Very nice starter piano for the hobbyist however keys are very close together. Great for my grandson but not so much for my fat fingers. Still enjoying it though

I’m not a beginner piano player, but I bought this digital piano because I wanted a piano that would never need tuning, and one that I can play silently through headphones, as well as through speakers. I just received my beautiful piano yesterday! It was very well-packed to keep it from getting damaged inside the box. Even the key cover and the keys themselves all came taped to prevent any damage to the instrument.The piano itself is 100 pounds. I could not even drag it from the porch to inside my house, so I called my friend to help me. He also helped me with assembly. As the other reviews state, assembly is pretty simple and straightforward, with illustrations to show the parts in each step of assembly. And as other reviewers have said, it requires two people to put it together. I know that I could not have done it myself. Especially the keyboard section is heavy, and it requires one person to hold it in place while the other fastens the screws into place. The piano came with all the necessary screws and dowels for assembly. At first, we were a bit confused about where to find the little dowels that hold the legs in place. The picture showed separate dowels, and they were not in the plastic bag with the other parts. It turns out that the dowels were already pre-installed into the legs. It took us about 45 minutes to completely assemble the piano.Once put together, it is an impressive piece of furniture. My friend did not expect to see anything this magnificent! I removed the tape securing the keyboard and keys, and a bit of the glue (blue in color) remained on the key cover and keys, but a bit of scrubbing with a cotton pad and rubbing alcohol removed that residue completely. We turned it on, and I tried it. This piano sounds like a real acoustic piano! The keys feel like an acoustic piano. It definitely helps to have fully weighted keys. The pedals work perfectly. Note that there is a cord running from the pedal area to the keyboard area. Most of the pictures on this page don’t show that, but you can see the cord on my photos. This cord allows the pedals to work. The power cord for the piano is in the back.The piano comes with a MIDI cord which I haven’t tried yet, and an adapter for a headphone set, so you can use ear buds with a smaller connection by simply plugging the earbud cord into the adapter. I did just order a set of over the ear headphones, though, that are meant for a digital piano, and I think those will have better sound quality and will work better to listen to the music. You can play the piano silently with the headphone jack. They give you two headphone jacks, so a teacher can listen in to what the student is playing, or two people can play at the same time. Speakers are already built into the piano, and with the volume control, you can have the sound loud or soft. The sustain pedal works and sounds just like an acoustic piano. In the plastic bag with the instructions, I also got a cute little music clip that will come in handy for books that are not spiral bound, and need to be held open with a clip.This piano really exceeded my expectations! When my husband came home yesterday evening, he was amazed to see this gorgeous piano! He had expected to see a regular digital piano, with maybe only 61 keys, for this price. We all went out to eat together to celebrate the new piano!If you are thinking of getting a digital piano, this is a great one to buy! Right out of the box, it sounds wonderful through the speakers! I plan to read the instructions to see how to change it to different sounds like harpsichord, grands piano, etc. With the MIDI cord, I should even be able to record it directly into my computer. For now, though, I am thrilled with my beautiful new piano, and I think it is going to give me years of pleasure!

I got this piano about three weeks ago and been using it quite often. I'd say overall it's worthing its price.There are several sounds you can choose from, including grand piano, harpsichord and strings. I think I like the grand piano1, it sounds very much alike a real piano.However it's hard for one person to assemble this piano(especially if you were a woman), you would need another person to help you with this.You can split the keyboard into two segments in the same range so that you can play along with someone you are teaching, and you can layer sounds on top of each other or transpose the whole piano. if you really want to be quiet you can plug 2 pairs of headphones so that only you can hear. You can also use this piano as a MIDI controller on your computer via USB.In addition there's also a metronome function you can use but I still recommend you get a real one.In conclusion, it's a good digital piano and really worthy in this price range.
