A digital piano gives you weighted, piano-style keys and authentic piano sounds without the tuning, moving weight or humidity sensitivity of an acoustic piano. It suits students starting lessons, home players who want a realistic touch, and gigging musicians who need a stage-ready instrument.
We stock home pianos built into a cabinet with a matching stand and bench, and stage pianos designed to travel, so there’s an option whether you’re furnishing a living room or loading a car for a gig. Built-in headphone outputs mean you can practise at any hour without disturbing the rest of the house.

Home pianos for learning and everyday playing
Home pianos are built for a fixed spot in the house, usually with a furniture-style cabinet, integrated speakers and a matching stand or bench. They’re the natural choice for students, family homes and professionals who want their piano to look and feel like part of the room rather than a piece of equipment.
Stage Pianos for gigging and recording
Stage pianos drop the cabinet and speakers in favour of a lighter, more portable design, so you can pack one into a car and set it up on a stand at a gig or in a home studio. They still use weighted key actions and the same piano sound engines as the home range, just without the furniture.
Choosing the right action and sound
The main difference between digital piano models is the key action, how closely the keys mimic the weighted, hammer feel of an acoustic piano, and the sound engine behind them. Entry-level models suit beginners learning the basics, while higher models add heavier, graded hammer actions and layered piano samples for a more expressive touch as your playing develops.

Digital Pianos FAQ
What’s the difference between a digital piano and keyboards?
A digital piano has weighted, piano-style keys and is built to feel and sound like an acoustic piano, usually with 88 keys. A keyboard is lighter, often has fewer keys with a simpler action, and is built more for portability than piano realism.
How many keys does a digital piano have?
Most digital pianos have a full 88-key range to match an acoustic piano, which is worth having if you’re learning classical or grade-based repertoire. Some compact and stage models offer fewer keys to save space or weight, suiting casual players or musicians who mainly play contemporary styles.
Will a digital piano fit in a small room or apartment?
Yes. Digital pianos are far more compact than an acoustic piano and don’t need the clearance an acoustic requires for its soundboard and strings. Many models also have a headphone output, so you can practise quietly at any time.
Do digital pianos need tuning or maintenance?
No. Digital pianos use sampled or modelled sounds rather than strings, so there’s no tuning, and they aren’t affected by humidity or temperature changes the way an acoustic piano is.
Can digital pianos connect to computers and tablets?
Many modern digital pianos feature USB, MIDI and/or Bluetooth connectivity, depending on the model. This can allow you to connect to computers, tablets, music-production software, educational apps and other compatible devices.
Should I choose a portable or furniture-style digital piano?
A portable digital piano is a great choice if you need to move the instrument, perform or have limited space. Furniture-style digital pianos feature an integrated stand and often a three-pedal unit, creating a more permanent setup that looks and feels closer to an upright acoustic piano.
