"really awesome."

Feature:
okay so it doesnt have 300 functions but who needs crappy electric guitar samples and cheap drum set functions on their keyboard? the other functions it does have are great--i particularly like the strings, electric piano 1, and vibraphone, and have used them all in my band's music. all of them have the same warmth produced in the piano sound. the split function also allows using one function for part of the piano and a second function for the other, and you can choose where the transition point is--i like his because i can play bass or strings lines and piano lines at the same time. also, it has a nice library of 30 or so awesome classical songs. i dont really use the rhythms much but they work. the full standard 88 keys is definitely a plus for someone like me also. my only gripe in this section is that the speakers could use a little more volume, but you can always hook it up to a PA system, keyboard amp, or guitar amp on clean.

Quality:
its plastic but sturdy. not too heavy or bulky. i never really had a problem with the build.

Value:
definitely, definitely the best keyboard you're gonna get under 800 dollars.

Desirability:
well its not ugly but ive never thought of keyboards to have sex appeal.

Sound:
the sound is incredible. there's enough punch and impact in the notes but yet it has a full, rich sound unmatched by most keyboards. most keyboards i've come across that were under 800 dollars sounded almost like you were plucking the keys, and was very choppy in sound but this one has warmth. damper pedal also works well with it. it's very responsive, the sound is great by itself whether using headphones or speakers, and works well with any genre from classical to R&B to rock. the only problem ive had is that it could use a little more reverb but other than that this thing is amazing, a lot better sounding than my real piano downstairs.

Ease of Use:
the weighting on the keys is realistic and comfortable. i had 4 years of experience on regular pianos before purchasing this keyboard and my fingers didnt have to adjust to pressure at all. its not too bulky either--you can have 88 keys anywhere.

Support:
never had to deal with it

Overall:
i definitely am not even thinking about getting anything else. this keyboard is awesome and at an affordable price. it's my favorite piece of musical equipment, and i've got tons. BUY IT!
