Thoughts between a Roland RP-701 and a Yamaha Arius YDP-S55
on: November 16, 2025, 06:18:50 PM
The story - 7 year old in piano class, the teacher says its time for him to get a piano with 88 keys, weighted keys, and pedals, none of which his current cheap-ie piano has.  Teacher recommended between these two models.  Linked below.  Anyone have any thoughts as between these two?  I know absolutely nothing about pianos ha.  Or, if these two are bogus, and you'd recommend different models, I'm all ears!  Thanks!!!
