Hi,

I started learning the piano a year ago (I'm 36). Back then I was not sure if I would continue playing for a long time, so I decided to buy an entry level DP, an Yamaha YDP-S30. I've been very happy with it, but lately I feel more and more frustrated when I go from my school's acoustic Kawai to my humble DP.

So, I'm thinking on upgrading to a better DP. An acoustic is not an option right now (the price is to high and I live in an appartment!). I'm considering buying a CLP-340, as I've read so many good things about it. My question is: do you think I'm going to notice a big difference between the CLP-340 and my YDP-S30? Would this be a good upgrade, or I'd better stick with my YDP-S30 for a while and then go for an acoustic, maybe with a silent system? And what about the CLP-320? Is it any good?

Today I had the opportunity to try a CLP-340 for a while and I felt a big difference in the keyboard! I also get a quote around 1.940€. Is it a good price?

Any help on this topic would be very much appreciated.


Best regards.

The YDP-S30 has Yamaha's entry level action, so you should notice an improvement going to the CLP-340. You don't need to take that big a step in price to get an improvement, you could try something like the P-155 which has an action in between the other two. Since you've got a year under your belt, I'd suggest trying other brands too.
