Digital pianos have some advantages such as being able to make other keyboard sounds (such as the organ, harpsichord, etc.) and background rhythm ( e.g. drum sounds) to accompany your playing, and the ability to record your performance. You do not need to tune digital pianos and they are lighter and easier to move than traditional acoustic pianos. 3, record 1, English, - digital%20piano
