i had watch so many reviews on YouTube. and many comments that they like it and that it sounds almost like a real piano. I was quite disappointed actually when I tested some on the stores. they sound metallic or tinny to me but I wanted to buy the casio with 77 keys . but was told it that this brand might not last long. that I better get a yamaha because it is known for durability and quality. and so i went for it. but I still wish that I should have bought the Casio. half the price of yamaha and for me the sound is more pleasant to my ears. yamaha and other brand has this fake grand piano sound but it doesn't sound great for me. while the casio I prefer has this ttraditional keyboard sounds that isn't irritating to the ears. i had this old small casio keyboard but it had n like 50 keys or less. isn't enough to play on. so that's why I decided to buy this 77 keys. the yamaha Psr e425 I bought cost about $900 in the Philippines. I'm sure I you could buy that in other countries i much cheaper

I'm sorry you aren't happy with your purchase... I don't listen to music at all so can't give an opinion on this subject. I don't even want my phone to play music to me. Even my ringtone is a person saying "Let me out! I'm stuck in your pocket, please let me out!" It sounds like I've trapped a little kid in my pocket and most people think it's funny when my phone rings.

i understand when you say you hate listening to songs. Felt that way too. But one day, Out of boredom, I tried playing some songs on the piiano. I thought I would hate playing it. like the way I hate hearing them on YouTube or phone. but when i play the song on my piano it gives a different feeling, it brings back those old feelings.. which I don't feel anymore listening on YouTube It just feel different. it become more personal on a piano playing anyway I got those music sheet I'm playing from online. I don't play by ear. I play by reading piano pieces.

@DaddyEvil but you still do okay the piano. then your still listening to music if you do. i did learn also when i was 12 years young. but and played for several years though not seriously. just learned those classical music from a teacher. but never did practice to do good at them though I can them with many mistakes and problem with dynamics and etc. but two years ago, i thought went not play again from that learned to play again this time not just classical but also pop and love songs. before they was no internet. i got only limited pieces to play mostly classical which was hard and boring. thankfully, many available online though not free but worth it to pay for subscription on musescore to get some music's sheets to download and print.

@hotsummer I learned to play piano when I was a teenager. I still don't listen to music... I'm glad you're enjoying playing it.

Of course,I prefer the sound of a real piano. But I have to teach piano on electronic pianos because space is limited at Guitar Center.

yes the piano is much better. but does it mean you also find the sound of digital piano irritating. or metallic or tinny somehow
