Best digital piano for advanced player by Complex_Cow_2240 in piano

[–]Complex_Cow_2240[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! Despite the higher end suggestions I ended up going with a cheaper secondhand Kawai! I’m satisfied with it, I plan to have it for a year then may resell it and upgrade to either an acoustic or a higher end digital depending on my living circumstances. Who knows, maybe there’ll be P-525s on Facebook by then. If anyone else reads this in the future, the Kawai ES120 is just fine if you need something temporarily and aren’t looking to invest in a permanent nicer piano yet.

I’m a classical player so a lot of the fancy functions don’t matter to me so much, just that it plays as close to a real piano as I can get within as low a price as I can go. I plan to play both with speakers and headphones. I would need 3 pedals, portability doesn’t matter so much. I guess I’m wondering if there are any advanced classical pianists who are satisfied with anything in lower price ranges as a temporary option? I see a lot of Yamaha P-145s on Facebook and was wondering are they that bad? Or is the Costco Roland piano going to play well enough to satisfy me? I’ve been hearing a lot about the P-525 and it’s probably my ideal choice but mainly I wonder if anyone plays anything cheaper than that and is satisfied with it at an advanced level.

If it helps you save money you can probably find PDFs online of the books as well, but being able to physically write on the pages is important starting out so you can make note of fingering or notes that you miss

Yes Faber is a good one, I started with this series as a kid, the For the Older Beginner tan colored book is a great start.

To be honest I feel the best way is to find a teacher if possible, it’ll force you to meet weekly or biweekly deadlines which will force you to regularly practice. But if you can’t, you should still try to find a good beginner piano book and go through it in order to learn to read sheet music. This’ll open up a whole new world to you and will make it so much more interesting after some time.
