does it have enough power to run a electric piano thru it / has anyone used it to play a electric keyboard?

I haven't tried running an electric piano but you would probably have to run it plugged in to 110v rather than battery. The battery recharge does not work well.

This is a really good piano and a very impressive piece of furniture. It plugs into the wall electrical socket.

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.

No, it does not. It is USB powered. It's a MIDI controller so chances are you'll have it plugged into something that can power it. Hope this helps!

I believe it would be fine for a piano. I used mine for large casters and it was perfect.

All we have ever put on it is an electric piano & it is fine for that. I don't recall the paperwork that came with it so so cant give you an answer on that

Yes. I've used it tune a couple of pianos, my violin, and my guitar. It works great. But don't forget to push the buttons and make sure it is calibrated to 440 Hz (I made that mistake). I also bought the microphone. I think it helps to screen out background noise.

This should be able to be plugged into a PA system. You will need a headphone attachment to plug into the Headphone jack in the piano and then that will plug into the PA system. You will most likely need a male to male cord to do this. I hope this helps.

Yes I believe so. The battery never died completely for me to try it but I have played music from it plugged into AC power

Ours has been fine but hasn't been used too much. I'd call Yamaha and/or an instrument repair shop to see about fixing what likely is a minor internal electrical issue (loose wire, burnt chip, cheap stuff). It has the most genuine and beautiful piano action I, and my mom's best friend concert pianist of 50 years, ever have experienced on an electric. It's the action from a real acoustic Yamaha piano that uses electric amplification. About as pure as it gets. Take it in and fix it - cost depending of course - it's too fine an instrument to trash.Good luck,Steve

I don't know. My daughter uses it with a piano keyboard. It performs well and she has been using it for a couple.of years. It takes a standard jack so it may work.

I havent used it without the computer so im not sure if it works independently but I know there is a battery port. What number of keys are you thinking about getting? I had a 49 and it definitely was portable on the road but on a plane im not sure depending on what size keys you get. the smaller one is def. A good size. The keys are for sure fun to play with and has great feedback when you play. I would recommend this midi keyboard for the price

It is powered by the external device. I don't notice much power drain though when I use it with an iPad. If you are accustomed to weighted keys on keyboards or pianos, this keyboard may take some time to get used to.

Yes, it have it, I purchased this sustain pedal, and works fine with the keyboard Yamaha FC4 Piano Style Sustain Pedal: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002F52EW

Ehhh. Plug it in and see what happens? I don't think you would hurt anything. It wouldn't work the way a piano's sustain pedal works, but maybe you'll like the way it sounds. Or not.

If the piano has a input it should work. Not sure it would sound good through a piano. If you are that close to the piano use a wired mic. This VHF wireless mic sounds very telephone like. There is a lot of static and it sounds like you are talking over a CB radio. Get a $15 dollar wired mic and a cheap cable.

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.
