Introduction
Here is our brand new list of the best digital pianos under $3,000. This list is focused on either portable or stationary digital pianos, with no synths, and is confined to instruments I have personal experience playing. All recommendations are based on my own personal experience.
Casio
PX-S7000
Purists might want to ignore aesthetics when talking about an instrument’s appeal, but the PX-S7000 looks really cool; the proportions and lines of the entire package, the stand, the instrument, the sturdy construction, and the choice of colour. As a piece of art, this really caught people’s attention and even made it into the Rob report.
As a musical instrument, and particularly for people focused on contemporary repertoire, this instrument is exceptional. The S7000 uses a nice compact key action which is great for space but not necessarily the best option for high-end classical players. The interface is intuitive and provides interesting ways to navigate and select the various acoustic and electric pianos.
The Casio Music Space app makes navigating the instrument much easier and is highly recommended.
Kawai
CN Series
Both instruments in the CN series make this list due to their proximity in musical pedigree and price point. They both include the RHIII triple sensor and escapement action, 40 watts of speaker amplification, multiple acoustic piano models rendered through the Harmonic Imaging engine that allows many editing options, and Bluetooth audio and MIDI.
The 301 has more onboard sounds than the 201, as well as two upward-facing tweeters with 360-degree diffusers. This is a significant sonic improvement over the CN39, and probably the best full-spectrum sonic acoustic playing experience of any piano on this list.
Roland
HP704
This HP model resembles an LX because of the inclusion of the PHA-50 action, an increase in amplification, and the addition of two more speakers. While the 704 may not have the same bass punch as a Kawai CN301, the detail and subtleness of the mids and upper-mids are exquisite.
The HP704 also includes the typical connectivity options including Bluetooth MIDI and audio, discrete line outs, and the most elegant cabinetry for a full-size home digital piano of any manufacturer.
Yamaha
CLP-735
Compared to the CLP-725, the 735 has an increase in the power and size of the speakers, three times the number of onboard sounds, a more robust processing engine, a more robust suite of resonance engines, a slightly taller cabinet, and an improved interface. While it’s equipped with a Bosendorfer sample set, the CFX sample really brings the instrument to life with lots of dynamism and top-end colour.
Honourable Mentions
Two honourable mentions include Yamaha’s YC-88 and Roland’s Fantom-08. These are honourable mentions because they don’t have built-in speakers and are considered synth stage pianos; however, many players who are pianists are using these instruments in the professional space because of their great sound and how fun they are to use.
The YC-88 has throwback aesthetics, look, and feel in terms of its user interface and a robust onboard action.
With Roland’s Fantom-08, getting 80% of a full Fantom for 50% of the price blows my mind. That’s why I do most of my gigging on it.
