Thousands of families, students, churches, musicians, and hobbyists have found the right piano to fit their lifestyle at Miller Piano Specialists. A modern digital piano might be the perfect fit for you, combining the expressive feel of an acoustic with the convenience of advanced technology.

Whether you’re buying your first piano, upgrading for lessons, or need a stage-ready instrument, you’ll get expert guidance, clear information, and support every step of the way.

What is a Digital Piano?

A digital piano is an electronic instrument that closely emulates the sound and touch of an acoustic piano but with key advantages you’ll love: volume control, built-in learning tools, recording features, connectivity, and no maintenance required. Quality digital pianos have 88 weighted keys and sound engines that mimic real grand pianos.

From sleek home models to performance-ready portable pianos with Bluetooth® and USB, digital pianos offer the versatility and features that today’s musicians need.

Digital vs. Acoustic Pianos: What You Need to Know

If you’re comparing your options, know that today’s digital pianos are incredibly close to acoustic instruments in terms of touch, tone, and responsiveness. Are they equal? Not quite… They each have their place and use, BUT digitals have come a long way in the last decade and are an amazing option for many.

Here’s what you get with a digital piano:

  • Realistic Touch & Feel: High-quality, modern digital pianos use real wood in the keys and generally have a weighted hammer action and escapement for a playing experience that closely mimics an acoustic piano.
  • Dynamic Sound: Advanced sound engines that model or simulate complex acoustic behaviors like string resonance, damper interaction, and tonal decay – in real time.
  • Quiet Practice: Play anytime using headphones and volume controls.
  • Worry-Free Use: No tuning or humidity control required.
  • Smart Features: Many models include Bluetooth® MIDI, USB ports, lesson functions, rhythm accompaniments, and app connectivity.

Why a Digital Piano Might Be Right for You

Digital pianos are ideal when you need flexibility without sacrificing feel or sound.

  • Families & Students – Practice quietly, access learning apps, and never worry about tuning.
  • Songwriters & Hobbyists – Easily record your ideas and connect to your computer.
  • Churches & Studios – Transpose on the fly, layer sounds, and plug in easily.
  • Performers – Lightweight and road-ready without sacrificing quality.

Many piano teachers are now even recommending starting on a digital piano for beginners, especially when space, cost, or maintenance are a concern. Those that don’t typically have memories of older digital pianos without the modern innovations today’s digital have.. That said, there’s no digital exactly like an acoustic.

Our Favorite Digital Pianos

Now that you understand what a digital piano offers, you might be wondering where to start. With so many models and features available, it’s important to focus on the instruments that deliver the most value, realism, and versatility.

While we proudly carry multiple brands to suit a wide range of needs, preferences, and budgets, certain manufacturers stand out for their consistent quality and innovative features. These are the pianos we find ourselves recommending most often to students, professionals, churches, and families.

Why Choose Roland?

Roland has consistently led the industry in digital piano innovation, often years ahead of the curve. Many of the features now considered standard, like Bluetooth connectivity, hybrid wood/plastic key actions, and real-time piano modeling, were pioneered by Roland and only adopted by other makers much later. Their forward-thinking approach has defined Roland from the very beginning. One such example is the co-creation of the MIDI standard in the early 1980s by Roland’s founder, Ikutaro Kakehashi – done not for credit or profit, but simply to move music technology forward. That same spirit of innovation continues to guide Roland today.

Here’s what you’ll find across many of their popular models:

  • Pure Acoustic Piano Modeling – Get a piano sound that is generated from your playing, not just a recording playback.
  • PHA-50 Hybrid Key Action – Enjoy an expressive, acoustic piano-like touch with long-term durability.
  • Bluetooth Audio & MIDI – Connect seamlessly to your favorite apps or stream music wirelessly.
  • Roland Cloud Access – Expand your sound library and features with downloadable content.
  • Entertainment Features – Models like the FP-E50 let you sing and play with band-style backing and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you learn piano properly on a digital piano?

Yes. Digital pianos with weighted keys support proper finger technique and expression. More importantly, they all you to do the most important thing – play.

Do digital pianos need tuning?

Never. Your piano will stay in perfect tune forever. That said, some allow you to adjust the tuning digitally, but that can simply be reset when needed.

What is Pure Acoustic Modeling?

It’s a technology that recreates the full acoustic piano experience using real-time algorithms instead of playing back static recordings.

How is a digital piano different from a keyboard?

Technically, all pianos are keyboard instruments, but you might be thinking “keyboard” as in a smaller or more portable digital piano. In that case, a digital piano has 88 weighted keys and rich tone and sound. “Keyboards” may have fewer keys and feel lighter and more like a computer keyboard with less resistance in key presses.

What digital piano brand is best – Roland, Yamaha, Kawai, Casio?

Each has strengths. Roland leads in modeling, app integration, and build quality. We’ll help you compare what’s best for your needs.
