When I play harder does it make a louder sound? And when I play softer, does it make a softer sound? Realistic to a real piano?

This piano is velocity-sensitive, so volume does directly correspond to how soft or hard the keys are pressed.

Yes. It does simulate the piano and forte sounds pretty well. Not as great as a 'real', or what is called an acoustic, but pretty good.

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. I purchased this for my grandchildren, but I play some, and have played this. I find it more like a "real" piano than a typical electric. It is still different, however.

Not really. It's darling and lots of fun but not a real piano sound. A little twangy.

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, 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...

Yes, it does sometimes make a very very soft click when pressed but hardly noticeable unless you have the ears of a musician and are playing very soft on your keyboard. It's really not noticeable unless you are listening for it. I can hear mine click only when there is no sound coming from the keyboard.

Absolutely. This keyboard at no time feels or sounds like a "toy"--it is probably the best imitation of a real piano for the price. Any differences found in more expensive models tend to be nuanced and nitpicky.

This is not like a real piano. The keys give you no resistance when you press them. However, the harder you press these keys the louder they are.

You are able to press down the keys, but it is easier than normal piano keys. Some keyboards are weighted, so that they feel more like a real piano. These keys aren't weighted, so it is different than a real piano, but they still feel and work great. It is a great buy for the price and works great.

Yes, somewhat you can tell when playing piano and forte. However, this models volume at its loudest is okay for practice play but, if used in an actual venue external speakers will be necessary. On a scale of 1-10 the volume is probably about a 6.5

It completely depends on what she wants to do with it. To me, there are not enough keys to make it any sort of adequate substitute for a full piano, using two hands. It's generally intended to be slung around the shoulder and played with the right hand only. It's not self amplified, so it needs to be connected to some sort of powered speaker, unless you use it exclusively with headphones. That being said, I think the sounds and the physical keyboard touch are nice. If it were me, I might look for something like a Yamaha YPG 235 instead. More keys, self amplified, meant to be played with two hands, many sounds, accompaniment features. My own opinion only! It completely depends on what she wants to do with it.

Hi, the pedals work perfectly. They are very responsive so far (been having it for 2-3 months already). From my experience, I would say that it works just like my upright Kawai piano. About the voices/sounds, there are around 10 - 20 different sounds you can choose from. Hope this helped =]

This is not the loudest Metronome and its loud enough for me, but I used it to play my Double bass with is a loud instrument, the beat is a computer not wooden beat, with i love from it, its that is a great multitask device, with the tuner and the play back is amazing, but i don't know if you are going to be taking advantage of those features, since is for playing piano.RubenEdit: I agreed with John

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.

The keys are weighted, and feel mostly like a real piano, but don't feel _exactly_ like a real piano. On a real piano, you sort of feel the hammers swinging...on this the resistance is a little more even.

Yes all keys work & I'm not home right now to test it yet I do believe they can be played simultaneously. It legitimately sounds like a real piano/keyboard.
