It has 88 keys and they are weighted with hammer action, so it really feels like playing a real piano.

| WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
This piano is perfect for people that require practice pianos often, as it’s very comfortable to play. Beginners and intermediate players should definitely consider this piano, and even professionals that perhaps mostly use an acoustic piano but want to be able to turn the volume down once in a while might like this one. |
This piano is best for beginners or possibly players who only play once in a while and just want something that works ok but don’t require anything extraordinary. It has hammer action weighted keys, so it’s pretty nice to play. The best thing is probably that it comes with a 5-year warranty, which is unusually good. |
