One of our top picks! - The Kawai ES8 - This model is very special in our opinion because it utilizes Kawai's famous grand piano super sound chip inside which is the identical sound chip being used in their top-of-the-line $8000 home digital piano.

The Casio Celviano AP650 is a very popular home digital furniture cabinet piano - This one is Casio's best home digital piano for under $2000 and it has and does everything that most people want who are looking for impressive stereo sampled piano sound with 256-note polyphony along with useful educational & fun features, especially as compared to other furniture cabinet model or brands under $2000. A full featured model with an attractive furniture cabinet, tilt-open lid sound expansion, quick responsive hammer key action, big, bold piano sound with lots of dynamic tonal range, built-in piano educational features along with many fun bells & whistles for the family, this model is definitely one that gives a Big Bang for the Buck in so many ways. Casio may not have the same "piano name" prestige as a Kawai, Yamaha, or Steinway, etc, but don't let that fool you. Casio knows what they're doing and it shows in this instrument. In fact, the popularity and low price of this model for what it does has caused this model to be nearly sold out according to Casio. This may or may not be the perfect piano for you but to know for sure, please check out my review at the following link and let me know what you think: Casio AP650 Review

Yamaha CSP150 & CSP170 Smart Pianos - In cooperation with Apple Company - Yamaha just came out with an all new class of digital pianos for 2018 which is the first of their kind that offer high quality digital pianos with a unique control panel design that looks like a piano but with only 2 buttons and one volume control on the pianos themselves. This minimalistic cabinet design might fool you into thinking the pianos don't do much, but you would be very wrong if that's what you thought. The big surprise is that Yamaha piano company in cooperation with the Apple company has designed a new comprehensive "Smart Pianist" app for iOS product (iPad & iPhone) that puts the power of music and music education at your fingertips...literally. There has never been a digital piano like this before and when you play one of these pianos like I have, you'll be amazed by what you can do with it and they are a lot less money than you might think for all of this new music technology.

The Casio-Bechstein Grand Hybrid GP500. A very unique Grand Piano keyboard with full length grand piano wood keys along with actual moving "hammers" placed into an beautiful cabinet that really simulates the acoustic grand piano playing experience. The famous German grand piano company called Bechstein has created a 1st ever grand action that is in a digital piano allowing for a hybrid piano playing experience that I personally recommend. Along with an impressive array of digital features controlled from a minimalistic control panel, USB connectivity, and expressive sampled piano sounds from Steinway, Bosendorfer, and Bechstein grand pianos, this is a very impressive instrument. Please read my detailed review of the new Grand Hybrid models at the following link: Casio-Bechstein Grand Hybrid Review

Dexibell is a digital piano company located in Italy and they are famous in Europe for producing all Italian designed and made high quality, high definition state-of-the-art products in unique furniture cabinets unlike what any other major digital piano company is offering right now in any price range. The Dexibell company has years of design and production experience in their local factory and has just started importing their special "VIVO" products into the US and I have played and examined them. You may be surprised to learn that although the Dexibell is a name you have probably never heard of, they stand along names like Ferrari & Lamborghini in offering what I call "powerful piano sports cars" that can impress almost anyone looking for a digital piano with a unique, contemporary cabinet offered in multiple finishes and colors including black, white, red, etc, along with a smooth running powerful piano sound "engine and transmission" on the inside able to produce acoustic piano sounds and orchestra & pop instrument sound authenticity not heard before in their lower price range. I recommend you read my review of these new pianos and then let me know what you think. 👍 Dexibell VIVO digital piano review

Roland has a smaller contemporary model called the DP603 digital piano and they are quite popular. Available in 3 cabinet color finishes, the discount selling price ranges are anywhere from $2400 to $3200. The DP603 borrows its sound, feature technology, and key action from its higher priced big brothers the HP and LX home piano series. Roland also produces a lower priced RP501R piano selling for $1500US. However, the DP603 piano playing experience and technology is at a much higher level and more authentic than the lower priced Roland model. I would suggest to invest your hard earned money into the DP603 if you are interested in a Roland digital piano. The difference between the RP and DP models is noticeable. Is the Roland DP603 better than the other brands and models listed here? Yes and no as there are definitely other great choices in this price range too. Take a look at my DP603 review at the following link and let me know what you think? Roland DP603 Review

The Kawai KDP110 - If you are looking for a smaller, lighter, nice looking digital piano under $1200 that focuses primarily on giving you an impressive and enjoyable piano playing experience while not having too many extra "bells & whistles" on it, then we recommend the new Kawai KDP110 as a good choice. This piano model is for people who want a solid responsive piano weighted key action, dynamic stereo piano tonal range with lots of expression, authentic damper-sustain pedaling with half-damper feature, and ability to make you sound great with its full sounding built-in stereo speaker system. The KDP110 may be a great choice for you and/or your family in this lower price range ($1199 internet discount price) and it looks attractive with its simulated dark rosewood finish and has a factory warranty of 3 years. The Kawai KDP110 also comes with a comfortable matching padded bench. Check it out at the following link: Kawai KDP110 Review

The new 2018 model Yamaha CLP645 - A brand new upgraded Clavinova model with noticeably more authentic piano sound and sustained tones along with wood keys that move nicely and an intuitive user interface with many impressive digital features. With prices starting at $3499US discount internet price in a variety of attractive satin finishes, this piano looks very attractive in any room. For just a slightly higher price you can also order one in a beautiful high polished ebony finish as well. If you want a more attractive cabinet with a full classic piano sound and have the budget to purchase an instrument like this, then I recommend it here in our "best buy" list for a more advanced digital piano in a slightly higher price range that's great for beginner students on up to advanced pianists along with pro players.

Casio AP470 Celviano Home Digital Piano - New 2018 model piano that sounds impressive in a nicely designed traditional cabinet that looks great, sounds beautiful, and works like a piano. It's minimalistic appearance will blend in with any home along with being available in 3 cabinet colors: matte brown walnut, matte white, or matte black. This is an instrument that focuses squarely on being a piano but with a few frills but not overloaded with bells & whistles you may not want.  After playing this new model many times I recommend it for families in a lower price range under $1500 but who want a quality piano with smooth playing piano key action, resonate acoustic piano sound, and responsive pedaling that a beginner through a more advanced player can appreciate. It also includes a matching height-adjustable bench and a very long 5 year parts & labor factory warranty all for a low $1499 internet discount price.

Korg G1 Air home contemporary compact digital piano - Korg is in the top 5 most respected Japanese digital piano companies today and is well known for processional stage pianos and keyboards but not as well known in the recent past for furniture cabinet home digital pianos. However, all that may be changing with the advent of their newest "home style" digital piano for around $1500 that competes head on with the other guys and in some ways the G1 Air is superior to the competition in this price range and even in the higher price ranges. With very impressive and proprietary piano key action, big stereo grand piano sound, and long sustain pedaling response, I believe you'll be quite surprised at how good this newer model sounds and plays and the "big bang for the buck" you can get out of it. If you don't know about this newer Korg piano or much about the their company, please read my detailed review to learn more, you'll be glad you did: Korg G1 Air Review

FACTORY CLOSEOUT LIQUIDATION - NOW $1999! - We have been told that the Samick Piano Company US Factory Warehouse in Nashville, TN has announced that it is no longer going to produce upright style digital pianos and will only be carrying their digital grand piano models. Therefore because of this change, the Samick factory is closing out their popular NEO upright digital piano while supplies last. Their polished Ebony NEO  normally retails for $4399US in factory authorized US stores and typically sells at discount for about $4000 plus tax. But right now while supplies last (which are very limited) 1st come 1st served, the factory closeout price is 50% off  normal store discount price of $4000 which brings it down to a final price of just $1999 and no sales tax! In my opinion that is a phenomenal deal assuming you would want this piano for the way it looks and for what it can do. This model has an elegant polished ebony upright style cabinet and comes with matching polished ebony bench, nice stereo piano sound, expressive key action, and unique hybrid wood style piano soundboard. Go to the following link to read my review of the Samick Ebony NEO digital upright piano for detailed info and let me know what you think: Samick Ebony NEO Digital Piano Review

*PERSONAL REQUEST -  I would appreciate it if you could read my special report concerning my grandson, Dylan and he is a big reason why I spend so much time doing this blog and providing people just like you (world-wide) the best possible and most trusted on-line content about digital pianos there is. Dylan suffers from some severe mental, physical, and social dysfunction from his battle with childhood Leukemia. He was fortunate enough to have beat the Leukemia itself through an early process of having chemo, radiation, and then finally a full cord-blood transplant which saved his life. However the outcome of all that treatment was that the chemo and radiation left Dylan in a state of heartbreaking dysfunction in so many ways and continues to this day. Dylan will likely never be a "normal" person and although he is a wonderful, smiley child a lot of the time,  he behaves like he has a form of autism, but in fact he has what is known as "chemo-brain" which is a severe and permanent dysfunction of the brain and the neurons that control his body and behavior. I am asking anyone who feels so inclined to read my short story of my grandson Dylan at the following link and pray for him if you will. Thank you! Dylan's story
