Learn how to play Piano: A digital or acoustic Piano?

If I had to choose between buying an acoustic piano or digital piano which is the best choice? Let's take a look at the different choices if you want to learn to play the piano.

Personally I have not been forced to make the decision between buying a normal upright piano, digital piano, as I have in my house. I see advantages in both types of pianos in the practice of the art of learning to play the piano.

A normal upright piano produces sound with hammers hitting strings. A digital piano to attempt to reproduce the feeling of playing an acoustic piano.

Most people are familiar with the normal upright piano, but what advantage has a digital piano?

First describe us a digital piano.

A digital piano is composed of a keyboard with a key action weighted, sensors that detect the speed when you play the keys and a set of sounds that you can choose. To make it possible to listen to the piano when you play, you have an amplifier and speakers and headphone outlets.

Here are some of the advantages with a digital piano:

1. A digital piano has no need to be resolved. A normal acoustic piano you need to adjust one or two times per year. If you cannot resolve a piano yourself you have to turn to a piano tuner. It may be rather expensive of course. Even a piano tuner must pay its bills.

2. You can practise in silence. A digital piano will typically have a headphone jack with a helmet you can practice as much as you want without disturbing neighbors or family members.

3. The Midi interface. A digital piano is generally a midi interface that allows to connect your piano to a computer and use a software for music notation programs or a sequencer program or a software synthesizer.

What are the disadvantages of having a digital piano?

1 In acoustic piano sounds are produced by vibrating strings and different areas interact in a way that you can not copy on a digital piano. The sound quality of the sounds produced by the digital pianos are more and better, but it still is a completely different way of sound production.

2. A digital piano is limited when it comes to produce different colours of tone by different ways of playing. An accomplished pianist might feel limited by the sampled sounds.

There is much more to say on the choice of a piano, but it's a start.

As you can see it is not so easy to decide which is better for you. If you decide what type of piano to buy, you can do as I did. Having both types of pianos and keep the smile.
