UTILIZATION

The feel is quite heavy and although the keys are noisy force.
No problem with the operation (fairly easy to understand).
At MIDI, I did not try to do.
The manual is very well explained with all the detailed functions.
Using fun and simple.

SOUNDS

The sound is not bad, but it's still very synthetic, do not dwell on the sound of it as any digital pianos, nothing beats the sound of a grand piano.

No problem on the sound, it is still very correct and the power of the speakers.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this piano for about 6 years, it has not moved, works perfectly.
This is a great piano for beginners, although prices are (I purchased for about € 2000 nine), there is a good feature in the digital piano. It does not take place, do not go out of tune and blends into the decor of the house. (Available in white and black)

I recommend it for all beginners to start a small piano.
