“We changed from our minds from originally wanting a Yamaha, and ordered a Gewa DP300 piano blind”
My wife played piano when she was younger, but digital pianos were a whole new territory for us. We had no idea of what we were looking for. After an extensive search, for advise and looking at different models we came across Graham’s website. This was a game changer – we were able to establish what it would cost to get what we needed and cross reference this with the ratings and other reviews he provides in his guide. We changed from our minds from originally wanting a Yamaha, and ordered a Gewa DP300 piano ‘blind’ so to speak, and waited for the delivery. The advice has born out and we couldn’t be happier with the quality of the Gewa digital piano. The sound and weight are superb. Our four and seven year old beginners are as happy as our more seasoned player. We are also happy about the five year warranty that came with it – providing some peace of mind for such an important family investment.

Questions
“I’m considering renting the Gewa DP300G”
Hi there
I am looking to use the rent-to-buy scheme you have for a Gewa DP300G as listed on your website. I played piano when I was younger and would like to get back into it, so thought this might be a good method of doing so initially to see how I get on! I am particularly concerned with the quality of the keyboard… key touch and the sound. Gewa seem to be highly rated for this. I have previously only considered getting a Yamaha. Not as bothered about bells and whistles as such, just looking to get something as similar as I can to the upright Baldwin I used to play.
Also – I downloaded the digital piano buying guides on your website.
Kind regards

“Are fully weighted keys would be more difficult for my 5 year old daughter?”
Thank you Graham, your guide is most helpful.
I have a few further queries. Now considering Gewa DP300 but wondered if fully weighted keys would be more difficult for my 5 year old daughter? Does this model have at least 64 polyphony and up to what grade would it be suitable for?
Many thanks, Sue
Reply/ Hi Sue
Fully-weighted keys are the same weight as a
real piano. So I recommend this for your
daughter to learn and progress on because
she needs to start off with the correct key weight
from the word go. This way she will learn to play
with the correct technique.
A fully-weighted key touch is not heavy.
And it will not be difficult for her in any way.
The Gewa DP300G has 256 note polyphony.
It is suitable up to grade 8 level, so you will
never need to upgrade it.
Kind regards

“Should I upgrade to the DP340?”
Thanks Graham, I was trying to find out if my piano has support for Bluetooth headset, which it doesn’t I know now. Hence, I was looking at all comparisons and what it would cost to upgrade to the DP340 or another.
For the rest I’m happy. There was one thing with the key speed trying to play trills. But I’ll try to fix with individual key configs or slightly change my playing.
Overall so happy that I did this.
Thanks!
Reply/ Hi Joel
It isn’t usually possible to upgrade a digital
piano on the Rent to Buy programme.
The reason is that the piano we delivered to
you is brand new, and when it comes back
we can only sell it as second hand.
So we lose the difference in price between
the two.
However, to help you out, if you could stretch
up to the UP360G after the 6 month minimum
rental period, then I can offer you a discount of
3 month’s rent towards the price of the UP360G.
I hope that sounds fair and is OK with you?
The UP360G is a much nicer piano than the DP300G
and DP340G. Its key touch is more responsive and
reacts much more like a real piano. It has an extra
dynamic level too. And the sound quality is fuller
and warmer.
The UP360G has a graded hammer action, so each
key is slightly heavier as it ascends. This replicates
very well the action of an acoustic piano.
Just let me know what you would like to do.
Kind regards

“The Steinway sound is incredible with headphones on”
We would like to say, we are very pleased with our GEWA piano, and enjoy it very much.
We would like to purchase it at the end of the 6 months hiring period.
One gripe is that the speakers point downwards to the floor (in our case carpet!), hence the sound is a little muffled.
However the Steinway sound is incredible once you put the headphones on! But i know you get what you pay for.
Thank you and take care.

“Hits a sweet spot in the digital piano universe”
We are really happy with our Gewa DP300G so far, having had it a week. It seems like all the piano we are likely to need for a modest price compared to other machines with similar Howard scores.
We are hobby players who got to about grade six when we were young and our six year old is now learning. The action and sound of the piano (with the exclusive Steinway samples) is certainly a really good simulation the real pianos we have played before. I’m sure you’d notice the gap to a top of the range acoustic grand piano, but what Gewa have achieved for this price is very impressive.
Despite the modest price, the pianos are Made in Germany and the key components are also German, French or Italian.
There are 15 voices and a metronome, so there’s not too much to distract our six year old from the keyboard – he hasn’t discovered the demo mode and we aren’t going to show it to him! The controls for these features could be more intuitive, but the buttons and the very basic display are well made and look as though they will last for years. They also don’t detract from the look of the piano.
This was Graham’s recommendation for our needs and this budget and it really feels we’ve hit a sweet spot in the digital piano universe.

“The sound is amazing”
We all are amazed at the quality of the piano which we bought for the girls to practice on as they learn the piano.
The sound is amazing and the touch only experienced before on very upmarket conventional pianos.
We thoroughly recommend this Gewa piano and the help UK Pianos gave us in selecting it.
