I've decided to buy a digital piano instead or 'piano', mostly because of space problem. i wanted something compact, but my electronic keyboard keys and sounds doesn't give me the satisfaction.

When i went searching around for YAMAHA digital piano, there are so many different variety from 2k to 5k. I wonder what's the big difference. I don't actually use those special features available as i only like the sound of piano, not bass or strings n etc....

Any advise?

I doesn't want to buy a 5k digital piano end up wasting all the features because i'm not utilizing it. And also not buying a 2k one and then regret about it also... Totally in dilemma.

best way is to just visit yamaha at kelana jaya and try all the ones there.

i'm still a beginner. don't really know how to test them and dunno how to judge. when i ask the shop assistant, they keep promoting me the one that is most expensive. and when i ask the difference, they also not sure.

if not mistaken, the most recommended cheap digital piano is the yamaha P-70, around RM2.5k.

P60,70,85 is 99% identical
they will give you good yamaha quality, good piano sounds, and a bit lighter touch than P140.

I will still recommend Korg SP250 as their pricing in Malaysia is very very good. SP250 is US$899 retail, but selling around RM2800 or lower in KL. SP250's touch is heavier.

May I know is there any shop that sells second hand digital pianos and what is the price range for a second hand Yamaha P60, P70 and Casio CDP100 and PX100. Thanks.

agreed. And don't worry if you can't tell the difference, I haven't heard of a bad Yamaha piano.. yet =P Sometimes it's just how you 'click' with your piano, if you feel comfortable playing it and you like how it sounds then that's usually a good sign.
