Is the Thoman DP30 any good?

Hi Graham

I am looking to buy a digital piano for my son who has just passed his grade 2. I found the Thomann DP30 on their site for £347.96. I know this is really cheap but i am on a very tight budget. Do you know if this is any good. There is a sound sample which sounds ok to me. It is just for him to practice on really so it doesn't have to be the best one around  but i do want something that feels and sounds like a real piano.I would really like to get the Yamaha YDP 140 but it is out of my price range.

Many thanks
Lorraine

Reply/ Hi Lorraine

I'm not a fan of Thomann digital pianos.
They’re cheap, I know, but your son really needs
something that will take him through all the
piano grades...

The sound quality is important, but not as
important as the key touch.

The key touch weight, and response, should be
as close to a real piano as possible.

My recommendation is the Classenti CDP1.

You can read more about it here:
http://www.ukpianos.co.uk/classenti-cdp1.html

The CDP1 will be good enough to take your
son up to the higher grades.

Yours pianistically,
Graham Howard
