digital piano
Digital pianos have many more "digital"-specific features than traditional mechanical pianos. In my country, we refer to digital pianos as "electric pianos". Digital pianos use digital technology (pulse code modulation technology) instead of analog technology, so that it not only achieves realistic imitation of traditional pianos.
It has all the functions of a mechanical piano, but also has a variety of unique tones, storage memory, pitch change, mixing, metronome functions, and has a MIDI interface, headphones (connected and played without causing noise pollution to the surrounding environment, especially suitable for For practitioners), microphone interface, etc., to achieve the combination of traditional piano technology and modern high-tech. Although the digital piano is developed from the modern electronic organ with a history of more than 40 years, it is not an electronic organ.

Introduction
The piano is recognized as the king of musical instruments. In 1711, the world's first modern grand piano was born in Italy. It uses the hammer to hit the strings instead of the plucked strings, which makes the sound of the piano strong and weak. The word Piano in English means "a piano with strong and weak pronunciation".

A traditional mechanical piano consists of a wooden shell, steel frame, strings, soundboard, action, and keyboard. So, what is a digital piano?
Digital pianos have many more "digital"-specific features than traditional mechanical pianos. In my country, we refer to digital pianos as "electric pianos". The digital piano replaces the analog technology with digital technology (pulse code modulation technology), so that it not only realizes the realistic imitation of the traditional piano, but also

It has all the functions of a mechanical piano, but also has a variety of unique tones, storage memory, pitch change, mixing, metronome functions, and has a MIDI interface, headphones (connected and played without causing noise pollution to the surrounding environment, especially suitable for For practitioners), microphone interface, etc., to achieve the combination of traditional piano technology and modern high-tech. Although the digital piano is developed from the modern electronic organ with a history of more than 40 years, it is not an electronic organ.
Because the digital piano is not as simple as "the shell of a mechanical piano wraps the core of an electronic organ", it is essentially different from the electronic organ.
In terms of music education, digital pianos also have incomparable advantages over mechanical pianos. Mechanical piano teaching can only be one-to-one, while digital piano can realize "one-to-ten" or even "one-to-twenty" through connection, which can greatly solve the problem of insufficient teachers in piano education and save education costs. More importantly, the price of digital pianos is only half or even one-eighth of traditional mechanical pianos. It is believed that the large-scale listing of such pianos will help popularize piano and music education in China.

great sound quality
People who don't know a digital piano think it's nothing more than the shell of a mechanical piano, encasing the core of an electronic organ. In fact, it is qualitatively different from the electronic organ. But the level of strength is far less abundant than that of mechanical pianos

The lightest sound of a mechanical piano is 50 decibels, the heaviest sound is 100 decibels, and the sound pressure difference is more than 50 decibels. The sound pressure difference of an electronic piano is only 30 decibels. The digital piano using the most advanced digital technology in digital technology has the lightest sound of 30 decibels, the heaviest sound of 100 decibels, and the sound pressure difference is greater than 70 decibels, surpassing that of mechanical pianos.
Features of Nissan Pianos
At present, the digital pianos designed and manufactured in my country also have some functions and characteristics that traditional mechanical pianos do not have. Its pitch error is less than plus or minus 3 cents. After purchasing this piano, users do not need to ask a professional luthier to tune the piano every year like a mechanical piano; Reverb modulation; it features an external headphone and microphone interface for
digital piano
Practice the piano without affecting the rest of others; it adopts the international general MIDI interface standard and can be used in conjunction with the computer, especially it can be used to build a group teaching piano room. A teacher conducts group teaching and guides students to practice the piano, thereby solving the problems of lack of teachers and high tuition fees in the current music teaching in our country.
Compared with traditional mechanical pianos, digital pianos are cheap and affordable, and they are flexible in appearance and structure, making them suitable for purchase and use by families of different sizes. It can be predicted that with the improvement of people's living standards and the popularization of piano education, digital piano as an industry will develop rapidly.
Features
The digital piano is developed from the modern electronic organ with a history of more than 40 years, but it is qualitatively different from the electronic organ.
The electronic organ does not have the feel and strength of the piano. No matter how hard you use it, whether you play it lightly or hard, the sound is the same. When playing, the sound is not strong or weak. Although the electronic piano using the MF modulation analog technology has initially solved the problem of the sense of force, there are strong and weak sounds, but the level of strength and weakness is far less rich than that of the mechanical piano. Digital piano with the most advanced digital technology in digital technology, the sound pressure difference exceeds that of mechanical steel
digital piano
It can express different strong and weak tones, and can express the ups and downs of emotions and the level of emotions completely according to the player's wishes like a mechanical piano.
True-to-life diatonic and tunic. Since the digital piano replaces the analog technology with digital technology, it solves the problem of sound distortion of the electronic organ, thus realizing the realistic imitation of traditional musical instruments including mechanical pianos. The digital piano is the same as the traditional mechanical piano. The first is the diatonic piano: the 88 keys can sound independently at the same time; the second is the control piano: light and soft sound, heavy sound and heavy sound, long sound with decay-shaped extended sound, step on the pedal, short sound There are also decay-shaped prolongations; then all of its keyboards have standard static resistance changes.
Excellent timbre, stable performance, and some functions and features that traditional mechanical pianos do not have. It can adjust the pitch of the whole piano, with a range of plus or minus 50 cents, which is conducive to the concerted performance of the orchestra; all year round, no matter where in the south, east, and northwest, you can practice the piano without affecting the rest of others. MIDI interface standard, can be used in conjunction with a computer.
More importantly, compared with traditional mechanical pianos, digital pianos are cheap. The price of a digital piano is only 1/2 or even 1/8 of the price of traditional pianos.

Classification
1. There are six types of "electric pianos" (digital pianos) available on the market:
1. Fake "digital pianos", toy pianos, are actually electronic keyboards or toy keyboards used on computers. The price is several hundred yuan. In this category, you won't buy it without me reminding you.
digital piano
2. No-brand digital pianos are actually inferior electronic pianos. At most, the appearance of the piano is added. The feel is the feel of a toy electronic piano, and the timbre is the timbre of a cheap electronic piano. The price is several hundred yuan to three thousand yuan. This category is a bit bluffing, but you can recognize it immediately as long as you play a key yourself, of course, this category must not be bought;
3. Genuine mid-to-low-grade digital piano, with the appearance of a piano, with a strength keyboard (weighted or not), the feel is close to the weight of the piano, but the feeling is different (because there is no action machine), with a piano tone (imported or domestic sound source) , the price is 2000-5000 yuan. There are good ones in this category and you can buy them.
4. The genuine high-end digital piano has the appearance of a piano, a realistic feel, and a high-quality tone. After all, the feel is different from real steel. This type of piano is very good and worth buying.
5. Low-grade digital pianos have the appearance of electronic organs or similar pianos, with poor hand feel and poor timbre, and the price is 4000-8000 yuan. You can't buy this type of piano. The funny thing is that a certain Japanese famous brand electric steel does not have a "sound dampening" function. No matter if you play it short or long, the pronunciation length is the same!
6. Mid-to-high-end digital pianos have the appearance of an electronic organ or a piano. I have never tried the feel, and I have never heard the timbre. The price is generally above 6,000 yuan.
2. If you are considering temporary piano practice, have low requirements on equipment, and need to save investment, then Category 3 and Category 4 are suitable choices. For beginners, the third category (domestic low-end brand) should be the first choice, because it is relatively cost-effective, and its feel and tone can meet the needs of beginners.
Investigation
The third category is the category of "contained treasures", but it is also a category of "mixed fish and dragons", so it is necessary to carefully screen when selecting. Specifically, the following aspects will be examined:
1,
digital piano
Keyboard feel: Electric steel keyboards are generally lighter than real steel keyboards, there is no way. However, some electric steels do not have counterweights at all or are poorly counterweighted, so you cannot buy them. To buy, buy well-weighted. Yinfei's 8812 and 8826 are the two representatives. The 8812's keyboard is lighter and plays like an electronic piano; the 8826's is much heavier, close to real steel. Electric steel at this price generally does not have an analog action structure, so it is impossible to have a response curve of real steel, as long as the weight can meet the requirements.
2. Resolution of the force response: Obviously, the higher the resolution, the more delicate the response, and the more helpful for expressing the detailed force changes. This can only be felt when actually playing, watching commercials is useless. Some low-quality pianos are simply the response of the electronic piano. The difference between the lightest and the heaviest sounds is very small, and they even use charging steel! The pianos that I feel are good are: Yinfei 8826, Zhijia ZDP84M.
3. Tone: There is a lot to pay attention to here. Some pianos can produce more than 100 or even 200 timbres, but what timbres are those? ! Listen to its piano sounds (grand piano, piano1, piano2, etc.), it is simply a soft wavetable for an electronic organ or sound card! Dare to pretend to be a piano? ! So, don't go after the number of sounds, and don't forget that you're buying a digital piano, not an electronic keyboard. Those pianos with only 6, 8, or a dozen tones are often more expensive than those with more than 100 tones! Because it is a real piano sound, a piano sound taken from a grand piano, PCM encoded. The inferior sound source is actually the sound source of the electronic organ, the sound of electronic synthesis.
4. Function: Remember, you get what you pay for. For the same price, I would definitely choose the one with less features. Some fancy features, you are very tempted when you buy them, but after you buy them, you find that they are useless at all. Merchants are not fools, they can't sell you products with more functions, better and cheaper. Therefore, you should not hide your ears and steal the bell and try your luck. You must have a firm belief: buy a product with fewer functions and better quality.
price problem
As we all know, the profit of musical instruments is relatively high, and merchants like to deal with products produced in distant places with opaque prices, so you can't inquire about the price. My conclusion is: a piano with a retail price of 4,000 yuan, the transaction price is about 3,000 yuan, and the ex-factory price is about 2,000 yuan. How about it? startled, right? This is the market, not you and I can control. Just accept the price, there is nothing to negotiate. "Buying and selling" is Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai.

maintainance
(1) The piano should be placed on a hard floor, the placement should be level, and each wheel must be completely on the ground. (2) Since 80% of the piano is made of wood, it should be 8~10cm away from the wall when placed against the wall; placing it against the window will be adversely affected by direct sunlight, humidity and sudden changes in temperature; if you are limited by conditions Place it next to a window, and be sure to hang thick curtains over the window.
(3) The piano should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators and heaters, so as not to damage the external and internal components of the piano, resulting in a decrease in the tone and pitch quality. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid radiation and hot air damage to the piano.
(4) Appropriate temperature and humidity, and good ventilation are the necessary conditions for the best performance and acoustic quality of the piano. In general, the relative humidity is 40~70%; the temperature should be 20~25℃, which is ideal. Some internal components of the piano, such as wood, velvet, felt, etc., are extremely sensitive to the influence of the environment, and can be damaged by the slightest carelessness.
(5) Action parts made of fleece, felt, leather and wood have high precision, and the allowable error is limited to within 1/100 mm. These components are very sensitive to changes in humidity. Too high humidity can cause slow movement of the action, dull sound, rust on metal parts and failure of keys.
(6) The dealer will remind you how to maintain it according to the local climatic conditions. Usually, in cloudy or rainy weather, please be sure to close all the windows of the piano room. Be sure to close the lid after each play. In a dark and humid environment, you can put on the piano cover to prevent moisture in the air from immersing in, but in sunny weather, the piano cover should be dried in time.
digital piano
(7) Please place the piano in a place with good acoustics. If all the sounds in a room are concentrated at one point, it is easy to cause sound lag and echo. For a pleasant, full-bodied sound, it is best to place the piano in a room where the sound is evenly distributed.
(8) Placing heavy objects on the top cover of the piano will cause resonance and produce noise, and the top cover will be deformed. Except for sheet music and metronomes, do not place anything on the top of the piano.
(9) The piano should not be subjected to too much vibration, so as not to cause out-of-tune and parts deviation.
(10) Water should not be immersed in the interior of the piano, otherwise it will cause serious consequences such as rusting of metal parts and deformation of the action machine.
(11) Dust will affect the movement flexibility of the action system and produce noise. Users should diligently use a soft cloth or feather sweep to remove dust from the piano, and use a soft cloth to wipe the piano case, but do not use acetone and methanol to clean the piano. The glossy paint surface should be cleaned with wax liquid. The matte paint surface should be cleaned with ethanol (alcohol), and do not use wax liquid for polishing.
(12) Always pay attention to the cleaning of the interior of the piano to prevent insects and rats, and pay attention to check for termites. Mothballs can be placed in the piano, but do not use insecticides.
(13) Regularly wipe the keyboard with a dry soft cloth. Do not use alcohol-based cleaning agents to prevent the keys from bursting. If there are stains on the keys, it may be wiped off with a soft cloth dipped in a little soapy water, but the casing cannot be wiped in the same way. Pay attention to develop the habit of playing the piano with clean fingers to keep the keyboard clean for a long time. The nails should not be too long to avoid scratching the keys.
(14) In order to maintain the best performance of a good piano, in addition to proper maintenance, it must also be regularly tuned once or twice a year. If it is not adjusted for too long, it will easily cause permanent wear of the parts, or under Sub-tuning affects structure due to increased string tension.
(15) After the piano has been used for two to three years, depending on the degree of internal cleanliness, contact a professional maintenance technician for internal cleaning. Otherwise, the dust in the piano will affect the sound of the piano. Cleaning the dust can also prevent the growth of moths. condition.
(16) The internal structure of the piano is relatively complex, and professional piano technicians must be responsible for the maintenance.
