Notable Mention

Also great: Mosen 88 fully-weighted keys

The key “feel” is second-to-none in my opinion. They feel fully-weighted instead of the semi weighted of many digital piano. The electronic controls are easy and straight-forward. Very easy leg assembly, not heavy. Triple pedal.

tune up your personal harmony

Tuning forks aren’t just tools for musicians—they’re gentle guides for tuning up your own personal harmony. When struck, each fork produces a pure, steady frequency that helps your mind and body settle into balance. Whether you’re grounding your energy, easing tension, or creating a moment of calm in your day, these vibrations act like a reset button for your inner world. It’s a simple, soothing way to reconnect with yourself and bring everything back into tune.

Here are two sets I recommend:

  1. Crevik 128Hz, 136.1Hz, 256Hz, 384Hz

  2. Melha 128Hz, 256Hz, 512Hz

Finding a good instrument that fits into your budget is important. Here are a few instruments I recommend at different price points.

See the full list: here

Different types of pedal:

  1. foot-switch (I recommend upgrading to a better pedal)

  2. sustain pedal

  3. triple pedal (has all 3 found on acoustic pianos)

Different types of action:

  1. Semi-weighted keys are weighted heavier than most keyboards which have light synthesizer action.

  2. Fully-weighted keys are heavier keys like an acoustic piano.

  3. Casio’s “smart scaled” and Yamaha’s “GHS graded action” are similar. Each refers to the fact that the lower keys are a heavier weight than the higher keys. Yamaha’s GHS is lower end and GH or GH3 is an upgrade.
