is this actual string for pianos?

It is piano wire as in hard wire used in all sorts of applications. I supose it could be used for a note or two but I have no clue what note.

This wire can be used for a Single note on some pianos. You have to measure the diameter of the wire and compare them. The lower notes have additional wire wrapped around them and this wire will not work unless you happen to have the means to perform the wrapping.

It is "music wire" and should be fine on a piano for the higher notes that do not have wrapped strings. It should also be fine for multiple string notes as long as the wire diameter is correct.

I don't see why this wouldn't work for pianos, because it's strength well exceeds the 33,000 psi pressure that is put on the piano harp itself. I am a piano technician and I think i will try this to save money. I read the specs and they match and exceed the same wire bought at higher prices calling themselves "piano/music wire". It's all made pretty much the same, the only difference would be the carbon and strength amounts. This one seems to be like it will work just fine. I will try it and update later.

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.

It all depends on your sound board, and your piano. Most pianos I know of don't have a male XLR connector. This cable has 1/4" mono audio plug on one end, and XLR female on the other end. Typically you would use this on a Microphone XLR, or an amplifier XLR male port to the female XLR on the cable, then plug your 1/4" mono plug into a 1/4" mono port on your mixer / sound board.

No, I would not describe the sound of this digital piano as "toy like" at all. Of course, it does not sound quite like a Yamaha or Steinway grand piano, but it certainly does sound like a serious piano. The only thing that limits the quality of the sound is the built-in speakers. One can easily connect it to a good amplifier and larger, high quality speakers, and then its sound will be very close to that of a real grand piano.

Yes it is. I bought mine from Amazon, had it tuned & set up by a local guitar and banjo store, complete with Elixir banjo strings. It has a beautiful sound, I use it in church at least once a week.

I do not know for sure, but I'd recommend light strings to further emulate a real banjo.

I have my speakers in my studio where its virtually dust free. But I guess it should work on the piano as its a very good weave and quite thick too. Sound is amazing thru this fabric. No loss.

yes, I would say, compared to other alternatives in this price range, NO, not exactly like piano keys, YES, much better than normal thin electronic piano kesy

The wire is stainless steel piano wire....piano stores should have it and so do ACE Hardware stores

Yes. It is what I am using. I like the string. It will not runaway anymore.

Yes it is. Unfortunately the tuning keys are pretty cheap. Try tuning up, it locks the keys. Mine did improve with time as the strings stretched, but still needs tuning each time I play.

Yes ma'am it is! It responds very well. However, I am very new to the piano.

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

Yes, it is the full set, but we should all be reminded that with upscale sets of strings like this, the E String is typically a very good E string -- special and expensive wire. Usually when Reviewers rate these strings, special mention should be made regarding the appearance and tone of the E String. What? I hope I had abided by my own rule here, or this is tantamount to myself giving my own review a bad review.

No. It's just a controller keyboard. It's made to be used with any midi sounds module or a computer running music software. There may be general midi sounds in your computer that you could trigger with the keyboard. This is all very complicated for a beginner. Yamaha and Casio make very good low cost pianos. Roland and Korg are also make great keyboards.

The keys action is very different to a "real" piano. It takes a while to master it for expression. Depending on your use it might work.I use it for practice only. If you need to practice and them play a "real" piano afterward I would not advise it. The sounds are great if you use headphones.

Deana, it is weighted meaning that softly tapping produces a softer note than slamming/pounding (so to speak). The amount of pressure placed on the keys affects to volume of the sound being produced. However, it is, of course, not a real piano. It's electronically produced sound as opposed to a mallet striking a wire. But, yes, it plays like a real piano. The clicks and annoyances spoken of in other reviews are legit, but they don't bother me.
