Is it (still) worth repairing my digital piano?

Unlike acoustic pianos, digital pianos have a much shorter lifespan. While acoustic pianos last 40 to 60 years on average, a digital piano is usually limited to 15 to 20 years. A well-maintained, better quality digital piano will last an average of 8 to 15 years, depending on how intensively it is played. It is inevitable that wear and tear will occur in certain areas. On the other hand, we sometimes see digital pianos that are 25 to 30 years old that still work perfectly.

Moreover, the technology of digital pianos is developing very quickly. New models are constantly coming out with improvements and more features. As a result, digital pianos lose their value much faster than acoustic pianos.

Thus, taking into account the lifespan and rapid developmentof digital piano technology, you should always ask yourself whether it is still worthwhile to have complex repairs done. Because very often the cost of the repair is too high compared to the value of the instrument. So sometimes it is much more interesting to make the switch to a new digital piano. On the basis of the form Digital piano repair, we will gladly give you the right advice about whether or not to repair your instrument.
