Looking for the Best Stage Pianos, Digital Pianos?
If you are looking for the best stage piano, then you need to know the difference between a quality stage piano and a normal piano keyboard. When you see musicians performing on stage many people think they are playing a keyboard or synthesizer. While some may, many are using a high quality stage piano. So, what is a stage piano and how does it differ from a keyboard? There are many differences in the two seemingly similar boards.
A piano for the stage contains a full 88 keys. The keys are fully weighted, meaning the play just like the one on a piano. A keyboard has a foot switch but rarely a true sustain pedal. The keyboard has on board speakers. The piano has been designed to hook into stage quality speakers.
An electronic keyboard can produce literally thousands of sounds. The stage one uses a digital signal processing sound modeling technique that produces a high quality, clear sound.
A piano has to be controlled by knobs and buttons whereas the electronic one is controlled by touch screen LED display. Most pianos only have a few sounds such as the acoustic piano, piano and Hammond organ. All these things add up to a very big difference.
A musician can use a piano to run a variety of synthesizer and keyboards. It becomes the master board through which the sound runs. This is a popular set up because it produces much better sound quality. When doing live stage performances sound quality is everything. An audience will know quickly if what you are using is not up to par.
The disadvantage of the piano is the price. Due to the differences in how the sound is produced, the price of the stage piano is significantly higher. The digital keyboard is usually reserved for practice or home use. They are also less expensive but provide the user with many exciting and creative sound tools.
Digital keyboards allow the owner to experiment with different sounds. They often hook to a laptop and provide printed copies of the music that was just written. It can also help you learn to play. With the LED readout, the learner can follow along right there on the screen.
They feature a built in speaker system so no amps, speakers or the like is needed. If you need to be quiet, you can simply plug in the earphones and keep playing. All these features are very helpful but in the end, it is the sound quality that counts.
When the musician gets on stage and hooks into the high output amps, they need a stellar quality stage piano to make the crystal clear sounds that blend in with the rest of the band. Without that quality, their music becomes distorted and the performance goes lacking.
Without a doubt, some of the most popular and best stage pianos are the Yamaha P80 Digital Piano and Casio PX 120 Privia Digital Piano
