does this piano have a chip of rhythm? And do all the pianos of this type have it? Or only the new ones?

Not sure what you mean by "chip of rhythm", but it has a host of percussive sounds, drum kits, and a style mode in which rhythmic accompaniments can be set to play automatically behind your melody lines and chord progressions.

250 different "sounds" or instruments, but it excels at the piano sound. I am not crazy about the others. It has 128 notes of polyphony, which is good, but somewhere around 200 would be ideal for advanced players if you don't want some sustained notes to drop out during complex pieces. As far as key noise, there is a little, but not noticeable unless you have on headphones, and others are just listening to "key noise". Not really a problem. Overall I give it a 7 of 10, but if I were to do it again, would probably spend more on a more advanced keyboard without all the superfluous bells and whistles.

Ours has been fine but hasn't been used too much. I'd call Yamaha and/or an instrument repair shop to see about fixing what likely is a minor internal electrical issue (loose wire, burnt chip, cheap stuff). It has the most genuine and beautiful piano action I, and my mom's best friend concert pianist of 50 years, ever have experienced on an electric. It's the action from a real acoustic Yamaha piano that uses electric amplification. About as pure as it gets. Take it in and fix it - cost depending of course - it's too fine an instrument to trash. Good luck, Steve

No I have never noticed it to be extra loud. Sounds like any piano I have played.

Hi Rachel... it's touch sensitive so the repetitions depend on striking with the same pressure each time. For the money, I've been really happy with this practice piano. Hope this answers your question. Ron

It does come with a sustain pedal, but it's a cheap thing. I bought the optional three pedal unit that attaches to the piano for about $70 and am happy with it. It has one usb port.

This is not a electronic piano. It's just the keyboard part of that. You have to connect it with your computer and use a software and the audio system of computer to hear the sound.

Yes it does. This is how it handles MIDI and connections to the computer. It is underneath the piano.

Hi, there is a button and it has to be magic becuase I just ask my 6yr old and 8yr old to change it back to piano and they do..... Go figure.

No, the keys don't go up and down automatically. The demos (or one of the classical pieces) are not mere audio recordings, though. During play, the stored data does actually play the instrument, though there is no physical movements. From what I've seen, to get a digital player piano, you'll have to append a zero to the price, then double it. I absolutely love the CE220, though. The action and the sound are incredible. For example, string resonance (playing a note causes other specific notes to sound quietly in "sympathy"). I'm not aware of any other digital piano in this price range with thus capability. It adds great richness and realism to the piano voices. Also, the degree of string resonance is adjustable!

periwinkles:I may be mistaken, but I believe the previous post you referred to was speaking of a piano keyboard being drawn, not a QWERTY keyboard. I have the pen, and think the piano is more of a demo/gimmick than anything useful. Sorry.

It is a black piano, however, there are hints of a dark dark brown brushed throughout. From a distance the brown is not noticeable. The brown is noticeable up close.

This is the only electronic piano we had ever owned. We love it. During our search, we looked at several but did not get this one next to the 105. So I can't give you a fair answer. I can say that this one has a very robust soud quality and I doubt you will be disappointed.

Yes, but don't compare to the Motif. It is a piano, and as a purest, I am delighted to play this.

The keys are feel like plastic and are slippery. They are quite noisy when played by an accomplished pianist. The keys are not sloppy like the Casio. The DGX650 is fun to play and sounds great. The Yamaha P255 has the nice Ivory touch, precision, quiet keyboard most pianists would prefer.

I bought them for my grandchildren. I will check to see where made; I doubt if China because I feel the same way as you about their STUFF. However, I did buy the 8-bell set, and that really limits the songs they can play. I would recommend the larger set of bells [maybe 13] that gives you what would be the BLACK keys on a piano so that they can play sharps and flats. If possible, I will let you know where they were made ASAP.

No there are not. There are not follow along songs and this is not a training keyboard. It is a piano replacement and the music that comes with it is not for beginners.
