Hi,
How many keys has a full size piano got? Is it 88?
I have an electric keyboard but it drives me insane, so I want to buy an electric piano with hammer action pressure sensor keys.
Does anyone know prices/where I can get cheapest electric piano in UK?
Also looking for music for Imagine by John Lennon.
Many thanks
Sspauk

Yes. There are 88. Other than the music of John Lennon, I know very little of electric pianos or the UK.
Good luck in your search.

I just found this site on google. It's a UK site and has a listing of digital pianos on the left-hand column on the home page. Good luck! http://www.chamberlainmusic.com/default.asp

What year did those become part of the piano? (ie what era could have written for them?) Other than that, they're there for the richer sound from sympathetic vibration/overtones I'm assuming?
