Kohler Digital Piano

Kohler digital pianos, like some of their competitors, feature portable, upright and grand models. Pedal effects and keyboard "temperament" controls all effectively reproduce the versatility and color of an acoustic piano. However, if you are seriously considering an upright or grand piano, consider acoustic models in addition to the digital models offered by Kohler.



Kohler digital upright pianos come in a basic design (the KD-20, KD-30), and in a more traditional upright look (KD-50F, KD-50T). The KD-30 is a high-performance instrument best suited to school or church use, whereas the KD-20, for less money, has all of the functions needed for home piano use.

Kohler portable pianos, like portable pianos in general, are less desirable than upright models unless you just don't have the space. The Kohler KD-10 model is a fine beginner's portable piano but is not as user friendly as other brands. In addition to a stand, the KD-10 requires an amplifier and speakers. Having to add gadgets to a portable piano not only decreases the ease of its portability, but distracts young students as they learn the basics of piano playing.

Shop carefully when buying a digital piano. It is easy to be distracted by the number of voices and gadgets that come with some digital models. For a beginning pianist the most important features are the weight and action of the keyboard and the quality of the sound produced. Compare each digital piano you consider with an acoustic model in order to evaluate its performance.
