Why are some more expensive?
There’s always a model that cost’s more. What’s the difference?
Better is a relative word and is always subject to personal opinions. However, in the world of digital pianos there is a pretty clear progression from one model to the next.
When you look at any manufacturers product line each successive model either adds features, improves something from the previous model or in some cases both. Sometimes simply reviewing the specifications of two or more models doesn’t always reveal an obvious difference. It is usually the case that the higher models have a superior feel to the keys or likely a superior piano sound. In the case of models with lots of features, drums, accompaniments etc. it is usually a matter of successive models improving sound quality and increasing the number of features while also improving those features. These multi featured models often require an expert to assist you in understanding the differences from one model to the next.
As we attempt to point out in the “ which model is right for me” section, just because an instrument offers a feature doesn’t necessarily mean that you need it. Having said that, in most cases if you want the best feeling and best sounding model you may also get some features that you don’t necessarily need or want. On the other hand, if you are looking at more basic models you may be left wanting a feature that is not included in an attempt to keep the price down. This is just the way it goes. Manufacturers try their best to match quality and features in their models but they don’t always suit everyones individual preferences.
The main thing in digital pianos that change from model to model is the quality of the piano sound and in some cases the quality of the feel of the keyboard. While even the least expensive models sound and feel like a real piano, the more elaborate and expensive models feel and sound more authentic as the models progress upwards.
