A digital piano is a modern electronic keyboard instrument designed to replicate the sound and feel of an acoustic piano while offering additional features and benefits. Unlike acoustic pianos, which use hammers and strings to produce sound, digital pianos use sampled recordings of high-quality acoustic piano tones or synthesized sounds to generate sound digitally.

They typically feature weighted or semi-weighted keys that simulate the feel of a traditional piano, as well as built-in speakers for amplification. Digital pianos often include additional features such as headphone outputs, MIDI connectivity, recording capabilities, and various instrument sounds and effects. These versatile instruments are popular among pianists and music enthusiasts for their compact size, affordability, and flexibility in both home and performance settings.
