I love this keyboard! It feels like the grand pianos at my school. It is KIND OF portable (lugging around 38 lbs + a gig bag that's like 13 lbs for a total of 51 lbs is no joke :) However, the weight is no reason not to get it - just get a gig bag that has rollers and you're set. I play at different events and functions, in small group bible studies and other gatherings. The sound is UNPARALLELED! It filled a whole room with about 60 students as we worshiped God. The speakers are in front, and you also have the sound boost (although I don't use it much because the sound is loud enough already). The keys are heavy and feel like a real keyboard. The USB port just made me smile. The Choir sound is the BEST - because I leader worship when I play, I just have the layer of Piano+Choir - it makes everything I play sound beautiful! if you want to get a keyboard, you should GET IT! Beginners + Professionals alike.

Musical Background:

Been playing for about a year. Advanced Beginner. Play the piano. Learning the guitar.

Musical Style:

Christian, Worship, Hip Hop
