This is an older digital piano from 2009. It has a fully-weighted hammer action keys and several instruments. It's great as a starter piano for learning to play, or as a MIDI controller for composing music using a DAW. I've used it with my laptop to create original compositions on FL Studio. The action on the keyboard remains competitive when compared to newer pianos under $1,000. The onboard speakers are not the best. The piano sounds better with a pair of quality headphones. WHY SHOULD YOU CONSIDER BUYING THIS PIANO? 1. It's affordable and gently used. Perfect for those on a budget who are new to digital pianos. 2. It has a MIDI USB port for connecting to a computer. You can use VST instruments to get even better sounds out of the keyboard. 3. It has [2] 3mm headphone jacks, for both student and teacher to connect to the piano. 4. The weighted keys are quite good, even in 2024. 5. It comes with a stand, which tend to go for over $100 on their own. WHY SHOULD YOU CONSIDER BUYING A DIFFERENT PIANO? 1. You have an unlimited budget and are willing to spend over $1,000 on a digital piano. 2. You want something with newer technologies like bluetooth and a smartphone app. This piano has been very loyal to me. It has been very durable and reliable, and sounds great when connected to a computer. The onboard speakers leave a lot to be desired, but you can connect your own speakers and make the output sound better. This is a great starter piano and MIDI controller. We can meet halfway at a police station parking lot or a public library. ____________________________________ BELOW IS THE 2009 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER The Leading Line of Digital Pianos just got grander.
