When looking for a piano, you need to decide between digital and acoustic pianos.

Digital pianos have become very popular. They produce convincing piano sound and have some strong advantages, like the fact that they are virtually maintenance-free. Digital pianos also require less space, are lighter, and are easier to transport. They give you more sound options and allow you to connect to your computer for further processing via a MIDI connection. The only thing they don’t have is the exact acoustic piano sound and appearance.

Acoustic upright pianos are the most popular. They offer some great advantages when it comes to size, weight, and cost. Above all, they are a good platform for serious piano learning and playing.

Acoustic grand pianos have larger horizontal soundboards and, therefore, have the best sound of all pianos. They are visually appealing and very decorative. On the negative side, grand pianos are expensive, require a lot of space, are difficult to move, and require more maintenance.

If you are serious about the piano and plan to become proficient, you probably should stay away from small digital keyboards. They look like pianos, but they are not suitable for serious playing. They are a lot of fun but lack the main ingredients of a piano, namely touch-sensitive keyboard keys, foot pedals, and the right number of keys (88).

The right piano for you depends on your personal preferences, budget, and space constraints. Take your time, do thorough research, and enjoy the process of finding the perfect piano for your needs.
