Hi Mark - I teach piano locally and my students have bought the following digital pianos and been very happy with them. I own a Yamaha P35 which you are welcome to try out.

This Casio is also really good:

Both digital pianos are around the ?350 mark. The Casio comes with the stand and headphones.


It is worth buying a decent pedal as they don't come with a very realistic block pedal as you'd find on an upright piano.

Thanks so much for advice Lorraine. Ive had a look at both models you shared. Are there any other particular models in a slightly higher price bracket which are less portable and in one piece with pedals and a solid key cover that you'd recommend? There are so many its daunting. Do you rate the Yamaha Arius range? Or other makes: Roland? Kawai? Korg? ...

Mark, if you want to test out Roland digital piano you can visit us. We have a Digital and Acoustic Grand at home.


Roland FP7-F (replaced by FP80 in late 2013), is the best value for money if you are looking in top-tier. Alternatively as lorraine mentioned cheaper best value for money is Casio (latest models improved a lot)


Also Mark, from our experience the resale value of Stage pianos (similar function without much extras!) are much higher than home digital pianos


Pianoworld forum is a great resource

HI there Sunil - been following this thread with interest. I'd shortlisted the FP 7F as sadly, although I'd dearly dearly love an acoustic we don't have enough room at home for much bigger than the Roland. I'd be interested in your views on it - is this the one you've got? Wonder what's changed with the FP80?


Cheers

Hi mark


Are you still looking for a piano? If so we are selling our Yamaha clavinova CLP330.


The only reason we are selling it is that we moved house and now have room for the "real" piano I played as a child.


It cost over ?1000 about 4/5 years ago. We're looking for around ?750 for it.


I found the sound and touch really great. It has a couple of tiny scratches and the power lead isn't the original one as we lost it when moving house but it still works as normal.


If you'd like to see photos let me know or if you'd like to come and try it out you'd be more than welcome.


Thanks, Sarah

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
