are a good choice for heavier instruments.
Other stands are designed for specific digital piano models and may fix directly to the instrument. These can give a more furniture-style appearance and a more stable playing position, making them ideal for home use.
Before choosing a stand, check the size and weight of your instrument and whether the stand is compatible with your specific model. If you are unsure, our team will be happy to help.
Selected Keyboard And Digital Piano Pedals
Pedals are some of the most useful accessories for keyboards and digital pianos, helping players add expression, control and a more piano-like feel to their performance. The most common option is a sustain pedal, which allows notes to continue sounding after you lift your fingers from the keys.
Sustain pedals are available in different styles. Some are compact square footswitch pedals, while others are more traditional piano-style pedals. Piano-style pedals often feel more natural under the foot and can be more comfortable for students and regular players.
It is important to check compatibility before purchasing a pedal. Sustain pedals can use different polarity settings, which means a pedal may work in reverse if it is not compatible with your instrument. Some keyboards allow you to change the polarity in the settings, and some generic pedals include a polarity switch.
If you have a compatible wooden stand for your digital piano, you may also be able to add a matching pedal board. These usually offer a more traditional three-pedal setup and can make your digital piano feel more complete.
For some keyboards and stage pianos, expression or volume pedals may also be available. These allow you to adjust volume or expression using your foot while you play, which can be useful for more advanced playing, live performance or controlling additional sounds and features.
Before purchasing any pedal, check whether your keyboard, digital piano or synthesizer supports the function you need. If you are unsure which sustain pedal, pedal board, expression pedal or volume pedal is suitable, please contact us for advice.
Selected Piano And Keyboard Benches
A comfortable piano bench or keyboard stool can make a big difference to your posture and playing technique. Sitting at the correct height helps you play more comfortably and can support better hand position, arm movement and control.
For piano and keyboard playing, it is important to sit with your back straight, shoulders relaxed and arms positioned comfortably over the keys. A proper piano stool or bench can help students and players achieve a better playing position than a standard chair.
We stock a selection of fixed and adjustable piano benches in different finishes, including black, white and polished ebony styles. Adjustable benches are especially useful where more than one person uses the same instrument, or where the player needs a more precise seating height.
A good bench is a simple but important accessory, especially for students taking regular lessons or players spending longer periods practising at home.
Selected Electric Piano And Keyboard Amplifiers/Monitors
Keyboard amplifiers and monitor speakers are useful for players who want a fuller, louder or higher-quality sound from their keyboard, stage piano or synthesizer. They can be especially helpful for performances, rehearsals, lessons or players who want more power than the built-in speakers provide.
Many keyboards and digital pianos include a headphone output or dedicated audio outputs. These can be connected to a powered speaker, amplifier or PA system using the correct cable. This can improve the depth and clarity of the sound, particularly at lower volumes or in larger rooms.
When choosing an amplifier or monitor, consider the power, speaker size, available inputs and whether you need to connect other equipment. More advanced speakers may also include EQ controls, allowing you to adjust the sound to suit your instrument and playing environment.
If you are unsure which speaker or amplifier is suitable for your keyboard, digital piano or synthesizer, please contact us for advice before purchasing.
Selected Headphones Great For Keyboards And Digital Pianos
Headphones are one of the most popular accessories for digital pianos and keyboards. They allow you to practise quietly without disturbing others, making them ideal for home use, evening practice and shared living spaces.
A good pair of headphones can also help you hear more detail in your playing. As you move from basic headphones to higher-quality models, you may notice improved comfort, clearer sound and better isolation from outside noise.
Most digital pianos and keyboards use either a mini jack or full-size jack headphone connection. Many headphones include an adaptor, allowing them to work with both socket types. This makes them suitable for a wide range of instruments.
Headphones are especially useful for students, beginners and regular players because they make practice more convenient. They are also a great accessory to add when purchasing a new digital piano or keyboard.
