How does the touch and resulting volume compare with a coventional piano.

I have never had a conventional piano, but I LOVE being able to adjust the volume when my kids are practicing which for us is a huge advantage over a conventional piano. Sometimes it seems louder and other times softer depending all on the volume. It also never has to be tuned. Hope this helps.

Suzuki has a fantastic sense of what is expected from an acoustic piano, and delivers beautifully at normal volumes.

Not an expert, but the weighted keys give the feel of a standard piano, and the sound quality is very good, however, I did notice that on some of the higher notes, you can hear a bit of an echo, but it is faint and only hear it if you are playing those notes only for a long time.

The headphone jacks are 1/8". I have no experience with a wurlitzer, so can't really compare, and in any case the "feel" of a keyboard is a pretty subjective thing. FWIW, I can say that this unit has a decent piano feel to me, but I would recommend getting your fingers on one to try it out.

I am not a professional so please take it for what it is worth. I believe it has 101 sounds or more, I have the instrument packed away for the moment. I really p I've the piano sounds fantastic to me. I really am not qualified to give you the best advise pertainf this but all the instruments in the keyboard are close to what I know. Hope that helps, you probably better off soulistening to it yourself. If I get a chance to pull it out I will make a video of the sounds. Can't make promises .

You can increase pressure to change volume, but it is not like a real piano, it is more like tapping on the keys, and they do make a noise. This is a great instrument for learning to play and for jamming with others just for fun. It is not a performance keyboard, but it does have lots of accompaniments and voices to play with.

Yes, the sound is very loud. Two piano played at the same time and still can hear it. You can turn the volume up and it sounded like a wooden dock, dock, dock, etc...

With touch-response, the volume will depend on how hard you hit the keys. The easiest solution is to adjust the volume, and as you practice you can better incorporate dynamics into your playing.

As answered before; yes, the keys are weighted and feel and respond very realistically compared to an acoustic piano. (IMHO) For the money, it is an amazing digital piano. You get a whole lot of bang for your buck!

This is a great piano, for sure, but it may be a bit more than what you need if you are looking for an instrument on which to learn. I would suggest starting with a slightly less expensive "starter" keyboard, one with touch sensitivity, and then "graduating" to this instrument a bit later once you know that you are a budding pianist! :) Hope that helps!

Hi- the keys are weighted and it feels and sounds like an upright. It plays wonderfully and there is no other key noise that we can hear. It's worked out great for our beginner player!

Hello Noah,Thanks for your interest! Even though it is Casio, it's the highest end Casio you can get. It has weighted keys, so it should respond similar to a regular piano. As far as the sound, it has a bunch of settings that simulate the damper, and if the lid is open or not. This is a quality made keyboard, it's the best Casio makes. How does it line up vs. a Wurlitzer? There is no comparison, but it is a good substitute. It has the standard headphone jack size. Hopefully, this helps make your shopping decision easier.

I think so. It has a good representation of what a piano does and feels like. I.e., it's not just a cheap keyboard but is small and capable. The built-in features seem useful for learning how to play a piano. It's worth a try, if one were motivated enough.

The keys are weighted. It really feels like a real piano. There is an output so you can use other speakers, but I have not used it. The built in speakers are plenty loud and it sounds great.I'm not sure what you mean by the last question.

Hello Stu, I'm not sure I understand your question, but if you are referring to the response time of the keys... it's instantaneous because the action is electronic as compared to a mechanical action produced by a standard piano.I hope this answers your question! Ken Getsinger

Nightingale sums it up nicely; I use my keyboard the same way. Useful for carrying around, sitting under a tree somewhere, testing out theory, little chords, ditties, whatever. But no, it cannot replace a real piano -- and not just because of the sound or limited keyboard. Those keys are about half the size of real piano keys. For the size and price, you can't expect it to sound like the real thing. It does an adequate job and would make a great TOY for a kid, but it cannot replace the real thing.NOTE TO Susan Prior -- where did you find a case for transporting it? I'm in the process of MAKING one from scratch because I didn't think cases were available for something this size. Nightingale sums it up nicely; I use my keyboard the same way.

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.

The keys are weighted. They don't feel exactly like a grand piano, but their is definitely a difference felt when going from the lower end to the higher end.

I purchased this item for my son. His response is as follows: The keys are synthetic ivory and feel very good. Compared to an acoustic pIano, the keys are just as weighted (sometimes heavier than some Grands). Your fingers do not slip on the keys and they are very playable. Hope this information is helpful.
