  • Top Picks from NAMM: Pianos, Keyboards & Recording

    Posted on February 11, 2013 by John Ebata

    NAMM Show Top 3 Hot Items: Pianos
    Premium Products: Yamaha CVP609

    The new Clavinova series from Yamaha comes with much improved sounds and greater expression on the individual instruments so the easy play orchestration is realistic. Actual wave recordings, of say a Brazilian percussion section playing together, are used in the easy play accompaniments for astonishing realism.

  • Will a Digital Piano Suffice for my Little Pianist?

    Posted on February 22, 2011 by Cosmo Music

    Question - 'I currently have my children using a digital piano. It has 88 notes and has what they call weighted keys. How long can I use this? My teacher is saying I should get an acoustic piano.'
    Answer - Your question is a very common question from parents with children learning to play piano. Since every child’s practice amount and habits are different, every child’s piano playing progress moves at different rates. On average most piano teachers recommend after about one year the need for a real acoustic piano. The best piano teachers say you really need an acoustic [...]  Read more

  • Digital Pianos vs Acoustic Pianos

    Posted on February 8, 2011 by Cosmo Music

    Should I buy a digital or acoustic piano?
    This is the number one question asked by parents starting their children in lessons. Cosmo Music is fortunate to be one of the few stores selling many brands of both digital and acoustic pianos so here is the unbiased answer.
    The better piano teachers all recommend that if you take piano lessons on a real acoustic piano then your everyday practice is best on a real acoustic piano. The price range of digitals overlaps many acoustic pianos. The best way to tell the difference is to listen to similar priced instruments, a digital piano [...]  Read more

  • Digital and Acoustic Piano Warranties

    Posted on February 8, 2011 by Cosmo Music

    Why are there different warranty lengths on digital pianos? Some are only a year and some are 5 years.
    Warranty comparison within one brand name is a good reflection of the level of quality the manufacturer has put into the instrument and the products expected life cycle. For instance Yamaha sells many 88-note weighted digital piano models with some of the best warranties in the music industry. Entry-priced models have a two year warranty while premium priced models have a 5 year warranty. The less expensive products contain more plastic and less wood. Casing structure of the lesser models are meant [...]  Read more

  • Yamaha Modus

    Posted on June 13, 2010 by Terry Yau

    When I first saw the Yamaha Modus F11 Digital Piano, it’s modern, attractive cabinet design really caught my eye. Then I started playing on it - I couldn’t believe the beautiful piano sound coming out of the speakers! It’s just like listening to a real acoustic piano, thanks to the Advanced Wave Memory Dynamic Stereo Sampling. Also, the Natural Wood Keyboard uses real-wood keys and the touch and feel – heavy in the low end and light in the higher register – made me fell as if I were playing on a real acoustic piano. What makes this piano really [...]  Read more
