Digital Pianos

Most popular digital pianos

Yamaha - The worldwide leader. Also known as 'Yamaha Clavinova' - Yamaha's famous brand.
Roland - A major player in the music industry. Roland's HP and KR series are their most popular.
Casio - Offer two ranges: Privia and Celviano which are both constantly improving. Great value for money.
Kawai - Offer a good range of digitals. The sound and touch is realistic.
Korg - More famous for their keyboards & synthesisers. Worth comparing.
Gem- Nice range of digitals. Great for beginners and affordable.
Suzuki - For complete beginners that can't afford to spend very much.
Valdesta - Made in Asia and sold exclusively in the US.

There are many more digital piano brands that do not make the most popular list. Some of these are of extremely poor quality so please beware. Here is a list: Alesis, Bohemia, Bohm, Daewoo, Diginova, Ensonio, Farfisa, Hammond, Ketron, Kurzweil, Orla, Samick, Solton, Technics, Viscount Allegro, Wersi.

Digital pianos are also commonly called electric or electronic pianos. See all digital pianos.

Most popular upright pianos

Yamaha -  The most popular pianos in the world. Yamaha have been making uprights for over 100 years.
Kemble -  The only upright pianos that are built in England. Their factory in Milton Keynes, UK produces around 30 pianos per day. A lot of these pianos are shipped around the world.
Kawai - Reasonably priced uprights but lacking in quality of sound when you compare with Yamaha or Kemble.
Bohemia - Great sounding European piano. The Bohemia upright piano factory in Jihlava, Czech Republic has been making pianos since the late 19th Century.
 
Main upright piano makes on this site: Steinway, Bechstein, Bluthner, Bosendorfer, Fazioli and Klima.
Upright pianos are also commonly called vertical or traditional pianos. Old or antique uprights are straight strung and over damped, sometimes they have a wooden frame. Modern uprights are overstrung, under damped and have a cast iron piano frame. See all upright pianos. See all upright pianos.
