Something wrong with the black key from my digital piano?
Well I just got my digital piano (Casio Privia) and one black key is broken aka no sound and can’t even press it.
I plan to return it in the future but I want to know anyone knows a way to fix it? Any keyboardist here?
admin answers:
If you can’t press it, there is something binding the key probably something underneath it. Not necessarily recommended, but the Privia is fairly lightweight, so you can pick up the instrument and shake it around a bit. If it’s a loose part, it will work free. I’d still get a replacement even if it does start working. Since it is possible that the same problem will occur again. Even worse is if it is a metal part and it shorts some of the electronics.
Almost certainly a small part that erroneously got in there during manufacturing.
… Best of luck.

What is a good AND affordable digital piano?
I’m looking for a good AND affordable digital piano, but don’t know where to start. The only things that I know I really want are:
1) ability to plug into my laptop and record;
2) ability to layer music (ie. go back and add more overtop of what I’ve already recorded), and;
3) NO “tinny” sound – the more piano-like it sounds the better.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

The sames ones that get mentioned day after day after day
Yamaha P95
Casio PX130
Korg SP170
Kawai EP3
… Don’t know what you mean my “layering” since you would build the sequence on the laptop.

what number do i use to tune my digital piano it lets me go from anywhere between -64 to 64?
i just got my williams overture 88 key digital piano and i was exicted. i assembled it and when i played it it was kinda funky. sooooooooo i read the manual about tuning and i can go from -64 up to 64 what number should i use to sound good i can not tell. also when do i press down on the sustain pedal? thanks do you guys also know how to keep the changed settings?
admin answers:
Tune it to “0″ – this is the correct pitch. You only need to change this pitch (plus or minus) if you are playing alongside another instrument which cannot be tuned (like a xylophone or pipe organ).
Use the sustain pedal when you are playing notes that sound nice together. Try pressing it, and playing notes from one chord, e.g. All Cs Es and Gs!

Do you think i should save up for a Nintendo 3DS or save up for a digital piano and alto Saxophone?
Im turning 19 yrs old tommorow! im saving my money wisely do you think i should get the sax and digital piano or get the 3DS? I use to play piano for 11 yrs and stop for 4 years so really like 7 yrs. What do you think will last more longer? i already have an acoustic piano.
admin answers:
Get the piano, trust me games are fun but they only last for so long, I just bought a game that Ive been wanting for a long time and barely play it. Id rather play guitar

How do I repair the keys on my digital piano due to water spill?
Spilled some water on 3-4 keys on my Roland digital piano and now they don’t work. Is there a way I can fix this on my own?
admin answers:
In general repairing digital pianos is not worth it unless this is still very new and a very nice piano ($2000+). Usually the cost of repair will be more than a new instrument. You can open it up and look for broken or loose connections, if you’re good with electrical wiring and soldering iron you can reconnect the broken connections. If the previous sentence is gibberish to you then any attempt to repair will cause more harm than good.
