Product Review
Well built. Excellent sound quality. Great weighted key action.
This is an excellent piano for teaching on and playing. I am using it to teach piano lessons. The feel is very close to that of the real thing. The expressiveness and responsiveness of the keys is perfect to my ear. The touch of the simulated ivory feel of the keys is wonderful to play on.
This is great for beginner to advanced. It is mean for playing and that is what it does best. If you are looking for a lot of sounds then this isn't for you. If you you want an excellent sounding piano for your home that you never have to tune and doesn't cost your first born, I think you will be happy with this purchase.
Excellent.
The key action is excellent. The feel is that of a real piano.
This Piano is as good as pianos of twice the price.

Product Review
Most excellent, don't think I'll be getting another keyboard after this one.
I play classical, but the sound is superb, matching the exact piano sound is quite difficult and almost impossible for the keyboards I've seen/heard. It's not exact, but it's pretty close, and the 3 pedals just add that much more to it; I like that they're included.
Very easy to use, would work for anyone who used it in my opinion.
Met all expectations, (I don't make an uninformed purchase)granted it doesn't have a hundred's of different sounds and all that, which is why I rated 4 stars in this section, but it has what I need which is a piano. My favorite feature would have to be the sliding key cover, it makes it so easy and quick to cover it and avoid dust or whatever else might land on it.
As I said in the "quality" section, it seems really hard to duplicate a real piano's exact sound, the strings add so much to the sound of it, and without them, it's really just a copy or an imitation. But overall, the sound of this keyboard is good, and for the price, it's definitely worth it.
The keys feel quite realistic. Comparing to the keys of other keyboards, I'd say they're some of the more realistic feeling keys. But on a real piano, the keys seem to "sink" (go straight down) when you hit them, these ones tilt, but the feel general is about the same. Closer to a piano than a lot of keyboards, I can say that.
"Similar product's in the same price range" should be afraid once people start figuring out about this one...yeah, it's that good.

Very easy to set up and use. Good assembly instructions, then just turn it on and it goes!
Very easy to use.
I just wanted a digital piano with a realistic piano action. The action is surprisingly realistic.
Your general opinion of this product.
Top quality. I am a pro musician and I am impressed.
I bought this for the action. The only digital piano that had a better action was the Kawai, which cost over twice the price. I am a pro musician, and I am very impressed with the realism of the keyboard action as well as the pedal action. The half-pedal is impressive and very much like my real Emerson Cabinet Grand. This piano is so realistic in feel and sound, it's a little bit freaky.
Honestly, for $800 bucks this is a no-brainer. If I had a child who was interested in learning piano, I would not hesitate to start him on this one. Now, when he gets better he *will* need a real acoustic piano, but as a pro who has this piano as well as a very rich and well-regulated acoustic upright, this is a pretty darn fine instrument. And you won't go nuts listening to fingering exercises, because unlike the acoustic upright, you can plug headphones into this one and it's virtually silent. I use it myself late at night for my exercises. I live in an apartment, and my neighbors don't mind when I play music on the upright, but I suppose they'd complain listening to my exercises for hours. This digital piano is a winner. If you have the $$, the Kawai digital has a bit of a better action, but this Casio has a better action than the comparable Yamaha and Roland digitals. As for this Casio, I bought it, I own it, and I recommend it.
