"FP2, Good home use Piano."
I expect to keep this piano for a long time, as I can't think of any other features I want. I would have to be a much better pianist to need anything more.
Sound
The sounds seem good however I only really use the default piano sound most of the time. The internal speakers are OK for practice but not great, no supprise really given the size / weight of the piano.
It sounds much better via headphones so would probably sound better via a PA, although I have not tried.
Features
It has all the features I need and many I don't. There are hunderds of different sounds if thats what you looking for. It has a USB output which works well with my laptop computer (I have a tutorial program I sometimes use).
Quality
Quality seems good I have had no problems with it and it is fairly sturdy. I would be a bit concerned about the end cheeks which are plastic if I was planning to move it allot.
Value
I consider it good value. I looked at alot of other pianos and this one had a feel I found easy to use and a look that was much better than most. I would probably but the same piano again if it was stolen.
Manufacturer Support
Not great I tryed to phone them but could not get through. I found this information I was looking for on the web in the end. (I wanted to know the correct type of stand to go with it, FPS11A)
The Wow Factor
I really like the look of this product and it feels well made when you use it. As it is a home use product for me the apperance was important.
