what brand piano do have

@pathetic_pianist,
You have got a fabulous piano! I just checked out the picture of your piano model on google. It is huge, and it has the pedals too. Wonderful.

BTW, I am a novice at learning piano. What's the difference between a piano and a keyboard?

Hello Sridhar,
A digital piano will have sampled sounds of an actual grand piano, which sounds a little more realistic than synthesized sound of a keyboard. But the more important features of a digital piano according to me are presence of 88 weighted keys which are an absolute must when you decide to tread in deeper waters piano playing and also to improve your action. A keyboard usually has 61 keys and they are not weighted.
Anyways, I started with a keyboard just like you and graduated to piano only when I was definite that this hobby is here to stay :-)
And since you say you have just started learning, allow me the privilege to say, congrats and enjoy the amazing roller coaster experience that is to come :-)

Thanks a lot for your wishes pathetic_pianist! I've started to love piano lessons more than ever after I joined this forum. Very encouraging and lively users like you here.

BTW, I'm feeling a bit guilty to address you as pathetic_pianist. Why did you choose such a username? :-)

I always tended towards the Yamaha until I played a Kawai. Love the sound, touch, response. Perfect in my opinion - as near to a Steinway as I can get.

I agree pianochris. I also have a kawai (baby grand) which has been and is a wonderful instrument, even though it is now 18 years old.

I have a digital piano from Roland.

Roland aren't bad - I used to have a couple of synths when I was doing studio and session work. In regards to their synths, I think that had the best touch and attack (including the timbre of sounds).

I have a Casio PX-720. Someday I'd love to have a real honest-to-goodness piano, but for now this isn't a bad one for learning.

I've got a Roland digital piano, I forgot what's the model is called but it's really good. I will post the model name some other time.

I have a Yamaha DGX-620 but I am planning to buy an upright piano. I think I will buy a Boston (designed by Steinway) or a Schimmel. Yamaha pianos sounds too 'metalic', I prefer a more 'romantic' sound.

Planning to get a Yamaha P85 or P95 digital piano, they are practicably the same, minimal differences. But I'm also still searching for a used acoustic piano. Prices are kind of high, but I rather take a little longer and buy an acoustic piano than running out to buy a digital piano just yet.

I bought my daughter a Young Chang which she used for about 9 years. I have been using it and will continue on it until she moves out and takes it with her. When that happens, I'll probably look at a Yamaha.

I had a casio LK80 keyboard , now I have bought a yamaha PSR 900, a beautiful machine , lots on it , all the different intruments .
a wonderful sound . a very professional machine
