How we ranked these digital pianos

Every pick ranks in Amazon's best-seller list for its category and has a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

  • Weighted / hammer action weight 3

Buying advice: digital piano for MIDI

Count the keys and check the action

A full piano keyboard has 88 keys, and the Melentro, Egerget, NOVATAGE, GOLDRIFF and Ktaxon picks give 88 keys. The action is how the keys respond under your fingers: semi-weighted keys and fully weighted hammer keys each give a different resistance, so read the action in the specs before you choose. The Melentro and Egerget picks give semi-weighted keys, while the NOVATAGE pick gives fully weighted hammer keys and the GOLDRIFF pick gives hammer action keys.

Match the MIDI connection to your setup

USB-MIDI carries MIDI between the piano and a computer or app over a USB cable, and Bluetooth MIDI does the same without a cable. The Melentro, Egerget, NOVATAGE, GOLDRIFF and Ktaxon picks give USB-MIDI, and the Melentro, Egerget, GOLDRIFF and Ktaxon picks also give Bluetooth. Check if your computer or app takes USB-MIDI, Bluetooth MIDI or both before you choose, and confirm the cable you need is in the box.

Look at the stand, pedals and extras

A stand and pedals change how the piano sits in a room and how you play it. The Melentro kit gives a detachable X-stand and a sustain pedal, the Egerget kit gives a double-X stand and a sustain pedal, the NOVATAGE kit gives a U-stand and a three-pedal unit, and the GOLDRIFF kit gives a furniture stand and a triple pedal unit. Compare the kit contents against the stand and pedals you already own before you buy.
