Are you looking to buy your first electric piano (keyboard) or upgrade your current one? There are 100s of options out there, but we've narrowed them down to the best for every need.

#1 Most Realistic Feeling Digital Piano

The weighted keys of an acoustic piano are hard to replicate in a digital piano, but the does it Kawai CA701. In fact, it has a better feel than many of the grand pianos I've played. It's unreal.

#2 Most Aesthetic Digital Piano

Roland GP-3

Some electric pianos look much better than others. Some are actually flat our beautiful. This baby grand by Roland is simply gorgeous. It's the type of piano someone would buy even if they don't play, just to showcase as an art piece. 

It's minimalistic and doesn't have all the buttons and lights that other digital pianos have, but that is intentional.

#4 Best Digital Piano Under $1,500

Looking for something that sounds and looks great but doesn't break the bank? That piano is the Yamaha Arius YDP-145.

This runs at about $1299. 

#5 Best Digital Piano Under $1,000

The Yamaha P125ABLB is the best digital piano you can find with legs, weighted keys and for under $1,000. 

It's a slight step down from the Arius YDP-145, but not my much. 

#6 Best Digital Piano Under $500

The Yamaha P71 is one of the most purchased digital pianos in the world, and for good reason. The keys are weighted and have a much better feel than others in this price range. You will need to purchase a stand for it (as it typical with pianos in this price range) or have a desk to rest it on.

My Personal Dream Digital Piano

I have the Roland GP-3 and don't get me wrong, I love it, but if I could shell out a whopping $18,000 for the Yamaha Clavinova CVP-909, I would.

Although it's beautiful, its a true players piano. It has tons of cool tech features and settings to tinker with endlessly. The LCD screen
