 "It's so refreshing to have unbiased un-salesman like information"

Dear Graham,

Thank you for your e-mail. I'm so glad I came across your book, it was an immense help!

I've actually just ordered the Roland RP201 from Thomann.

I don't have any questions as yet - but if I do I know where to come!

Thanks for being so open with the advice given on your website - it's so refreshing to have unbiased un-salesman like information.

Kind Regards, Claire Miller, Andover

"Without your information I may well have just bought a cheap piano that I would have been disappointed with"

Hi Graham,

Without your information I may well have just bought a cheap piano that I would have been disappointed with. I have ordered a Yamaha CLP320. I would have liked the 330 but for my needs the extra cost was just too much.

"It's really informative especially for parents like us sourcing piano for kids yet can't play it ourselves"

Hi Graham,

I read the whole book. It's really informative especially for parents like us sourcing piano for kids yet can't play it ourselves. Now at least we know what to look for. Do keep up yr good work and I believe yr advises have helped many like us.

"...Sharing your expertise with us minions to inform, protect and save us from the scammers!"

Dear Graham,

Thanks so much for your book about digital pianos. You seem to be the Martin Lewis (in the financial world) of digital piano's, that is, sharing your expertise with us minions to inform, protect and save us from the scammers! And to enjoy our best experiences of digital pianos.

Thanks,

"It has been very helpful indeed in deciding which piano to buy"

Hi Graham
 
I did get the book, thanks, and have read it all. It has been very helpful indeed in deciding which piano to buy, and in fact we have decided to hang fire for the time being, as the amount we'd planned to spend would have been a false economy, so we're going to wait until either we can afford one worth buying or search among our muso friends to see if anyone's thinking of upgrading theirs anytime soon.
 
Excellent service, many thanks, and best wishes for 2010.
 
Kind regards, Michael

"It is without doubt the best advice I have ever seen on this subject"

Hello Graham

I must say that when I ordered your book, I didn't expect to see something so comprehensively informative.

I teach both keyboard & piano so my instrument has to be able to deal with both aspects. I chose a Yamaha CVP305 & I believe it to be an excellent choice. In fact, most of my keyboard pupils end up wanting to play more piano than keyboard!

Although I knew some of the things in your book already, I also learnt a lot too. This will help when I am giving advice to my pupils when they want to buy a new instrument.

It is without doubt the best advice I have ever seen on this subject. I will need to make sure I always have the latest version as the market is, of course, constantly changing.

Thank you & best wishes, Richard

"I have been checking some of the sites you recommended and am almost sorted"

Hi Graham,

Your book is a mine of information for which I am very grateful. You certainly seem to know your digital pianos.

I had a number of lessons some years back but didn't practice enough and have now forgotten most of what I learned. I now want to try again but we think our old piano may have the dreaded woodworm so we have condemned it in favour of digital.

My 3 year old granddaughter also likes to plonk on our old piano so it may come in useful for her. I have been checking some of the sites you recommended and am almost sorted.

Thank you for your information and knowledge.

Regards
Mary Howe

"Thanks for your information"

I am considering, at the moment, a Casio AP200, which I have had recommended by a music shop in York.

I am not an accomplished pianist and (in my opinion) do not play any better than when I was in my teens, which is 50 years ago!   So I am not interested in anything too complicated, i.e. accompaniments, drums, syncopation etc., etc.   I just want a sound of a piano!

Thanks for your information though!

"Thanks for your very useful book. You answered many of my questions about digital pianos"

Hi Garham

Thanks a lot for your very useful book! it was very wonderful  for me and answered to many my questions about digital pianos.

Thank you very mush again and "HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU :) "

Best Regards

"thank you very much and let me tell you that I don`t know many people sharing their best experience and knowledge with public like you"

Dear Graham,

you are right, I downloaded the book and whatever it contains is very precise and understandable even for me.

I have read it briefly, I found out that it answers all my questions I had before and I learnt a lot. Another looks into the book and I will be very educated buyer. Thank to you.

Just now it is not the right time for me to buy the piano and even if it comes I will try not to bother you with requests for your advice.

I think Yamaha lines are very good and they are a leader of the market. Even not knowing the facts you wrote I would probably go after Yamaha.

So again, thank you very much and let me tell you that I don`t know many people sharing their best experience and knowledge with public like you.

All the best

Yours sincerely

"I am grateful for the good sense you have put together in you book and made available to humanity. Like Mark Shuttleworth and his Ubuntu form of Linux"

Good Morning Graham,

I downloaded your excellent book, carefully read it, then hied myself down to a piano store armed with my Grabo headphones and with several of the pages printed to remind me of some of your suggestions.  I played on several models of the Yamaha and liked the touch, feel and sound of the Clavinova 320. I am next going to try some of the Rolands and lastly the Kawai.. The store of the latter is in Mobile, Alabama, not really that far from our home here in Pensacola, Florida.

I am grateful for the good sense you have put together in you book and made available to humanity. Like Mark Shuttleworth and his Ubuntu form of Linux.

Sincerely,

D.E. Rock, MD

"This is a fantastic resource and will no doubt help me to make the right choice of digital piano"

Hi Graham,
 
I have received your book with thanks. I have to say Graham that this is a fantastic resource and will no doubt help me to make the right choice of digital piano. I have noticed how some of the cheaper models look great but I am sure that all that glitters is not gold.
 
I have always wanted to learn the Piano, and am inspired by the great singer/songwriters especially the likes of Elton John, Billy Joel etc.

One of my favourite songs is Jessie by Joshua Kaddison. That will be my first target once I pick up the basics.
 
I have enormous admiration for all those who have mastered this wonderful instrument and thank you once again for your amazingly helpful website.
 
Best Wishes
 
Jeff

"Very seldom have I come across such an impartial view that has been written so very well"

Graham,

Your book has been very insightful.  My 6 yr old daughter is having lessons and up to now has been practising on a Yamaha 66 key keyboard.  I thought the time was right for us to upgrade to a digital piano ( because of restrictions on space ).  I think Yamaha is the way to go for us and I was thinking of the CLP 340 however after reading your report I think the CLP 330 would be o/k.  Very seldom have I come across such an impartial view that has been written so very well.

Once again Thank you very much,

Best regards,

Greg waterson

"Your book gave me a lot of information I didn't even know that I didn't know!"

I found your book really useful as it gave me a lot of information I didn't even know that I didn't know!

I have suddenly got the urge to learn to play the piano - I bought a Casio keyboard many years ago and I have never done much more than "chopsticks" on it. I have found a piano teacher and I am going to sign up for 10 weeks beginners tuition.

If I stick with it for that long, with a proper amount of practice, I will then treat myself to a proper electric piano.

My goal is to be able to play some Christmas carols, Happy Birthday etc by this time next year.

"You were our compass showing us where to go"

After Reading your book, I can consider myself 'master of digital piano' without knowing how to play. But you were our compass showing to us where we should go to and look at.

Once again, I praise your work. Well done!

"So far, after looking at your ukpianos site I'm convinced by Yamaha"

Hi Graham,
Many thanks for the piano book download. I am looking to purchase my first digital piano and the information for a  novice buyer like myself is invaluable. So far, after looking at your ukpianos site I'm convinced by Yamaha and I am looking at the selling section on your site as well as ebay etc.

Thanks once again, Carry

"Your book contains valuable info re evaluating the various features and characteristics of digital pianos"

Thanks so much Graham for the book. It does contain valuable info re evaluating the various features and characteristics of the digital pianos available. I am considering purchase of either a Yamaha or a Roland (a model of which I currently own) and  at the moment I am leaning toward a Yamaha probably because parts are more easily obtainable.

"Finally a document that is usefull instead of the hundreds that only copy the flyers of the companies that manufacture digital piano's"

Dear Graham,

I have read your articles concerning various digital piano's with interest and pleasure. Finally a document that is usefull instead of the hundreds that only copy the flyers of the companies that manufacture digital piano's. 

Chapeau (as the French say)! Petr

"The book is excellent, clear and concise, answering all my questions"

Graham,

Thank you again for both the book and advice, I think we are going to stick with the keyboard rather than the digital piano, it holds more attraction to our son having all the extra sounds and effects and at least offers some weighting in the keys.

The book is excellent, clear and concise, answering all my questions.

I would like to think that we will purchase a real piano at some point and UK pianos will certainly be the first port of call.

Very best wishes for a happy and successful 2010

"The information help me a lot in choosing the right piano for my daughters"

Dear Graham,

The information about piano that i've got from you is help me a lot in choosing the right piano for my daughters.

Finally I choose the DGX type because it's good enough and most affordable for my financial condition :-). Thanks again for your help.
