The surprising Doutreligne MHP-3000: a digital piano that challenges the top models

The Fatar 88 Wooden Grand-Response keyboard of the Doutreligne MHP-3000 is of exceptional quality. The fully wooden keys provide an exceptionally natural and precise touch, similar to what you'd expect from high-end models in the premium range. The well-balanced mechanism allows for fine playing and offers complete control over your touch.

The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-845 is also equipped with wooden keys via the GrandTouch-S keyboard, providing a realistic and pleasant playing feel. The Roland LX5 uses the PHA-50 keyboard, a smart combination of wood and plastic, resulting in a solid and durable feel.

All three of these models – the Doutreligne MHP-3000, Yamaha CLP-845, and Roland LX5 – are equipped with a wooden keyboard that contributes to an authentic playing feel. Thanks to the combination of natural touch, precision, and refined control, the playing comfort closely resembles that of a real acoustic piano.

The Doutreligne MHP-3000, Yamaha CLP-845, and Roland LX5 each offer a range of useful extra features that make playing the piano more enjoyable and versatile. All three come with Bluetooth Audio and Bluetooth MIDI, allowing you to stream music wirelessly and connect your piano to apps for learning, composing, or recording.

Yamaha and Roland provide extra control and learning options through their own apps – Smart Pianist and Roland Piano App. The MHP-3000 doesn't have its own app, but it is fully compatible with universal learning apps like Simply Piano. In terms of sounds, the Roland LX5 offers the largest selection.

Basic features such as recording, metronome, and USB to Host connection are also available on all models, ideal for those who want to analyze their playing or work with music software.

While these extra features certainly add value, the key feel and sound quality remain the most important factors when choosing a digital piano. Each of these models emphasizes different aspects and offers a strong overall experience in its own way.
