Do the keys depress in self play mode?

No. You just hear the music through the speakers or headphones. If you press keys, you will hear what you play at the same time, though. I am fully satisfied with the quality and features of this piano. Please see response from Terence Fitzpatrick for some more details.

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!

Yes, all keys work and you can play more than one key at a time...I was playing chop sticks from the movie big (tom hanks) and it sounded great!

It mostly works out of the box in Ubuntu 14.04.2. The play/pause and volume keys work but the rest of the media keys seem to be a no-op, and only a few keys on the detached numpad work (calculator shortcut, clear, backspace, enter) and I can't figure out how to make the rest work (numlock, 0-9, ., and the operators)

Nope. It just has the Dvorak letters. They're the same font as the normal keys underneath.

No. I have had much trouble with the buttons. I only use the key to lock/unlock it.

Yes--it's a little touchy though--it's quite easy to lock the player as the delete selection uses the same section of the key-and there is very little space between the two--easy enough to unlock should it happen--just a minor inconvenience

If you have them directly set up to activate hotkeys in game or any other app. it will definitely act as a trigger for it.As far as the keyboard goes, I have a brand new yet defective keyboard.I'd recommend you spend a bit more money and get something worth it. 50$ for lots of headaches... not worth it.GL

I have an 88 key keyboard and it is rather wobbly. I wish I purchase the deluxe version.

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.

Hi Heidi, I've had this toy for about four years. There is no demo mode that I have found. I did have a problem with the number 2 and 8, which interrupted the songs and activities. I played around with the keys, cleaned it and the keys loosened up. The toy now plays great with no interruptions. Hope this helps.

Don't know, but the sound manipulation by the touchpad is doing the same to me. I tried to find a disabler for it with no luck. I did download the supplemental control program from Logitech that goes with the keyboard. Plan to look at it again to try to disable, just haven't got to it yet.

Some of the keys on mine never worked. I bought it for Christmas last tear and the wRranty run out before Christmas. I still have it at home

Not at first but after awhile the keys get a weird stickiness to them and become hard to press if not pressed EXACTLY in the middle of the key. I eventually threw mine away it got so irritating.

Not sure I can help much, since I have not really used this keyboard yet and it's been a long time since I've played a piano. However, the keys appear to me to be full size (something that I considered important to me also) and there is a moderate amount of resistance when pressing them. But, although the keys are not just floppy loose, I have no problem depressing them. Can't you give it a try and return it if not satisfied?

I see the keys you refer to, but I can't seem to get them to work. Is there some trick?

Yes, when changing the key up or down your slowing it down or speeding it up. hope this helpsDennis

When the key is touched softly or harder, there is no difference in the volume level. In the Grand Piano mode, tapping the key is different than holding the key down. When held down, the sound fades like a normal piano.
