Advantages of portable digital pianos: (1) Compared with real steel, entry-level electric steel is quite cheap (2) It does not take up space (3) It is very easy to move (4) The sound is very good (5) There is almost no maintenance cost (6) You can use headphones and will not make noise to neighbors (7) You can use different timbre (8) You can connect to a computer and use it as a MIDI keyboard.
Disadvantages of portable digital pianos: (1) Even if it is a good portable digital piano, the volume and timbre breadth and expressiveness are still not as good as real steel (2) The sound from the small horn is much worse than the large-area castanets of real steel (3) Most portable digital pianos sound too clean, which makes them sound unreal (4) You can't play it when the power fails.
Key points of purchase:
First, the large polyphonic number
Today's portable digital piano technology plays only one key and produces more than one sampled tone. In order to achieve the realism of the piano performance, samples of mallet noise, monophonic string resonance, overall string resonance, off-key noise, sound maker noise, homophonic resonance, etc. are also added.
Therefore, it is common and reasonable to play the number of sounds of a portable digital piano of more than 88, plus the pedal, in fact, the sound of any chord has long exceeded 100 sounds, so it is recommended that the large polyphony number can be bought more than 192 will be better, so that there will be no concerns about changing the piano in the future
Two. The strings resonate
To play real steel, the left hand gently presses down the do (when it does not make a sound), the right hand hits the treble do, and when the treble do stops, you will hear the sound of throwing strings that resonate until you let go of your left hand. String resonance allows subtle and rich timbre changes when playing the piano with varied key combinations. A portable digital piano that does not have string resonance will lack the rich and delicate sound of a real piano, and it is obvious that the sound is much more dull, and the electric steel with the string resonance function makes people feel the sound of a more real piano.
Three. Escapement
Many people have heard of the escapement mechanism, but they don't really understand its principle and function. The escapement has a great influence on the performance of the piano. This mechanism makes it easier for players to handle muted (PP) expressions, improves sensitivity when playing in fast bursts, and gives the piano a wider dynamic range. At first, the escapement mechanism will only appear on traditional grand pianos, which can make it easy for players to deal with the weak notes in the expression marks, and also improve the sensitivity of fast rebound, so that the piano has a wider sound dynamic presentation. The escapement mechanism allows the keys to be pressed again before they are fully released to make a sound, which is also the magic of the grand piano keys, which is also commonly known as the two-part touch.
