Any advice on which digital piano to get? I grew up with a 'normal' piano and would love my children to learn but we don't really have enough downstairs space for a traditional piano. So was going to get a digital one. Any recommendations would be appreciated (and sources of second hand ones?)


Thanks

The local music shop by East Dulwich station always have a few digital pianos in stock. The Casio CDP-120 is a very good price (about ?299) and doesn't take up much space. If you have a bigger budget, try the Celviano AP-450 (around ?800).

The added benefit of digital is being able to turn it down or use headphones. As a child I hated everyone hearing me practice. Now learning as an adult with a digital piano (Yamaha Arius) and digital headphones and it means I can happily play in the evenings once the kids are in bed. My eldest daughter likes it too as she gets a little more independent and self-conscious. A good investment - good luck with the choice!

Hi, I've just purchased ( arriving tomorrow) the yamaha DGX-660 for the same reasons as you re space. It's ?600 and is a great hammer action electric piano as well as having loads of bells and whistles to p7lay with..... 5 track recorder, sound effect, rhythms, instrument voices. Looking forward to my son learning piano basics but having a lot of creative fun too..... And I'm going to try and brush up my skills too. I ordered through epianos.co.uk - their website has a lot of review and comparison videos. Plus visited Musicland in Downham to physically try out a few. Good luck!

I very recently bought a Yamaha P-45, which is their entry level 88-key digital piano. Lovely graded hammer action and all the benefits digital pianos offer as mentioned by other posters. As I wasn't sure how much the children would take to it, I didn't want to spend a fortune but I've been delighted with it.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
