If you’re like me and you remember your first piano lessons at the age of 10. Maybe you’ve just started college or have recently graduated. You have your first apartment away from home, but you miss the music. Your life in the next few years is going to be hectic. Your living quarters are going to be small.
Maybe you’ve tried one of your friend electric keyboards or synthesizers. It sounded “ok” but not great. The grand piano setting sounds more like a video game than a Steinway. The ragtime piano setting sounds like a cell phone ring! But what’s really missing is the weighted keyboard. Piano keys that push back with a little bit of resistence.
In a real piano, this weight gives you feedback about your music and helps you shape the tone. It’s a tactile experience that no portable keyboard can give you. Or can it?
Weighted keyboards
Have you heard of weighted keyboards? Digital pianos with weighted key have been around for a few years now. They give you the best of both worlds, the ease of owning a portable digital piano, with the feedback and joy of having the keys talk back to your fingers!
