Does this have keys that are weighted and feel like an upright piano? Also do the keys make any unwanted noise when playing?

Hi- the keys are weighted and it feels and sounds like an upright. It plays wonderfully and there is no other key noise that we can hear. It's worked out great for our beginner player!

No, the keys aren't weighted, but you'll get used to it pretty quickly. And the keys still detect how hard you're hitting them, which determines the volume of that note, so doing proper dynamics isn't difficult.The keys make a slight clacking noise if you press them really hard, but nothing more than hitting any other object with your fingers would make. I don't think it would be possible to build it to be 100% silent, but there's nothing unexpected or unwanted. You won't notice the noise when playing unless the piano's volume is low.

No, these are not weighted keys. But this is the closest you can get for this amount. I like it. No complaints.

No they are not weighted but there is no unwanted noise when playing them either. I use my own stand, not the one in the diagram. Makes it easier to carry around.

The keys are a decent combination of the feel of weighted keys, while being touch sensitive at the same time. I use this keyboard for my music-writing pass-time/hobby and like the feel of it very much.

The ebony keys are not a high as a regular piano. The sound is the same whether you press hard or light. The volume controls adjust the sound of the keys.

This model does not have weighted keys. They call it semi-weighted but it is not the same as piano-weighted keys.

Has modified weighted keys...somewhat less than regular piano keys. However, very good feel to them.

I purchased this item for my son. His response is as follows: The keys are synthetic ivory and feel very good. Compared to an acoustic pIano, the keys are just as weighted (sometimes heavier than some Grands). Your fingers do not slip on the keys and they are very playable. Hope this information is helpful.

If you plan to transition to a real acoustic piano, I would go with something with weighted keys, something like Casio's Privia PX-130. Otherwise, I imagine you will become very frustrated.

Yes, but just one that sustains (only, from what I can tell), not the 3 pedals (or effects) you would expect from a tradition piano. However, this piano is great form learning/practice or if you don't have a lot of room is wonderful and the keys feel like a "real" piano. Very nice sound as well.

I'm not sure if they would be considered weighted but they have good resistance and spring back. My daughter still has her old keyboard and those keys are a lot easier to push. She has lessons on a baby grand and said she prefers the feel of the keys on her Casio. So I'm guessing it has keys that you would like. We are still very happy with piano especially when you compare it to moving and tuning a used piano that we were thinking about.

The keys are weighted like an actual piano keyboard, if that is what you are asking. Instead of the cheap plastic surface and feel, you get an almost genuine sensation when you press the keys, and it enhances the playing experience so much more. The keyboard itself is a decent weight for its size (88 keys), but I don't know how much it weighs. Hope this helps.

This is hard to answer, so I will answer it in this manner. When I first began to play the Yamaha I felt the upright at my church and the Yamaha compared favorably. I could transition between the two more easily than the electronic piano at church. Are they exactly the same? No, but close. You must realize that my perception may be different from yours. Some electronic pianos have the ability to change the sensitivity of the key board. You must realize that this is an entry level instrument and I purchased it to play for my own amusement. It good quality for that purpose. You must decide what quality you want and the purpose of the instrument.

The keys are weighted like a piano. My daughter (the one who plays it) has had a regular keyboard before this one. She says these keys feel like a piano because they are weighted.

No, however just as with a piano the keys respond to being pressed in varying ways, harder/faster is louder. In addition how the keys respond is adjustable.

The keys are not weighted! it's very light synth action keyboard...If you look for weighted keyboard, you need the heavy MOTIF (with accordingly heavy cost;)...

You are able to press down the keys, but it is easier than normal piano keys. Some keyboards are weighted, so that they feel more like a real piano. These keys aren't weighted, so it is different than a real piano, but they still feel and work great. It is a great buy for the price and works great.

Not really. But I've been playing mine for several years now and the feel of the keys is really okay. It isn't enough of a difference to be a bother. However, the harder you hit a key, the louder it plays. That's a nice feature.

Yes, it does. I recently bought the new Yamaha P-255...wow! If you can afford to pay a little more, I would buy the P-255 instead. I love it!!! Otherwise, the P-155 is also a good piano.
