All the best information about Yamaha Digital Keyboards

Digital pianos are a very similar playing experience to an acoustic piano. Although a digital piano uses digitally recorded, or sampled, sounds, rather than a combination of hammers and strings, it can still offer a highly realistic playing feel.The main component of a digital piano is a keyboard with a weighted key action that contains sensors that detect the velocity with which you hit the keys. When you strike piano keys, the loudness of the sound produced is effected by how hard you hit the keys. As the piano is based on samples, a wider range of sounds, such as organs and harpsichords, can be realistically recreated within the piano.What are the benefits of a digital piano?
