Upgrade to accoustics

[zoup]

Hello,

i have been receiving piano lessons for 9 months now, i was wondering if i should upgrade from my roland hp 305 to petrof 125, any tips? anyone here tried them?
is 305 too much different than acoustic ones?

Do you understand the reasons behind the desire for an acoustic piano ? In other words, is this on a whim or is there a reason for the change?

The brand itself holds a good reputation and even what they have made in China is closely overseen..

David,
thanks for the reply,

maybe that's the problem, i really don't understand the reason for the change, that is indeed my initial question. (is it much better? is digital piano dead-end? will it lead to inability to improve my piano skills at some level (when?!))

given that, should i upgrade or not?

The difference can be profound. The key word there is "can". It can also be profound in a negative way, just depends on your view, the size and condition of the piano and quality level of the piano you buy into. To some people both are almost a requirement ( a digital as well as an acoustic).

What you need to do is get out and play on some acoustics ( always fun to try out pianos) and get a feel for yourself if it's something you are interested in. It could be that you find out you don't want one or it could be that you feel you have to have one.

Now assuming a reasonable size and not a so called spinet or console piano is bought then you can expect a seriously more resonating piano, especially the bass. And when you play something that should have a longing or dissonant sound to it a good acoustic can't be beat.

You have a decent piano now, take your time.
