Buying a digital piano need advice

[kage65]

I would like to get a digital piano. I have a small yamaha now but it is not 88 keys and it sits on a stage stand so I don't think the height off the floor when I sit at it is right at all.
Mainly I want something else so that the height of the piano will be correct when I sit down to play. Therefore I'm looking at one of the digital pianos that comes with a full stand such as the
Korg SP170
Casio cdp 100
Williams Williams Overture 88 Key Digital Piano

Am I right about the height being wrong on a keyboard that's on a stage stand? Will the height be correct on one of these pianos I've listed? Is one of these better than the other? Thanks much.

I used to have a Roland XP-80 which had a stand -- but, the stand height IS adjustable.  Having said that, some years ago I moved up to a Roland KR-277 which has "weighted" keys and is sound-sampled off a Steinway baby grand.  It's the size of a regular spinet piano.  I like it a lot.  Were I to get something new (other than a real piano...) I would seriously consider the Yamaha keyboards -- the ones I've looked at have excellent feel and sound.  Good luck.

When i bought my DP, i went to several music stores and tried many pianos myself.

Chosing a piano by looking at the written information is not a good idea.


PS: Roland FP7 is a really great piano for 1500 euro. I loved that one, but i had only 1000 euro, so i took Roland FP4.

If you want, go find it in the store and try it, the sound of Roland FP7 is AMAZING!!

And you can get these pianos with standaard stand, so the hight will be as any other acoustic piano..

I hope you find a good one soon. Cheers,

I lean more towards a Yamaha. In my opinion the best sound and touch replications. But of course to each his own. The best place to look around that I've found is Musicians Friend. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/
I play a Yamaha PSR sitting on an On Stage Stand which is adjustable. I have it at the lowest point which is 25 inches that makes my keys sit at 27 1/2 inches.

Good luck hunting, Jimbo

Kage,
If you haven't gotten a DP yet, check out the Yamaha CP5. It sounds incredible. Also the wooden keys and weighted action is so close to the real deal that when I closed my eyes I thought I was actually playing a grand.

Musically, Jimbo
