See the range at ToneCraftPortable Keyboards are the most affordable instrument for the beginner piano student. To be used effectively, they MUST have “touch response keys” – that is, the keys allow the student to play dynamics (loud, soft) through striking the keys harder or softer. While many of these keyboards have a large range of additional sounds and drums built in, these are not necessary features.
Typical purchase price from $300 + accessory cost (stand, power adaptor)
Digital Pianos have the benefit of being portable like a keyboard, but with the weighted keys like a Piano. So not only can the student master dynamics, they also have the correct feel of a real piano with the advantage of semi-portability. There is a large range of this type of instrument available, from portable units that sit on a fold-up stand, to wooden cabinet units that replicate the furniture aspect of a real piano.
Typical purchase price from $750 + accessory cost (stand, power adaptor)
While most students aspire to play a “real” piano, the high cost usually means it’s an instrument kept until the student is more advanced. There is a very good reason the piano is the world’s most popular instrument – it sounds spectacular! Ask us for a recommendation.
Typical purchase price from $5500
