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

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system. We have been forced to close for one of the busiest weekends of the year, losing thousands of pounds in income, and are now having to fight our landlords for support with the leak. We are asking all our allies for support as we try and reignite the crowdfunder to reflect the new expensive work that needs to take place, and the gear we need to replace. Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward. If you have any ideas with getting media attention, or fundraising - please get in touch on [email protected] Even if you like myself have not previously visited this venue, supporting small not for profit venues are vital to the life blood of what 'commmunity' is all about.
