Is this a good piano keyboard to learn while traveling? I travel a lot for work, but am never around my piano at home to learn. It would be great if

If you are a iPhone, or iPad user then Yes. It is very compact, yet easy to play the keys. Would easily fit in a backpack, probably a brief case for that matter. Plugs into bottom of phone or tablet( charge port) and runs off of phone/tablets power- does not seem to consume much battery life. Also ,you can easily listen to what your playing via phone/tablet headphone jack. Hope that helps

I have the same question - one of these or a completely different keyboard to learn piano?

Hello, I own the keyboard and I dont even use the computer interface to play it. It is useable without the computer and I have put in batteries and played it on my bed even. A very fun instrument using the sound I found,(voice 82 and dsp) and yes you dont need a computer so rest assured. Sincerely, Michael E Litchmore

Kay - In playing with a color version on display at a local store, I think you will like the keyboard. It feels great as well as looks good. I started this post due to not being able to get a hands-on feel for the black keyboard.

Eric, that sounds good. I am stuck on that same decision.I know nothing about this except for what I can find on the web. My wife is going to be picking up piano, so I don't want to loose $500 (like all other good husbands out there but i do want her to have the best that we can afford... just in case she becomes a rock star and I can retire early!. Can I connect them both to computers? And is that a good option to have? I read on the Casio one you can but not on the P95 one. Also what about the noise interference on the casio some people talk about, have you experienced that? my last question do people install an amplifier to this as a normal set up for homes or just to play in gigs?Thanks Eric, that sounds good.

To be honest I use the keyboard as part of my band. I have never use it for what you are inquiring about. Cannot give any advice.

Very good considering the size. I take this keyboard to chorus practice for when we break into parts, and also use it to practice when I don't have a piano nearby. I've had it for months and haven't changed the batteries yet. It's helpful to purchase a case with handles if you are transporting frequently.

I think it is a good one. I'm using it now. The keyboard is smaller than a standard one, but you can get used to it like I did.

Yes. It really just requires some minimal assembly. After that, just turn on the power and start playing. It doesn't have a lot of the features that you would typically find on a keyboard. It it more like playing an acoustic piano. You don't even need to learn how to change to the different instruments if you don't want to. I'd highly recommend it for someone wanting to learn to play the piano without all the bells and whistles of an electronic keyboard.

This keyboard is really small. It is really more for just playing around with versus trying to actually learn to play. You can play some songs on it though.

Good evening Mick;I was not concerned about a media key on the keyboard and pretty much knew that when I bought it. My keyboars did not have any paper work with it or instructions. The keyboard serves my needs just fine with my big fingers and the touch is very good. I also noted that none of the keys are assignable in other words there are no spares to assign a medial function to. I am sorry but that is what I have found out about it but still like it

No, plays ok, it's not same as real piano. Player aspect does not move keys, has a sound baord. Music is lovely.

No problems yet. I use it with my laptop as well when traveling. Works well, and has a good feel and tactile sound. Also, key spacing feels good, and the "home" position is easy to detect. I am currently also using a fairly expensive Logitech wireless rechargeable keyboard. For people who have been around with keyboards, this Dell has a much better feel and the fingers do not get lost as easy.

It sounds very good for a toy piano, but it definitely sounds like a toy piano. If you want the sound of a real one, you will have to pay for it. My daughter enjoys her piano though. I would recommend it as a great toy.

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.

I use mine as a secondary controller hooked to a Fantom G6 so I have more space to split up the keys during performances, for a midi controller it's awesome, and keys have a consistent feel with the Fantom. Pete's right, though, it has no sound by itself, it has to be connected to some sort of MIDI device to be useful.

All i know is that it sounds good to me. I bought this piano for my Grandson he loves it. He feels the key action is comparable to a acoustic piano.
