Questions and Answers
Hi
I’m current restoring a GPD 100 Digital Baby Grand which I’ve owned for around 14 years. It was produced under the Chase brand when it was purchased but the same model is now made by Gear4Music. The white keys have gone extremely yellow over this time so I’m trying to source replacements.
Would you be able to help identify the right contact, or would one of your recommended repair specialists know?
Kind regards
Reply/ Hi Laura
Contacting Gear4Music would probably be your best bet.
Alternatively, try the Medeli Company in Hong Kong.
They might be able to supply you with keys.

Hi Graham
Have read with interest your guide to buying a digital piano v helpful thanks!
I am in the market for a piano at the moment and came across chase pianos by chance.
They describe their keys as “fully weighted” buy they are online so have not been
able to play one. They are, however, cheap!
I was wondering if you have come across them and know if their keys really are
fully weighted or “super heavy weighted” as you described in your guide?
Any information would be greatly appreciated as I am on a budget but don’t want
to buy anything rubbish.
Thanks and best wishes
Malcolm
Reply/ If your budget is limited then Chase offer a range
to suit you.
Chase are OK as a starter piano, but if you reach the
higher piano grades then you’ll probably want to
part exchange it for a Yamaha Clavinova or similar.

I wonder if you can help me. I have a Chase CDP 216 piano which my daughter passed to us.
However, she has mislaid the owner’s manual. Do you have a copy I could purchase?
I have fiddled with these controls (see picture) but some guidance on what they do and
how to use them would be very helpful.
Thank you
Reply/ Dear David
The most likely place to find a manual is at Chase Direct.
They are the importers of this instrument.
Kind regards
Graham

Questions on the Chase Digital Piano Make
My 13 year old son has asked for a digital piano for Christmas and as a non-playing parent could I please ask for your advice/guidance.
He has passed his Grade 2 and is currently working towards Grade 3 exam.
Our budget is around £350 which I appreciate in piano terms isn’t a great deal.
We have been looking at the following:
Casio PX700
Chase Digital C8826
Would it be possible for you to advise which would be the better option. If you are of the opinion that there is a better digital around for the price we are looking to pay your comments would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Lynne Beeston
Hi Lynne
With a budget of £350 the Casio PX110 is really your
best option….
… Besides, the PX700 has been discontinued and the
new model (PX720) is selling for around the £600+ mark.
I haven’t yet seen the Chase digital pianos, so cannot comment on them.

Graham,
What is your opinion of Chase Pianos?
Regards, David
Hi David
The Chase digital pianos are very cheap, which is usually an indication that something is amiss.
I recommend the following digital pianos:
Casio PX110 www.ukpianos.co.uk/casio-px110
Good points: cheap.
Not so good points: The sound is a little on the thin side, and the touch is too light and spongy.
Classenti CDP1 wwwukpianos.co.uk/classenti-cdp1
Good points: Excellent sound and touch; feels just like a real piano.
Not so good points: Doesn’t have many additional instrument sounds or features.
Yamaha YDP131 www.ukpianos.co.uk/yamaha-ydp131
Good points: Good sound and realistic touch.
Not so good points: The speakers are quite small and the sound is not as full as the more expensive Yamahas.
