Does it have a decent piano sound?

Well, it is an electric piano, or what we call synthesizer. It have decent sounds of all kind, even though I never did tried the "piano" sound, I bet it should be awesome.

Nope, its strengths are on synth sounds and vocoder. The "piano" or "keyboard" sounds are passable.

Not that I have found. It is definitely more of a synth/atmosphere/bass unless..you are using MIDI which you can use the novation as a great controller but as far as its built in..not so much.But I love this product 100% hope it helped! You can check out my music at soundcloud.com/thedoktor . Used the some of its abilities on some tracks.

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.

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.

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.

No. You just hear the music through the speakers or headphones. If you press keys, you will hear what you play at the same time, though. I am fully satisfied with the quality and features of this piano. Please see response from Terence Fitzpatrick for some more details.

I play acoustic piano. On gigs, I use it to play bass/drums rhythm tracks and it does well. I plan to get another and chain them for a fuller sound, but one has been enough for me so far.

Probably, the keys are not weighted, so it is not the same feel as a piano or professional key board. It is a good starter to see if you like playing, and it is highly portable.

It doesn't sound like a real piano but it isn't terrible. Good enought to play twinkle twinkle.

I am not sure because my real piano is out of tune but this one sounds OK to me

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.

No, it has a very nice look and an incredible sound & feel to the keys. Great buy as well.

Yeah, it works alright, though I wouldn't recommend it if you're planning to really get into it musically. It doesn't give a very rich sound, but is fairly decent considering it's a plastic instrument.

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

I mostly listen to classical and piano music. I find the quality of sound to be fine.

There are a wide range of voice settings. It is not overly sophisticated, but certainly adequate for most uses. It is a lot of piano for the money.

First of all, (unfortunately) I am not a musician. I got this piano for my son's lessons. To my untrained ear, it sounds terrific. When he's played for others (including professional musicians), they have all commented on the quality of the sound that's being produced. We have been very happy with this purchase, good luck with yours.

Mine came with a wonderful adjustable bench. I am a very short person only 5 foot 1 inch and it adjusted fine for me and would go some higher for a very young student. You will like this piano if that it what you are looking for a student. It is not perfect, but for the money it is a real bargain. Sounds are not perfect, but they are good enough for me. I am a old piano teacher and a graduate, BA in Music Education. I love to use it and show it off. There are higher ones out, but for the money ,this is the best buy. If you aren't expecting it to sound like the real instruments. I say again, it is close enough for me. I enjoy playing it. Hope this helps you. Mine came with a wonderful adjustable bench.
