Bentley Digital Piano Questions

“We have seen a lovely looking Bentley digital piano. Is it a good make?”

We are looking to buy a digital piano for our daughter who is about to take her piano grade one. We have
seen a lovely looking bentley digital piano–but have no idea whether this is a good make or not. It sounds ok to
us. Would you recommend this make?

We saw it in Minns Music POOLE DORSET. Lovely looking digital piano in black ebony cabinet—- retailing at £599
reduced cos ex display model from £800.  Sounds fine to me touch sensitive etc. Our daughter about to take
grade one so we need to get something. The trad pianos we have seen and like the sound from are in the
£800.—£1000  range second hand. This seemed like a good option as the sound seemed ok. Our concern is that
we could not find any inof or reviews of this make anywhere on the web. Minns Music is a branch of i”ntermusic” if
that means anything to you.
Is it safer to go with the yamaha—what would you recommend at this £600 budget? Again many many thanks for your
time. Katie Mansbridge

I tried the Bentley digital piano out recently, but was not impressed.

I really didn’t like the feel of the keys at all. And the sound was not
very realistic…

For around £500-£600 you can get a far better digital piano.

My recommendation is the Yamaha YDP140 (it is not available in
polished ebony though).

You can read more about it here:

My second recommendation is the Classenti CDP1 PE. This piano
is available in polished ebony and sells for under £700. This has a lovely
sound and the touch is very close to a real piano — you will be
much happier owning this piano.
