As a piano dealer, one of the most common questions we receive is “How do I buy a good piano for a beginner?” Do a quick search online, and you’ll find the same question holds true.
Because when you’re new to an industry, starting up a new hobby, you want to learn what you can before investing in the right equipment. Buying something you’ll outgrow quickly is never a good tactic. 
And in there lies the problem. If you purchase a good digital piano as a beginner, how long will it last? Will you outgrow the digital piano in just a few short months?
That could impact your budget big time. Which is why it may be necessary to add more questions as you search for the right piano. Instead of just asking:
- What’s the best digital piano to buy for a beginner?
Follow it up with:
- What the best digital piano that will allow me to grow from a beginner to an intermediate or advanced piano player too?
The difference between pianos will provide you with more opportunity not only for playability, but also for sound and function.
People transition to higher digital piano levels because they have progressed into further understanding of music. They’ve moved beyond basic note letters, chords and compositions and most likely have more general knowledge of music theory. More advanced pianos have a wider range of rhythms and tones, along with more functionality and connectivity options for other platforms.
By asking the question early in your search process, you can quickly learn what items make the biggest difference. It can also help you choose when to upgrade your requirements to choose a digital piano that can accommodate many of your needs. Possibly for years to come.
