Becker white digital pianos

Non-standard color schemes in the design of a musical instrument not only make it an interior decoration, but also have a beneficial effect on the creative process itself. Speaking about the snow-white body of the electronic piano, I recall the color music system of A.N. Scriabin, in which the white color is given to the bright and joyful C major.

Pros and Cons of Becker Digital Musical Instruments

Against the background of the objective prevailing advantages of the brand’s products, among the minuses one can only mention the cost of tools, and even then it does not exceed the price tag of world manufacturers of similar quality.

Differences and comparison with competitors

Even at the initial stage of its development, the workshop of Jacob Becker had an advanced division of labor for that time, optimizing the production process as much as possible. Becker also for the first time created a cross-national distribution of production stages in a factory. So, only employees of German blood interacted with the accuracy of sound and mechanisms , the Finns interacted with logging, and the Austrians performed the final processing. The master thus showed the extraordinary abilities of a talented leader, because such an innovation has become truly strategic.

If we compare the Becker piano with German manufacturers, then the price of the product will become an indisputable advantage, with common equals. Compared to Asian and American brands, Becker digital pianos outperform most competing companies in terms of adapting the sound of the instruments as closely as possible to the acoustic version.
