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

    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
