Questions about Digital Pianos

What is 'graded hammer action' and why is it important?

Graded hammer action simulates the heavier feel of lower piano keys and lighter feel of higher keys, creating a more realistic playing experience.

How much polyphony do I need in a digital piano?

Higher polyphony (number of notes that can sound simultaneously) is crucial for complex pieces or layered sounds, avoiding note dropouts.

What are the advantages of a digital piano with a wooden key action?

Wooden key actions provide a more authentic feel and improved responsiveness compared to plastic actions, enhancing the playing experience.
