The Piano Features Nobody Needs (and Everyone Pays For)
Why do so many piano buyers end up paying more… and getting less?
In this video, Stu Harrison breaks down some of the most common (and costly) piano and keyboard features that lookimpressive on the showroom floor—but do very little to improve your actual playing experience. From flashing lights to hundreds of unused sounds, we’re cutting through the marketing noise to help you spend your money where it actually matters.
If you’re shopping for your first piano, upgrading for your child, or trying to avoid buyer’s remorse, this is a must-watch.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:
Why hundreds of sounds are usually filler—and which sounds actually matter
The truth about light-up keys, labels, and “shortcut” learning features
Why onboard recording features are mostly outdated marketing fluff
How stylish designer cabinets can quietly double the price without improving performance
What features actually create that addictive, inspiring connection to the instrument

Overhyped Piano Features We Break Down:
Hundreds of Sounds
Why most digital pianos only invest in a few core tones—and why that’s what you should care about.
Light-Up Keys & Rote Learning Aids
Why these features don’t build real musicianship and can slow progress long-term.
Onboard Recording
Why modern apps outperform built-in recording on nearly every entry-level and mid-range piano.
Designer Cabinets
When you’re paying for looks instead of sound, feel, and playability.

What You Should Pay For Instead:
A responsive, touch-sensitive action
Rich, complex core piano tones
An instrument that feels good to play and pulls you back to the bench
Sound and touch first—appearance second
Because a beautiful piano that no one wants to play isn’t worth very much.

Why This Video Matters:
Too many players and parents get pulled in by flashy features and marketing language—only to end up with an instrument that doesn’t inspire practice, progress, or joy. This video helps you avoid those traps and make a smarter, more musical decision.
