“Almost unnerving how this compact digital piano can produce the beautiful, natural sound of a concert grand”

The Gewa DP345 is the perfect piano for anyone looking for a superior piano sound and feel in a compact, practical digital unit. It has a beautiful, rich tone (which never needs tuning!) and the touch is similar to a high-end Bosendorfer or Steinway. In fact, if you are very familiar with these premium pianos, then it’s almost unnerving how this compact digital piano can produce the beautiful, natural sound of a concert grand. You soon get used to it! I have had guests, including professional musicians, play it and comment on how lovely it is, both acoustically and in keyboard action. The digital features mean I can record and play back a few tracks, change the volume, use the integrated metronome, all very intuitively. I’m sure my neighbours are grateful that I use headphones when practising and I love that none of the sound quality is lost.

Before coming across UK Pianos, I had looked at other digital pianos and was unhappy with the offering — they were either far out of my price bracket or sounded tinny and felt plastic. With Graham Howard’s guide to digital pianos, I felt I was making an informed choice that would suit my needs. Service throughout the process has been faultless — the piano arrived on time and was set up very quickly. It looks handsome and unobtrusive in our spare room/office but equally it’s just about possible to move it yourself, which is not something you can do with an upright. My children are not learning piano but their music practice has benefitted enormously from having a piano at home. I can accompany them, they can find guide notes themselves and they can even noodle around with a friend with no fear of having to retune (and with headphones, of course). It’s become a wonderful addition to our household and something we miss when we go on holiday. If price were no object, I would have bought a £12k Yamaha Silent but I don’t feel in the least short changed having purchased this for a fraction of that. You know you’re onto something when a pianist friend scrutinises the label and makes a mental note to check out the Gewa brand for themselves. The rent-to-buy scheme meant I had nothing to lose. I thoroughly recommend UK Pianos!

Further/ Hi Graham,

I hope this finds you well on this sunny day.

Terry came this morning and sorted the pedal issue. I think it’s actually now even more sensitive than when you and your lovely son first came and set it up. It really is a terrific piano, perfect for us. Thank you for the after sales service too — an example of how things should be done!

Very happy to continue to recommend you to all our friends. A shame we aren’t in North London but at least you deliver everywhere.

Warm wishes, Bonnie

 

Questions

 

“Equivalent to the Classenti CDP2?”

Hi Graham Howard,

Many thanks for sending through the link to the digital piano guide. It has been fascinating to read and the first time I have revisited it for 12 years when I went on to buy a Classenti CDP2 from you. We have been very happy with it and have since had kids (9 and 7) who are now learning to play. I spoke to you a few weeks ago as the middle active of the Classenti has now lost its touch sensitivity which was first noticed by my daughter’s piano teacher. I understand that it would not be cost effective to get out an engineer as the likely needed parts are no longer made by Classenti. And so to the crux of the matter, a suitable replacement… You had suggested to me that a new equivalent purchase today would be the Broadway BW1 or the Gewa DP300G (I note the receiver second hand one for the same price as the new BW1). What are the differences between these 2 stable mates? I also note that you have a nearly new DP340G on sale for £1299 (so not too dissimilar to the newer DP345 for £1399). In terms of new pianos, is the DP345 worth the extra £400 over the BW1? I note that you have a second have Yamaha CLP330 for £1299. This is quite an old model so was wondering why its priced where it is and how it compares to the newer Broadway and Gewas.
I have also some local second hand options (an 8 year old, “little used” Yamaha CVP601 for £1250) and a “very good condition” Roland HPi 7F for £899).
I would be grateful for your advice about the above and look forward to hearing your expert advice.

Reply/ Hi Chris

You’re welcome, hope the guide was helpful.

As you are aware, parts are no longer available
for the old Classenti CDP2 and the BW1 and DP300G
are the closest equivalents, albeit with improved
sound and key touch. There’s little to choose between
them really… the Gewa has a warmer tone, but playability
wise they are just as good as each other.

The Gewa DP340G is a step up from the Gewa DP300G.
It has an extra speaker outlet which gives it a superior
sound projection, making the tone more natural and clean.
It also has more resonance and depth of tone.

We have one brand new one in stock in black.
Other colours are out of stock.

The DP345 is a new model that isn’t any better than
the DP340G. The difference in price is because of
its app connectivity. That’s all really.
We also have this in stock, if that’s what you need.

The CVP601 and Roland HPi-7F are both really old
models… so I don’t advise taking a chance on either
of these… and so is the Yamaha CLP330. This piano
is priced as it is because of its really good condition
and the fact that it’s a polished ebony finish, which
always costs a lot more when new.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards

“Why Do UK Pianos’ Prices Appear More Expensive?”

Most price quotes online are from retailers based in Germany.
Unfortunately, we’re not able to match their prices.

You might want to consider the following though.
If you do decide to buy from us, then you get:

A 5 year UK home warranty
Dealers outside the UK don’t offer a UK warranty.
If the piano develops a fault, then you’d have
to send it back to Germany to get it repaired.

The UK Pianos guarantee is for 5 years and covers
all parts, labour and unlimited visits to your home
if anything needs fixing.

A UK plug
We provide all Gewa pianos with a 3-pin UK adapter.
German sellers provide a 2-pin adapter because
the Gewa pianos they sell are made for the
German market.

Buying from outside the UK has the following disadvantages:

VAT, Haulage and customs charges:
You’ll be charged an extra fee for haulage if you buy from
outside the UK. There’s also a customs charge and VAT to
pay after the piano has been delivered to you.
This is sent separately by HMRC. We pay this on every
piano we import from Germany (it’s about £80 for
the customs fee plus 20% VAT).

Exchange rate:
I’ve had customers inform me that the price they
paid for a piano from European sites was more than
the price quoted on their website – often
considerably more. This is due to the EUR/GBP
exchange rate at the time of order.

No insurance:
The piano will not be insured whilst in transit
from Germany.

I do understand if you’re shopping around
for the best price. But I think that our offer
is more valuable because of the advantages
and peace of mind, Graham Howard, UK Pianos
