Thanks, Jenny.

Reply/ Hi Jenny

Your daughter sounds quite talented to have taught herself to play tunes!
Personally, I don’t like Gem pianos.

When buying a digital piano the two most important things are the touch,
and the sound. If the piano has lots of different instrument sounds, looks
really nice, is compact, etc. then these are nice added bonuses.

Gem, in my opinion, doesn’t have a nice enough sound and the touch is
not nearly as good as a Yamaha or a Roland.

I know Yamaha and Roland digital pianos are more expensive than Gem,
but paying a little extra is well worth it.

If you need to sell your digital piano later on, then the Yamaha or Roland
would have a much better re-sale value than the Gem.

You can read an article I wrote about digital pianos and what I think
about them here: www.ukpianos.co.uk/digital-pianos-which-brand-should-i-buy

We do offer a rent to buy programme – if you have time, you may want
to come down to our shop in Enfield – otherwise, there are quite a few
used digital pianos on sale in our ‘Piano Market’. You can check them
