are keyboard benches the same as piano benches or are they too light to be used at the piano?

This is a very sturdy and comfortable bench that I think could be used for the piano also.

This is lighter than a traditional wooden piano bench but there is no reason why it couldn't be used at the piano, however, for a child whose feet can't reach the floor I would recommend the heavier wooden bench as they need to sit at the very edge and this bench is more apt to tip.

I would not say that this is a bench to be used at an upright or baby grand piano. It is however very well made, comfortable and lightweight. More suited to stage play with a digital keyboard. Quick setup and takedown. My six year old granddaughter uses it just fine at her full size Yamaha digital piano. The height is quickly and easily adjustable and is plenty sturdy enough for an adult as well.

My daughter has a full size keyboard. As long as a piano. I bought this bench for her because she is short & it is adjustable. She loves it very comfortable & we were able to adjust it for her size!! She has no problem playing even with her shorter arms.

The keyboard would make an excellent piano seat. This is made of tubular metal. It is very good quality and heavy duty. The seat is paddy and covered with a good grade imitation leather. It is adjustable, unlike piano benches. It is good for travel or a less formal setting. It is all black and has grippers on each leg.

The one I have would be fine because it has a wide base and seat. Some keyboards are "double Decker " so short benches work for those but not for pianos.

This keyboard bench is adjustable to 25 inches. My organ wooden bench is that high. Yes it would work and be comfortable. I've had several keyboard benches. This one is sturdy and the seat is firm. It isn't quite as tipsy. Good luck.

Because this keyboard bench has several adjustable heights, it should be ideal for playing a standard piano. It does not allow storage of sheet music like a piano bench can, but is has several characteristics which make it a very nice alternative to a piano bench. It is generally lighter, sturdier (the legs of a bench can become loose with use), can be put away (which protects it), and can handle more body weight and a player's shifting around over a period of time better than a piano bench.

I'm not 100 percent sure! It depends on the piano style and how much light you want. I think that I could use it on a typical Upright piano. There definitely would be enough light for me. So I guess that my answer would be yes. It really is a very nice light that directs the light to exactly where you want it. It is nice and bright without being glaring! Hope this helps you.

Yes, the keys are weighted. I bought this for my girlfriend last year and she loves it. Feels as close to a piano as I've felt as far as keyboards go. Hope this helps!

The bench has 3 height settings so it can go pretty low, probably yes to touching the ground. He will probably reach the keyboard but for sure will not be anywhere near a correct position to play piano. Maybe a better option is to leave the bench in a maximum height but to have an object near that he can place his feet on.

The keys are sort of weighted, less than real piano, but more than a regular keyboard.The keys are touch sensitive.

I am not sure what you mean by "weighted", but no the keys do not feel exactly like a piano, but very close. It does have a pedal to give the sustained sound of a piano. On the Baby Grand setting it sounds exactly like a piano.

no this keyboard has springs not weights. and playability is awesome. Highly recommend in investing in one for playing piano.

I do not know what an acoustic piano 'feels like'; I do know and can tell you that the weight of these keys are not as 'heavy' as a regular piano key. The SOUND is fantastic. The size of the keys are 'real size'. The keys are 'lighter' and will increase in sound depending on how you 'push' them down, just like a real piano/organ. Hope this helps.

It depends on which package you buy. I bought my piano with the three-pedal unit. However, I ordered the matching, padded piano bench separate. I remain very pleased with my instrument and bench. I play every day. I continue to play other digital pianos at stores, and am convinced I made the right decision with this instrument.

The keys are not weighted. They are sensitive to touch, as in, if you strike it hard, it will produce a louder sound, but it doesn't feel like a real piano.

The pedals work just like in acoustic pianos. The sound, sensitivity, and feel will be inferior to a grand and for that matter an upright. However, non of the digital pianos I've tried are able to replicate an acoustic piano yet. Overall, for the price, this is an excellent purchase.

The keys have a great weight system. There are outputs to use other stereos. You should check this review is very helpful: http://azpianonews.blogspot.com/2013/02/review-casio-px780-digital-piano-best.htmlWe have it for 3 months and just love the piano.

If you are just talking about playing the melody, very few songs use more than one-and-a-half octaves, so that would be fine. Full piano accompaniments will be more problematic, although you should be able to, for example, ignore some of the bass notes while learning. If you are talking about beginning piano pieces, the early ones will fit within the range of this keyboard.

the keys are not weighted. they're "semi-weighted" which simply means they use a tougher spring to simulate the heaviness of a piano key. it feels like a synth as in they still snap back up when you release them.

I do not know exactly. But, I can press it down 1/2" with my finger. Not as cushy as the artist benches usually found for pianos. I think it is comfortable enough.

The only difference is the color combination. Piano is offered in the Platinum Series.Thanks for your inquiry.Regards,HIDEF

Absolutely not! It couldn't even handle a single piano keyboard. It's alright for mids but terrible for lows and distorted for highs.
