Is this piano mat in tune? Most similar products are out of tune.

When my nephew opened and played with it; it was in tune. I don't know how it is now since he run,jumps, and tumbles on it.

I don't know but I think it has a guarantee. Amazon would probably stand behind it. For tuning, I used "peg oil" which seems to keep the keys in tune.

I am not sure... I recorded 4 files, it came up in MIDI format - but when played in other media the accompaniment themes came like static noise. I was opening the files in various programs - the same noise instead of the melodies, even Yamaha itself plays it correctly.

It is my wife's piano. She says she has not noticed any clicking sounds when playing.

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

Hi Rosalie, I am not a piano tuning expert, but I believe piano tuning technicians use strobe tuners to get the strings generally in tune. After that, the scale is "tempered" by ear, which very slightly lowers or raises certain strings so that chords will sound "in tune" but are not technically exact. I believe this tuner is one of the best on the market for accurate tuning, i would not guarentee a piano will sound perfect if every string was tuned exactly to this, or any tuner. So, I must say that I can't really say yes or no. I'm sorry. That's as much as I know about it. I highly recommend for guitar, harp or instrument scale that does not require tempering. Good luck!

I ultimately bought this very banjo from a local shop rather than through Amazon. My guess would be that it's not perfectly in tune out of the box. Banjos being wood instruments fluctuate with temperature and frequently go out of tune even in the course of playing them. Watch a professional banjo player and watch them tune their instrument in the middle of a show when no one else has to. Otherwise there is nothing to put together.

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.

My realization is that there is not substitute for continuos practice and music study. My experience with the Yamaha Education Suite (YES) has been limited, in part because whitout previous trainning it is difficult to take advantage of it. In summary, my opinion is that piano lessons are a requisite and the YES is a complement.

Not really it's all practice quality material need to be careful it's very easy to break and needs to be tuned a lot.m this is a product only to see if you even are interested in playing. I can say the case was nice.

We had the same problem - it doesn't work at all. Finally just used an old violin music stand behind the piano and adjusted it to hold the music at the piano players height. Not beautiful, but it works.

I bought some extra tension strings to tune it E-A-D-G-B-e. It didnt work well. It would match the intonation but sounded sloppy. So I re-tuned it A-D-G-C-E-a.

I don't think I'll be much help. Got it for my husband to annoy me with, lol. We are not really a musical family. I did pull it out of the box though and I couldn't find anything on the box or the didgeridoo about it being tuned to any specific key. I'd think that with it being a natural sound made by the curvature of the instrument and a cheaper version at that... it probably hasn't been tuned for any specific key.

Chris - I think my last response got lost or cut short(my mistake). I'll try again. The short answer to this is no. I ran through all the presets and even some tweaks I use and cannot find any standard piano sounds. There are a couple/few organ sounds you can work with. If you want standard piano sounds, you can buy a MUCH cheaper keyboard/MIDI controller for that purpose. All that being said, this is probably the best musical instrument purchase I've ever made. I'm not really a trained musician, but the sounds I can create with this micorKorg are amazing. I hope some of this helps. MK_from_PA

Not sure I can help much, since I have not really used this keyboard yet and it's been a long time since I've played a piano. However, the keys appear to me to be full size (something that I considered important to me also) and there is a moderate amount of resistance when pressing them. But, although the keys are not just floppy loose, I have no problem depressing them. Can't you give it a try and return it if not satisfied?

I just received my piano and am returning it. It sounds like an out of tune acoustic piano. Heard from Kawai and they haven't heard of that problem before. But to answer your question, in regards to the warranty that comes with it, it states you would have to send it back to them and pay the shipping. So if you are worried about a problem look at the warranty you are thinking of and check to see if you would have to send it back at your expense or if they would send someone out.

Yes, I have tuned 3 grand pianos and one spinet with this thing. It is not reliable in the upper or extreme lower register. You will have to tune by ear using the 21st. I use it on my harpsichord all the time--same problems in the extreme ends. It does really help nail that unison though. Hope that helps.
