Playing a gig with the band? With the best stage piano under €1000, this can be entirely possible without costing you a lot of money. Although these entry-level instruments come without some features of the professional class, the quality of essential elements such as sound and keyboard is significantly better than those of some of the cheaper models.
If you are looking for the best stage piano under €1000, you have the choice between two fundamentally different designs: A classic stage piano or a portable piano. Both instruments are of compact design, making them super mobile.
Equipped with built-in speakers, portable pianos are the ideal solution if you are looking for a transportable instrument that can still find its permanent place at home. The selection of sounds and functions of a portable piano are more comparable to a home piano.
Thanks to the built-in speakers, a portable piano is immediately ready to play – no additional amplifier needed: Ideal for band rehearsal or even home use if you don’t have the space for a large digital piano.
A portable piano does not take up much space and manufacturers usually offer optional matching stands, which make the portable instrument then look like a small home piano. Removal from the stand takes just a few steps before it is ready for mobile use again. This makes portable pianos the perfect combination of home piano and stage piano.
Since this price range is part of the entry-level segment, there is a wide range of portable pianos available, as these are tailored to the needs of piano beginners. They offer practice functions such as a metronome, a recorder, and also stored etudes. Stage pianos usually do not include such features, nor do they have built-in speakers.
The focus of a stage piano is clearly on its suitability for live performances: Here, you need a robust case and a sound selection that is suitable for playing in a band. While classical piano pieces perhaps do not reach their full potential when played on these instruments, you get assertive sounds from acoustic pianos, cool electric pianos, rock organ, pads, clavinet, etc. Also, increased emphasis has been put on MIDI functions and editability. With these features, a stage piano is ideal for home studio use as well.
Portable pianos in this price range are intentionally designed to be the cheaper alternative to home pianos. Therefore, you won’t find much more equipment than in a home piano under €1000. Line outputs should be available for use with external sound systems in the rehearsal room or on stage; otherwise, the headphone jack has to serve as an emergency solution with the help of an adapter.
For the optional stands plus a triple pedal unit, you have to plan on paying an extra €150. Even with this additional equipment, the cheapest recommendable models in this class still cost less than €800 in total. It should be noted that manufacturers do not include a keyboard cover with their portable pianos.
