UTILIZATION

The touch keyboard is semi-weighted that the closer to a real piano go. I acquired this piano when I began and I was fine. The manual can be downloaded from the internet even if the basic functions are pretty simple.

SOUNDS

I have not really used all the available sounds since I wanted primarily play classical. However, different sounds are pretty well made (especially the piano) and enjoyable (violin, vocals).

OVERALL OPINION

I use the piano for 7 years and yet he has not aged at all, the sound is always the même.C'était my first piano. Comparing with real pianos on which I played during my auditions and it is of course less efficient but the price / quality ratio is good to very good for a digital piano.
