Electric Piano or Mechanical Piano?

However, there are many differences between mechanical pianos and electric pianos. Please join us in the following article to distinguish between these two popular Piano products.

During use, preserving the electric piano is quite simple, does not require much effort and does not require too much attention to humidity or weather.

• Never have to tune up Easy transportation. It doesn’t take up too much space, so it’s also convenient for many families whose living rooms are not large.

2) Mechanical piano

When comparing, we absolutely cannot deny the advantages of electric pianos compared to mechanical pianos. However, electric pianos cannot be compared to mechanical pianos. Both in terms of sound, key feel and design. Therefore, The cost of an acoustic piano is often many times more expensive than an electric piano.

• Regarding the sound of an electric piano: An acoustic piano is designed very meticulously, the sound is created from real strings, while an electric piano just imitates the sound of an acoustic piano thanks to electrical pulses.
• Regarding the feel of the keys: Piano players from a young age use their fingers to express different sounds depending on the requirements of the work, such as: hard, soft, loose, solid, loud, soft, strong, soft, resonant or muted. Digital players don’t have that habit. Currently, manufacturers have simulated the digital keyboard responding to the player’s fingers called “Sensitive Touch”. This is a breakthrough in digital piano making technology, but in reality it is still very far from a real piano.
• Durability: Good quality acoustic pianos with beautiful sounds have a high price but are durable over time. Most professional piano players do not like electronic pianos because even though they are similar, electronic pianos only imitate the sound of an acoustic piano. Furthermore, electronic pianos are more susceptible to damage than mechanical pianos because of the principle of emitting sound using electronic circuits. As for an acoustic piano, it doesn’t need electricity to still make sound thanks to the hammers hitting the strings, so it’s difficult to break it!

Our advice to you: If you just want pure intellectual play, you may not need many of the unnecessary things of a real Piano. To buy a Digital Piano, you need to choose the newest type, with enough new technology. If you plan to study professionally or advanced, Piano facility will be a better choice. But since the decision to buy a guitar depends on you, there is no right or wrong answer as to which type of guitar to buy. Your opinion is the most important when deciding between a Digital Piano and an Acoustic Piano.
