Some reviews say the PSR-E313 & YPT-310 have smaller keys than a real grand piano, but the description says "full-size." Can someone please clarify?? Thank you so much!

I have one. The keys are full size but there are only 61 keys (36 white and 25 black). But you don't really use the ones that aren't there anyway. (the ones on the far left hand side). The center C key is not in the "center'...it is more to the left. Hope this helps.

I have two 5 octave keyboards on mine top and bottom. One is an Edirol PCR-80 midi controller, and the other is a Yamaha PSR-500 synthesizer. They both weigh about 8 pounds and are about 42 inches long. If you bang on them like a gorilla I couldn't recommend, but otherwise I can't see it being a problem.

No, if you do not want to invest in a piano buy a keyboard with full size keys.

Hi Andrea, The dimensions for the Piagero 76 keys are 51 x 11 x 22 inches, while your Yamaha DGX 230 is 50.3 x 10.6 x 22 inches. This means your Piano is one 0.3 inch shorter, not significant at all. Your Piano should fit perfectly on this bag.

No, the keys don't go up and down automatically. The demos (or one of the classical pieces) are not mere audio recordings, though. During play, the stored data does actually play the instrument, though there is no physical movements. From what I've seen, to get a digital player piano, you'll have to append a zero to the price, then double it. I absolutely love the CE220, though. The action and the sound are incredible. For example, string resonance (playing a note causes other specific notes to sound quietly in "sympathy"). I'm not aware of any other digital piano in this price range with thus capability. It adds great richness and realism to the piano voices. Also, the degree of string resonance is adjustable!

Hello Catherine (my Mom's name.. also spelled with a "C") Yes and No....... They are standard sized piano keys made of lite plastic.. They are "weighted" to "mimic" the "feel" of real keys.. there are 61 not 88... as this is a keyboard. It is missing some "octaves"... not an issue for general playing .. the unit has good "note" sound reproduction.. I bought it mainly for the CASIO song "learning system" witch is first rate I have a full sized "high end" YAMAHA digital piano...which is my main instrument ... but, they cost many, many times this Casio . A necessity ONLY if you want to be "serious player". REC III

For me, a full keyboard wasn't important. I simply wanted an inexpensive device that I could use to re-learn the piano. When i can again intuitively interpret a note on a sheet of music to a particular key on a piano and learn a score quickly, I will buy something bigger. For the moment 66 keys are quite sufficient. If I were a half-skilled pianist I wouldn't buy this. I am slowly relearning, and in a year or two, I may sell what I have and move on. What I have is a minimal investment to find out whether a bigger keyboard is needed.

The only difference is the color combination. Piano is offered in the Platinum Series.Thanks for your inquiry.Regards,HIDEF

Just measured vs. my upright piano and the keys are less than 1/2 mm wider than the Casio's. Measured over 12 keys the difference is about 3 mm more width than the Casio.

Eric, Thanks for a well thought out review. It's nice to hear from someone with playing experience who has lived with one of these keyboards over time.I have to ask, what did you think of the Korg? How did it compare with the other two?

My Yamaha YPG-235 76 Key Portable Grand Piano fits with plenty of room. This is bag is very padded and structured. It is soft but the corners are reinforced and it stands up beautifully. It's like a suitcase for the keyboard. Very nice. Hope this helps.

Yes it is a full sized. The keys are bouncy and feel a little strange at first.

Yes. It is a very good keyboard. It has lovely sounds, the feel of the keys is similar to a Grand Piano, it is lightweight, and I greatly enjoy it. I have almost played it every single day since I bought it in September for multiple hours. I love it. <3

Yes! Using it with Piano Wizard Academy & it is great. Saved $100 on Piano Wizard by opting not to get their 4 octave keyboard & for $149 more got the YPG 235 76 key.

My daughter has a full size keyboard. As long as a piano. I bought this bench for her because she is short & it is adjustable. She loves it very comfortable & we were able to adjust it for her size!! She has no problem playing even with her shorter arms.

The one I have would be fine because it has a wide base and seat. Some keyboards are "double Decker " so short benches work for those but not for pianos.

Hi, I bought the keyboard for my 7-year old daughter to practice and can only compare to a piano at her teacher's home. I would say that the keys seem the same width as the keys on a piano, but look a bit shorter in length. Hope this helps.
