You're a beginner student
and you wanting to get an instrument to practice,
what do I even get?
There are so many options out there.
It's confusing.
Hi, I'm Jazer and I'm here to help you
to decide what kind of piano is best for you.
Now when you're trying to pick out an instrument to buy,
you have two options.
You either buy a digital piano/keyboard
or you buy an actual acoustic piano
like that one over there.
Here are some reasons why you might like to
buy a digital piano/keyboard.
Digital piano is are cheaper.
So you're not breaking your wallet when you're
trying to get this instrument
right?
And sometimes you might want to just kind of get something quicker
so you can start to practice.
A lot of the pianos out there, the acoustic pianos,
whether it's upright or grand,
they run up in the thousands
and sometimes not everyone can afford that.
And what you might want to do is to just get a keyboard first
and start practicing.
Keyboards are compact.
So if you're living in an apartment
or if you have not much space
to put the actual instrument in your house,
get a keyboard
because it doesn't take up
as much space as that.
And because it's portable, what that means
is you can use the keyboard and bring it all around.
You can move it into
a one room,
you can bring it to your friend's house.
Well, you can bring it to
gigs that you want to play in.
You can bring it to,
yeah,
anywhere, really.
Keyboards are low maintenance.
What that means is you don't have to tune it
ever.
It stays in tune 24/7 365 days a year.
With this piano,
I tuned that a few times a year.
Two or three times.
So each time that costs over $100.
So that's a cost that you want to think about.
Also with a piano once I was practicing
really aggressively on it and one of my crazy pieces.
And what happened was one of the F strings broke?
So I had to get someone to come in
and redo the string, that costed me a
bit of money.
So when you're getting a keyboard,
you're going to have little problems of that kind of stuff.
Keyboards have more features.
And what that means is it has like recording features.
It has different instrumental features,
that means you can play,
you can play bass,
you can play guitar,
you can play drums on the keyboard themselves.
And that can be quite entertaining.
If you
get bored of the piano sound
for kids as well,
sometimes the keyboards that come with
prepacked lessons
and fun little music games that you can do.
So that's an option to consider.
Now next up,
let's talk about why you might want to get
an actual acoustic piano.
Now the first thing is
the acoustic piano is the real thing.
Now,
this first point
possibly outweighs
and defeats all of the four points that I just said
for digital pianos or keyboards.
With a real piano,
what you're getting is a real
sound,
a real tone production.
You're getting real touch.
The touch is really important for me.
And what I mean when I say touch is the way
the keys feel when you play them.
So how hard or how soft it is and how
it generally feels going up and down.
Now there is really something about this real thing
that I
can't exactly put into words
but the real thing
really feels
real
and therefore like you enjoy playing on it so much more.
So the way that I like to think about
digital pianos in comparison to an actual acoustic piano
is digital piano. Sometimes they feel like
fake flowers.
Like
you look at them and they
look real and they
do the job,
but you know,
deep down
they're not real.
There is no comparison.
When you're playing on an a real acoustic piano,
you truly feel
amazing and you feel
everything about it
is just
authentic and heartfelt.
That's the way I would like to put it.
Especially when you've been playing the piano for a few years
or you're wanting to do exams or performances,
you are definitely wanting to look
into getting an actual piano
because
that's going to be the game.
That's going to be the instrument
that is on stages
and the one that's truly
the real deal.
Now the next thing in favor of getting a real acoustic piano
is that an
an acoustic piano,
It looks expensive.
So this has got nothing to do with music
but an actual acoustic piano,
like this one or one that that goes on, against a wall.
They look serious,
they look expensive.
and so
they can be aesthetically part of your
sort of interior design of your house.
They generally look quite nice when you
walk into a house and you see a piano,
it looks quite nice.
So here are just some of my ideas on
why I think you should get a digital piano/keyboard
or
A get a real acoustic piano.
So have a think about it.

when you're getting either a digital piano or keyboard
or an actual acoustic piano.
