Before we delve deeper, it’s essential to clarify what sets a ‘digital piano’ apart. Unlike an acoustic piano, which produces sound through the action of hammers striking strings and subsequent soundboard amplification, a digital piano has no strings. Instead, each key corresponds to a specific electronically-generated sound, further amplified by a speaker.
However, Yamaha’s digital pianos aren’t entirely devoid of hammers. The hammers here are designed to mimic the dynamic response to touch, offering an acoustic piano-like playing experience. Essential to a digital piano’s identity is its full-sized (88-notes), fully weighted keys akin to an acoustic piano.
The Benefits of Buying A Yamaha Digital Piano
Embodying over a century’s experience in crafting the touch, tone, and aesthetics of their acoustic pianos, Yamaha then spent over 50 years replicating this excellence in a digital format. The result? A series of digital pianos that not only sound like a Yamaha acoustic piano but also provide a similar feel.
Yamaha’s repertoire includes four distinct categories of digital pianos, which we’ll be discussing below:
