I have had many expensive, top electric piano keyboards before, such as the Roland V piano ($7,000) and the Yamaha CP1 ($5,000). We will also cover this topic in my review. Since this is just a MIDI keyboard we’ll also need piano samplings to produce sound. What we have here is actually something like an acoustic instrument with real hammers inside, ultimately making the instrument feel much more like a real piano. This is actually just a MIDI controler but what makes this model so special, other than its clean design, are its keys. My Kawai VPC1, which stands for ”Virtual Piano Controler”. Now let’s take a look at the instrument and here it is.

Digital instruments are much more affordable.You can easily transport them to your gigs.Now let’s quickly go over the advantages of digital pianos: Electric pianos are usually quite unattractive.

(Later in this review I will reveal my secret on how to make any digital piano sound much more organic and alive.) These instruments may sound okay with headphones but when you connect your electric instrument to speakers you will be undoubtedly disappointed every time.

The sound produced by digital pianos is quite poor.

You simple don’t have the control with electric pianos that you get with acoustic instruments.

They just don’t feel like the real thing.

If you are anything like me, then you probably have a strong dislike for digitals pianos for a number of reasons.
