Feel free to ask anything else about this piano, I am happy to help if I know the answer.
Overall this instrument is full of wonderful features, beautiful sounds and realistic action (very close to an acoustic piano). Definitely recommend to beginners, intermediate and advanced players! A great alternative for those, who cannot have an acoustic piano or looking for a portable keyboard. Yet, keep in mind, it is quite heavy. So, not for everyday gigging, I would say, but depends on your complexion and access to a car of course. Please, keep in mind, this piano will not fit in the trunk or a backseat of a regular car, will need to fold one of the passenger seats, FYI.
