Digital pianos can be designed to closely mimic the sound and feel of acoustic pianos. High-quality digital pianos use sophisticated sampling technology to record sounds from acoustic pianos and then play them back when keys are pressed on the digital instrument. Some models even incorporate multiple microphone recordings to capture the nuances of various parts of the acoustic piano’s tonal range.

In addition to the authentic sound, high-end digital pianos also feature hammer mechanism action to emulate the feel of an acoustic piano, and they usually come with various adjustable settings for the player to customize the sound to their liking.
