The hosts of this video break down their rankings of piano brands into the following categories:
- Overall Best
- Best Acoustic
- Best Digital
Overall Best
There are only two piano companies that these hosts have listed in the overall category. They are:
- Kawai
- Yamaha
What qualified these piano companies to rank here is that their array of instrument types — both acoustic, digital, and even hybrid — has a greater range than all others. They also both have options at a multitude of price points. When reading through the other categories, note that both Kawai and Yamaha are considered the best brands in these categories, which is what qualifies them to be Overall Best.
Best Acoustic
It’s worth noting that many of the piano companies listed in this category actually are sub-brands of other companies. For example, Pearl River manufactures pianos under the name Boston, with the same specifications and construction instructions — these are affiliated piano companies. Some of the piano companies mentioned in the video are:
- Steinway
- Pearl River
- Schimmel
- Boston
- Essex
- Shigeru Kawai
Best Digital
There are only two brands in this category. Because of their trailblazing efforts and rich developmental history, both Roland and Casio are considered the best today.
- Roland
- Casio
