Fully-Weighted Digital Pianos from Merriam Pianos

Merriam Pianos offers the widest selection of digital piano models in the GTA.  No other piano dealership offers more models of fully-weighted 88-note digital pianos to try out, side by side, with expert staff who actually know more than the brochure.

We’ve carefully selected digital pianos from Roland, Korg, Casio and our top-selling Kawai digital line, so that parents and students have real options to consider regardless of budget.

Digital pianos have progressed in both durability and musical quality from their origins.  What was once considered a “toy” or an illegitimate musical instrument has become a perfectly viable and acceptable option for parents or students looking for inexpensive alternatives.  

That isn’t to say that digital pianos don’t’ have their musical limitations, but not to the level that most people thought of 10 years ago.  They can be very productive starter pianos for people to begin music lessons on, or even great instruments for more seasoned players who need sound control or smaller physical footprints.

Digital pianos’ musical attributes can be broken down generally into three areas:  

 – How closely the keys physically mimic an acoustic piano key (feel/touch)
 – How accurately the piano’s sensors record the motion of the key (sensitivity)
 – How detailed and dynamic the piano uses that sensor information to create and produce sound (tone)

Generally speaking, more than 80% of a digital piano’s cost is determined by those three considerations.  Other elements such as cabinet, additional features, portable / stationary, have a much lesser impact on price.

    I’m torn between the kawai ce220 and the roland hp 506. What is your opinion on them? I really like the sound and feel of the roland 508 but I like the price of the kawai ce220 and the extra bells.

    Can you provide my your opinion?

    • Stuart says:

      Hi Andy:

      Thanks for your question. The HP506 and the CE220 are both great models. I think which one is the better fit for you all comes down to your priorities. The CE220 is a very strong option for people who consider the touch of the piano to be the most important factor. I would certainly consider the touch of the CE220 to be the best action in the ~$2000 range that I’ve ever felt, and I would put it’s sound/tone quality on par with other instruments in it’s price range. When I compare the touch of the cE220 to the HP, I’d say I still prefer the Kawai, but the Roland has a lot of fans, particularly someone who likes a heavier action and isn’t necessarily coming from a significant acoustic background.

      As for features, I always put those at the bottom of my list of things to consider, simply because almost anything can be easily achieved through inexpensive mobile devices connected to USB midi. Even if I’ve got a basic digital piano with no features whatsoever, with the addition of one little cable I can be sequencing, modelling, using an arranger module, or more…

      Hope this helps!
