One thing I don’t usually like with closed pianos like this one is that the sound can often sound muffled. I usually prefer to buy a digital stage piano which has the speakers on the top. The sound can then hit you in the face so nothing is lost. But on these home styled digital pianos the sound is often obstructed by the frame. This fairs just fine and the sound still carries nicely and isn’t compromised. Even those who are highly knowledgeable in digital pianos will find it a bit of a challenge to choose a model that is right for them. This won't come as a surprise when you consider the sheer amount of models on the market right now. Leo has a fondness for Musical Theatre, and has worked on everything from small fringe shows (Belle Canto’s Opera Hour, and the Crowd (wept) and Hamlet! The Musical) to large commercial productions (Jekyll & Hyde UK Tour). However, we are here to make your decision easier. We have tested and reviewed some of the best digital pianos available online right now. Below you will find a countdown of 3 of what we think are a good contender for the best digital piano for the advanced pianist. Read on below for more information. 1. Gear4Music DP-6 Digital Piano Review - The Best ChoiceThe lessons are well-structured and contain very high-quality videos. This quality ensures that you don’t miss a thing, especially during the demonstrations. You’ll learn piano covers, popular songs, all whilst learning new piano concepts. Play the keyboard wherever you go: Power via the included power adapter or 6 D cell batteries (not included) for professional piano performance anywhere

The DP10 comes loaded with a small palette of sounds. There are two piano sounds (one bright, one warm), then there's CP80-style electric piano, harpsichord, vibraphone, church organ, strings, trumpet, sax and oboe. The two piano sounds are reasonably good; they're not going to challenge a top-end physical modeling synthesis engine, but are very playable nonetheless. As any advanced pianist will know; having the right equipment makes the world of difference. Of course, if you know how to play well then you will be able to play a tune on any digital piano. However, if you want the piano to do your skills justice then it is important that you invest in a top end model. Alongside these audio connectors is a USB port. This enables you to send MIDI messages from the DP10 to your computer and vice-versa and means you could use the DP10 as a master keyboard in a studio. We'd like to have seen old-school MIDI ports as well as - or instead of - a USB port. MIDI ports are ubiquitous and would have enabled the DP10 to control other keyboards and synthesizers.The rubber feet on the this keyboard bench allows you to play without any movement on any surface type whilst protecting this from damage

The DP-10X comes with a range of connection options - so as you develop, your piano keeps up. It's even great for performing on stage, thanks to its RCA stereo output. The DP-10X also includes an auxiliary input, so you can easily play along to music from your phone or sound system. Once you’ve done all of this, you’ll know the basics, have a great instrument and be on your way to improving your skill levels. At this point, you’ll probably want to start private piano lessons.
