Hi

Happy New Year.
My son is going to DHS too. Looking forward to it.
Sharing this method which I did for the metal buttons. Hope it'll work n avoid the ring to rust n stain the inner portion of shirt due to perspiration.

Hmmm…don’t think I’d wanna turn this thread into a firing one.


Anyway, good used DPs are not diificult to find. I reiterate my advice to those who are getting a DP to look into the combination of good quality piano sample, good feel of keyboard and powerful amplification system.

Any yes, do choose wisely because the resale value not be good due to the mental model that DPs will depreciate in value drastically. As such, if the intention is to buy and resell later, then expect lowballers. No offence to anyone.

The problem with digital piano is that after the warranty period is over you better pray hard that electronics inside will not spoil. For acoustic piano, any damaged part can be replaced easily and very seldom complete overhaul is required unless the piano is in really bad shape.

This is why digital piano loses its value very fast after the warranty period is over.[/quote]I still ask this question, \"How do you arrive at this conclusion?\"

In the past, DPs lose its value because of steep technological advancement. However, in recent years, the sampling technology has become so defined and accurate that what buyers should look out for now is the overall quality of the DP and how that creates a great playing experience.

As with any electronic equipment, parts will subject to deterioration and materials used are subjected to wear and tear just like an acoustic piano. That is why anyone who is keen in getting a DP should also consider a credible brand with good after sales service. FYI, my kid's 3 year old DP is still wonderfully maintained with zero breakdown.

...Digital piano loses it's value after 3 years. So, technically, the resale will be 1/3 off every year...

Where did you get that information?

I reiterate this advice for people scouting for a good digital piano, regardless of its age:- combination of good key touch, realistic piano sample and powerful amplification system. Go try any Yamaha CLP 280/380/480 with volume set at 1-2 o'clock position alongside an acoustic piano to know what that means .

Anyone looking for a good digital piano should have a checklist that includes the COMBINATION of good key touch, good piano sample and a good amplification system.


My kid has been using a Yamaha CLP280 with wooden keys for a year now and loving it…and his dad loves it even more ! Anyway, we are looking at selling it coz my hubby wants to get a synthesizer workstation to introduce my kid to music recording which he is keen at doing now.

If anyone is interested to view/buy it, do PM me your contact so that my hubby can liaise with you
