    Questions

    I’d like to have the stand with three pedals. Although is that wooden stand with pedals foldable?

    So you mean the speaker/sounds also work without power in? Even better!

    Do you mind provide the details of the size of keyboard and stand (W/L/H) and also the size of the delivery pack?

    And how do we do the next process? Hopefully we can get it delivered before bank holiday next week!

    Kind regards
    Michelle

    Reply/ Hi Michelle

    The wooden stand is not foldable.
    But it only attaches with 4 screws, so it’s east
    to store away or transport.

    The piano needs to be plugged into a socket
    to work. It comes with an adapter included.

    Here is the size of the piano.

    Length: 131.5cm
    Depth: 33.7cm
    Height: 13cm

    I don’t have the dimensions of the stand,
    but the length and depth will be almost
    the same as the piano.

    Packaging sizes:

    Broadway AB1
    146 x 43 x 23.5

    Broadway AB1 wooden stand
    161.5 x 39.5 x 11.5

    I would like to enquire about setting up a rental. I think, due to the stands etc, the one I’d be interested in is the Broadway AB1 portable 88 key. I wouldn’t need a stand, it will go on a table.

    I’m aware it has Bluetooth, but what is the Bluetooth for? Connection to other things or connecting Bluetooth headphones for example?

    Does it also have a headphone socket? does it record? Does it have an aux in function?

    I already play piano, but haven’t been practising for a long while, just need something good to practise on. I had a Korg B2 prior to this just as a point of reference for you.

    What else can you tell me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Reply/ Hi Kane

    The Broadway AB1 doesn’t have Bluetooth.

    Bluetooth is used to connect up to online apps
    without having to connect a USB cable.

    The Broadway AB1 has 2 x headphone sockets.

    Yes, it can record.

    It has Line in and Line out ports.

    The Broadway AB1 has full-weighted keys.
    The old Korg B2 has only weighted keys, so the
    Broadway feels closer to playing a real piano.

    Hi again Graham,

    Thank you for your kind reply – the Broadway EZ-102 does look like a good instrument.

    I have a general question about key actions, as this is still confusing me.
    In your “bible” you identify five weightings:

    Light-weighted
    Semi-weighted
    Weighted
    Medium-weighted
    Fully-weighted

    I believe (correct me if I’m wrong) that these represent different levels of springs and weights in the keys (as opposed to the unweighted MIDI controller that I have, which is spring-loaded and unweighted)

    I get confused as to where “hammer action” comes in. I had almost concluded that Fully Weighted = Hammer Action but then I took a look at some “portable” digital pianos. The Yamaha P-125, which you rated as Medium Weighted, also has their Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) action.

    So, is Hammer Action something that can apply to ANY weighted action, or only certain ones?

    To add to the confusion, I have also read other online articles and they often only refer to Semi-Weighted and Hammer Action and seem to use the imprecise term “Weighted” variously for either of these.

    I mentioned the Yamaha P-125 above. This is because I am also considering whether a portable digital piano would be more suitable for my small flat. That would allow me more flexibility about where to locate it, and some (e.g. the Broadway AB1, which you give a good mention also have available a base unit, should I subsequently want to make it into more of a “furniture” piano).

    Taking the AB1 as an example of my question above about key actions; on UKPianos, the AB1 is described as “fully weighted” but makes no mention of hammer action. Is it hammer action?

    Best regards

    Jeremy

    Reply/ Hi Jeremy

    A hammer action usually has a small hammer
    located at the back of each key.
    This is supposed to give it a weightier and
    more realistic key feel, but it doesn’t always
    achieve that.

    What’s more important is the key weighting,
    i.e. ‘fully-weighted’.
    I don’t find the keyboards that only have a
    ‘weighted’ key touch heavy enough to resemble
    a real piano.

    The Broadway AB1 doesn’t have a hammer action,
    but it is fully-weighted and feels close to
    the action of an acoustic piano.
    This is the piano I recommend for you if you
    would like something with an authentic feel.

    Kind regards

    Hi Graham

    I have bought a couple of digital pianos from you in the past, most recently a Roland, a couple of years ago on behalf of my church.

    I am now looking for one on behalf of my daughter who is an accomplished and serious pianist (ABRSM diploma), but has moved into a new apartment in Croydon and has limited space. She is very keen to have a good quality instrument to play on, and because of the space restrictions (and sound carrying to other flats) it has to be a digital.

    She has seen a Gear4Music DP7 on another site, but I am a little doubtful about its sound and touch quality.

    Do you have anything similar in size that you could recommend please, that doesn’t compromise on sound quality or touch? I was in Enfield yesterday morning and had hoped to call in to the shop.

    With regards
    Jill

    Reply/ Hi Jill

    The Gear4Music DP7 isn’t a piano I recommend
    for such an advance level of playing.
    It doesn’t score high enough for key touch,
    key weight and response, and your daughter
    will struggle to get what she wants out of it.

    I recommend the Broadway AB1

    This has a fully-weighted key touch that has
    a nice, firm feel with good response so it feels
    close to playing a real piano. It also has a warm,
    natural tone. There’s nothing better at its price point.

    You can get a wooden stand to go with it,
    or a fold-away type stand.

    We have the Broadway AB1 on display in
    our Enfield shop. I am there every Saturday
    if you would like to come and see it.

    Yours pianistically

    Graham Howard

      Review by Alice Mazzola, Brighton – 8th January 2021

      I rented and finally bought this piano at the beginning of lockdown and I love it. I was heavily involved in music at school and haven’t owned a piano since (now 33 years old) and it was the perfect entry-level investment to get back into it (and to remind myself how to read music!).

      The weighted keys combined with the stand with pedal mean that you can get a surprising amount of expression when you play, and it was great that I could adjust the volume or use headphones because we live in a top floor flat and need to be considerate of our neighbours. I generally only use the grand piano setting but I imagine the other keyboard-like sound settings would be fun for young learners. The built in metronome is pretty handy too.

      Because it is relatively compact, you still get the full 88 keyboard but the piano doesn’t dominate the space in a given room. It was also really easy to assemble when it arrived, and we are about to move house but we don’t have the hassle of moving a regular upright piano. I would highly recommend for people like me who just want to get back into playing as a hobby, or for first time learners.

      Review by Alan Giles, Enfield – 29th November 2021

      We’ve had the Broadway piano for over a year now and still love it – it has all the benefits of a classic one (weighted keys, nice sound) while having the extra digital benefits of different instrument settings, the ability to record and play back, but best of all volume control and the options of earphones!
