“Cheaper YDP162 or recommended HP503?”

Dear Graham
Thank you for your helpful guide. We are stuck between a Yamaha YDP 162 and whether it worth getting a slightly more expensive one (as a friend has, not sure of model  number) or the Roland HP503 (as recommended and also seen ).

Our 7 year old has just started keyboard and obviously it’s not clear how far he will progress over the years. I used to play the piano up to grade 5 level as a teenager and my husband is keen for me to restart! I help my other son with his violin in a very basic tuning way.

We probably don’t need to spend masses and masses however I can’t but help think we need a few more gadgets, although my husband rightfully says they could distract our son from practising! Also we have been told that the Roland HP503 has more superior tone and simulated piano string option, but how important are these elements for us?

Any advice regarding these models would be most welcome.

Many thanks.

Reply/ Hi Katie

The YDP162 would be OK for now.
But if your son progresses to a high level, then
you’d need to change it for something with
more dynamic levels and a superior key touch.

The Roland HP503 would take him much further.
It is recommended right up to the highest piano
grade.

Seeing as you reached a good standard in the past,
you’d prefer the sound of the Roland pianos.
They’re sampled on a Steinway concert grand.
So you get lovely, deep, resonant tones.

Yours pianistically,

Graham Howard
