Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
As i am a beginner on the piano i would expect this to last me a very long time.
Sound
The sound of this piano is truly fantastic, the grand piano is stunning only topped by the crisp clear sound of the rock piano. Play,s midi,s downloaded from the internet for you to practice only takes seconds to load them.
Features
Comes with 140kb of space for you to add midi,s of which you can probably fit 3 small ones, BUT it has a smartmedia memory card socket. The cards for it are about 20 pounds or $40 to buy so you can fit about 200 midi,s on it.
Ease of Use
very easy to use weighted keys fell just like a piano with 3 levels of touch you can adjust these.
Quality
quality of the piano is fantastic and presented in a very sturdy cabinet.
Value
excellent value for money worth more in my opinion.
Manufacturer Support
