    Hi, I'm trying to buy a digital piano for the piano practice
    cuz I don't have room enough for the real piano in my house
    but I'm still very passionate about playing the piano.

    So just try to buy a digital one instead of the real upright piano.
    Would you recommend which one is very similar to
    the real piano sound between 700~900euros goods?
    Thank you so much!

    Get a roland, the cheapest one is about 1100 i think. But you can get other ones around your price in maybe waltons or somewhere, or even the sound shop in drogheda. The way things are going these days alot of them are very good, you really need to try them out yourslef and see whats comfortable to play on.

    Make sure you go around and try lots of them. Ignore all the sounds and gadgets and gizmos that come with these electronic things, and concentrate on the feel of the keys and the functionality of the pedals. The keys should be well weighted and the pedals should behave like the real things.

    Sounds simple, but it can be hard to get in the budget you're talking about (though not impossible).

    I'd agree with Roland as a good starting point.

    Thanks for the good tips.:) But..actually,
    I don't know where to go for buying the digital pianos in Ireland.
    I'm living in the North sides of Dublin.
    Are there any good shops for digital pianos?
    Can I get the addresses for those shops in the north sides?


    And what price do you recommend for the nice one?
    I've searched on internet and the Roland ones are quite expensive.

    Thank you so much!:)

    I found one,ROLAND HP-204 ELA looks very nice but very expensive.:(
    If I purchase the Roland one, then I want to get this one.
    What do you think of this model?

    Should be a very good piano. Here's a place you can buy it online:

    I have a Yamaha digital piano similar to this one and it sounds great:

    Here's the clavinova website: http://clavinova.yamaha-europe.com/uk/index1.html

    Thanks for your hard working but unfortunately, I'm not allowed to use my credit card over 800 euros. So I don't think I'm able to buy this on internet. Is there any other way to buy this on internet or can I get real street address for the digital piano shop near NOrth sides of Dublin please?

    Oh I found your reply just now. Unfortunately, I already picked the brand Roland HP 201. Yeah I heard Yamaha Clavinova is pretty good but it's too late now.:( :D
