Can I play this piano and hear the music in my headphones only, thus being able to practice late at night without disturbing the neighbours?

Yes. When you plug in the headphones, that turns off the external speakers.
82001
Yes you can. In fact it has two headphone jacks on the unit so you and a friend can both listen in on headphones.

It has two 1/4" plugs below the keyboard on the left hand side for headphones. Most keyboards have similar output on the rear of the unit.

Yes you can, but don't expect the sound will be good as it should be since it wasn't designed for keyboards.

It could be, but you will need to be careful about reflections off of back walls, etc. that could muddy the sound. If there are heavy drapes or sound absorbing panels behind the piano, then it might work OK. Shotgun mikes also are not the best for music. They are designed for speech. If you can get a mike near or into the piano with a long cord or wireless mike, you would do better. It is always a good idea to preview the site, if you can.

It can be used with headphones, but a conventer is needed because the audio output is not 3.5mm.There is a sustain pedal provided with the piano. You don't need to purchase an additional foot pedal.

Yes, you can omit the music/noise, and just have the movement with a very dim light behind it. This option is excellent for training a child to enjoy silence or when the baby is sharing a room.

I hate to say it, but it's not very sensitive to the touch at all. I just wanted to pick out a choral part and was quite frustrated even doing that. I don't see how anyone could possibly practice a piano piece for a lesson or things of that sort.

i bought this piano for the exactly same reason as you did, and it served my purposes well. They keys are digitally weighted, like you play on an acoustic piano. well, the sound won't be as beautiful as an acoustic, as the wooden sound board and all those, you know. but it definitely gives you what you need. this is not a keyboard, not gonna give you those fancy beats, it's more like a piano. Also, what i like about digital piano is that you can play during the night with your headphones on, no need to worry about bothering neighbors. This was a huge plus for me, especially when i lived in an apartment. the piano also comes with a sheet music book with those classics, with the pre-recorded play in the piano. you may find the song you're practicing actually have a pro-version in there, which helps too. go enjoy.

I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser RS120s and doubt that they'll block out the piano on their own...perhaps at maximum volume, but over time, that would not be good for your hearing. What you can try is putting in earplugs (the hearos that Amazon.com sells are good) and then use the headphones at the same time. I've tested that (but not with a piano) and that has worked well to block out loud, distracting noise while still being able to hear my music. Music is usually continuous audio while tv audio has lots of periods of silence, so you may still hear some of the piano practice during more quiet tv moments.

The piano isn't really true piano tuned. If you're asking if it is true tuned middle "c" then the answer is no. It's a toy not real piano sound.

Yes. You may be able to find one cheaper, but this is a good piano for practice if you don't want to spend the money required to buy an actual acoustic piano. It has 88 keys and sounds terrific for a digital piano. I'm in the same boat as you - haven't used the electronic features at all; I just turn it on and play. It also has a headphone jack which is nice for playing when you don't want to disturb the rest of the house.

No. In order to play the music the light must be on. However, you can adjust the light and make it quite dim.

Yes indeed, with the built in microphones you require a quiet place, or a soundproof room. Or you cn plug a less sesitive mic and get all the sounf from piano only

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.

Yes, it is less expensive than a "real" piano, but feels and sounds pretty much the same, and it is also more compact. Being able to practice with headphones means that the learner can play without disturbing anyone. Being able to record and play back help to listen to one's own performance and better evaluate what needs to be improved, and one can also play one's own accompaniment!

I have 2 other keyboards that are quieter, but never use them and neither are without a sound. This keyboard does produce a clicking sound that can be heard in a connecting room, if both rooms were otherwise quiet. I'd guess the sound could be objectionable to anyone sleeping nearby. However, as daytime users, I did not notice the sound might be an issue, until you asked.

Yes, both my 12 and 13 year old girls use the headphones while practicing their piano at night, so they don't disturb the house. They both say they work great and have no trouble hearing their notes.
