88 keys, hammers mcanismes trsraliste my opinion.
A lot of sound. There is good and less good Obviously. The piano sounds are good trs, even if we reconnatre that the progression of rock piano treble tends to be too fast (that being said, playing with the brilliance, there are ways to fix that). A lot of choice in GM2 sounds that bring the piano playability supplmentaires apprciables done everything. The sounds of organ and Rhodes are also quite good gnral.

UTILIZATION

Touch is tip-top nickel. In any case it suits me perfectly, I have not encountered as practitioner. As mentioned Previous notice, I doubt that the race of note is the depth of a real piano, but even when there is not a big diffrence.

The configuration is very simple. I ram a little beginners to find out how to save presets history be in the right config in concert with a touch of a button, but it's actually quite simple (for those that have int drought, I put the march forward - who is in the manual, but hey, I pass several times without seeing ct - on the forum).

As for MIDI, I have not had reason to try.

The manual is quite well done. Nothing to say this.

SOUNDS

While the sound is pure bliss! A piano (grand piano) is simply amazing, I'm still same bluff After months of use. With the amplification intgre is dj trs good, but by connecting the amplification of bte drinking is the vamp so that's good!

In Manir gnrale, the sounds are of good quality trs. Small BMOL: the guitar sounds that are not much and the sounds of flute, in short not the most important I think.

Touch is good trs, trs the sensitivity goes well and you get to express everything you want in terms of its style and mood. Trs good rendering this level.
I do not really mind about aftertouch, as the sounds that use it are not my prfres (guitar, scat, etc.)..

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over 8 months and always with the same pleasure.
J'apprcie its look nice and trs class, its sounds good trs, the relative ease with which it can make its presets to play concert (too bad, unfortunately the number of presets is a little right). Vritable only regret: his weight! 25 + kg and 5 kg of the cover, has us lugging 30 kg in my stairs once a week (round trip) to rpter, but if the quality is the price, my back will not mind too much! O)

I would do without a doubt the same choice. I hsit a little time with the RD-300 SX that I think is still an excellent choice also, but I wanted to have an amplifier to play piano numrique home without burden myself d a bulky external amplification.

In short, j'enlve point for weight and for a small lack of solutions presets, but it's really cranky for a bit ...
