Digital Pianos have become a popular choice for music teachers and pianists of all levels because of their convenient functions, portability and almost zero regular maintenance costs. No longer are digital pianos just good as a stop-gap entry -level instrument for beginners. Manufacturers have made huge leaps forwards in terms of the sound and the keyboard action which means they now offer a viable alternative to a traditional acoustic piano. But which one is the best choice for your needs?

We've put together some collections of the best digital pianos divided up into price categories as well as features to help you navigate your way through a huge choice of instruments that are available on the market today. Here in the UK, there are four main players (excuse the pun!) in the digital piano arena; Yamaha, Kawai, Roland and Casio. All manufacturers have their own unique piano voice and keyboard touch, so if you already play, we would always advise you to pop along to one of our showrooms so you can actrually 'feel' and compare the instruments for yourself.

If you're willing to spend a little more money than the cost of an entry-level model digital piano, you'll certainly notice a big difference in the sound quality and feel of the keyboard. Between the £1000 & £2500 price points, a full-featured control panel with a handy digital display becomes standard, and some pianos, such as the Kawai CA49 include a key action with longer wooden keys and balance pins which helps to give a more natural 'feel' to the keyboard. There are many pianos in this price category, but we've narrfowed it down to our favourite six instruments in the list below.
