DP-10X Digital Piano by Gear4music + Accessory Pack, Matte Black

Product Information

With 88 weighted hammer action keys, you really do get an incredibly realistic piano playing experience. We tested out the notes of polyphony. Whilst we were impressed with the previous model, we found that the notes on the DP-10X had the tendency to lag on the odd occasion which was a little frustrating although it didn't cause any problems when playing. Play piano with greater expression and control. The DP-10X gives you an authentic playing experience by simulating the complex mechanism of an acoustic piano. This improved touch and playing response is complemented by a sample-based sound engine, so every note you play is fully expressive. You can get a soft, gentle sound all the way through to something loud and 'fortissimo'. Plus, you can transform the sensitivity of your piano with just the touch of a button. Leo Nicholson studied at the Purcell School, the Junior Royal Northern College of Music, and with Douglas Finch and the late Yonty Solomon at Trinity Laban. Leo has a fondness for Musical Theatre, and has worked on everything from small fringe shows (Belle Canto’s Opera Hour, and the Crowd (wept) and Hamlet! The Musical) to large commercial productions (Jekyll & Hyde UK Tour).

In addition to the lessons, they have created free guides to playing piano to go along with some of the classes. Examples are a rhythm exercise sheet and a beginner finger exercise sheet. Creative Piano Academy also offers paid courses to play piano with more structured lessons. Aside from Ted’s List Youtube Channel, this is also one of the best Youtube channels to learn piano. As any advanced pianist will know; having the right equipment makes the world of difference. Of course, if you know how to play well then you will be able to play a tune on any digital piano. However, if you want the piano to do your skills justice then it is important that you invest in a top end model.The DP-10X also makes it easier to learn your favourite songs. A transposing function lets you can take a song you want to learn and move it into an easier to play key. In Learn Mode, you can play along with any of the demo songs at your own pace, helping you study new pieces and improving your playing. Designed for the Home Even those who are highly knowledgeable in digital pianos will find it a bit of a challenge to choose a model that is right for them. This won't come as a surprise when you consider the sheer amount of models on the market right now. One thing I don’t usually like with closed pianos like this one is that the sound can often sound muffled. I usually prefer to buy a digital stage piano which has the speakers on the top. The sound can then hit you in the face so nothing is lost. But on these home styled digital pianos the sound is often obstructed by the frame. This fairs just fine and the sound still carries nicely and isn’t compromised. The DP10 also features a reverb unit and chorus effect. There are four different presets for each, with no further control possible. While some may find this a bit limiting, we found the presets to be well judged, offering a useful spread of possibilities. The addition of more fine tuning controls would only add unnecessary complexity to the impressively straightforward DP10. Two 15 Watt speakers turn your home into a concert hall, with refined stereo sound. Alternatively, simply plug in your headphones to practise in total silence. Because no one else has to hear it, you can get more practise in. The Split, Layer and Twin modes allow you to customise your sound, in addition to built-in reverb and chorus effects. You can even record your own compositions thanks to the two onboard memory banks. Grows with Your Playing

DP-10X Digital Piano by Gear4music, White Overview

This digital piano has all the expected features, like chorus and reverb effects, and split and layer functions that allow you to play two instruments at the same time or split the piano. But there are also some extra features which you don’t always see on a model of this price, like 3 pedals (although most players only need the sustain), recording functions, transpose function, and 24 voices. Typically you only see around 8-10 extra instruments on a digital piano, like strings, organs, electric pianos, vibraphone, and so on. So having 24 is a bonus, but not everybody would care for this.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. At first glance, we were initially a little concerned that the piano would feel cheap compared to the other two on the list, but fortunately this was not the case at all. We were really impressed with the quality of the piano. Something that really impressed us with this model is how lightweight it is. It is perfect for performing live.Once you’ve done all of this, you’ll know the basics, have a great instrument and be on your way to improving your skill levels. At this point, you’ll probably want to start private piano lessons. We are slowly but surely developing our YouTube Piano Tutorials channel to help people play piano online, learn music theory, help them read sheet music, and advise how to go about getting formal lessons. The last entry on our list of the best digital pianos for the advanced pianist goes to the Alesis Recital PRO Digital Piano. We chose to test this model out because we wanted to include something that was portable enough for live performances and this was the best piano out of all of those that we tested. The rubber feet on the this keyboard bench allows you to play without any movement on any surface type whilst protecting this from damage If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
