Definitely not wighted. The keys feel like cheap plastic. Otherwise it's sort of playable when doing easier pieces. So far I haven't seen a retailer that sells it in the US or Canada so can't really try it at the store. I did find it in a store in Asia so I did try it before buying it.

I had both the laptop and the Folding Piano 88 in the same carry on luggage on a flight, not in the check-in luggage. Definitely need to let both go through the X-Ray machine. The customs people were rather curious if the keyboard was used to hide anything illegal inside. To use the keyboard as a MIDI device to a computer, just plug in the cable. The cable is for both power & MIDI. When you plug in the cable, you should hear a beep sound that MIDI is enabled. I'm using Windows 10 on my computer. Don't need to install any software or driver. Don't know which operating system and program you are using. Some programs like MuseScore there is an icon you click to turn MIdI on / off.

@@thepianoplayer416 Wow thanks for an answer and so quickly. I do imagine them at the airport unfolding the piano in front of everybody to check what it is and then going like "oh this is pretty cool... Ok, no bombs here" xD. Yea my laptop did that connecting sound and on Bluetooth and Devices even showed the piano but nothing opened up. I'm using Win11. I've been looking at MidiEditor, Can also see about that MuseScore.

Don't know your location. I haven't seen it in a store in the US or Canada besides ordering it online. I travelled to Asia (Hong Kong Tom Lee Music to be specific) that sells piano & keyboard. The keyboard comes in different colors including black, white, blue, etc. At the time of the purchase only white was in stock. Other colors were out of stock. It's probably available in other places like Taiwan, Korea & Japan.

It doesn't have a realistic piano sound but for travelling, you can't pack a full-size digital piano into a suitcase. Most people have room for at least an upright piano at home. If you're on vacation somewhere and need to practice, something like this would be ideal. At the moment digital technology is not at the point of giving people a real piano action or sound that is like a piano that you can't tell the difference.

In my younger days I had little exposure to Jazz music. My father had a collection of Classical pieces by Mozart, Haydn & Beethoven. Anyway, this song came out before my time. In my younger days I was into Classical music and when I think of Disney, I'd think of "Snow White". On top of the list was the Disney version of "Sleeping Beauty" with the famous Tchaikovsky Waltz playing in the background.

Depends on how frequent you travel and how much time you spend away from home. Someone like myself who would spend at least 1 month of the year away from home I prefer a portable keyboard that is as close to a keyboard with weighted keys or a piano as i can get.

I've been playing long enough to know my strengths & weaknesses. Like many people I started with slow practice so recording #1 was the slower version. Played it at a faster tempo and decided at some point this is the ideal tempo. Teachers & students would rate this as an intermediate piece. Composers don't write music that fit into specific conservatory levels. Compared to many of the Bach pieces I played before, this is technically simpler.

It's Pianoteq v8. Not the latest version but did the job very well.

When you shop online, you expect a faster delivery time. 7 to 8 weeks for delivery is almost 2 months. When an item is not available to be shipped within a week, the website would normally put in the text "out of stock" so that the customer can place the order at a later time. Where I'm at (Canada) between the order date (last July 2023) and the delivery (January 2024) was nearly 6 months. The past year many car models were on waiting list for a few months. The dealership would accept a small deposit and ask the customer to pay in full when the item arrives. When you pay in full, you expect a much quicker delivery.

hey maybe the dude's accent is really strong and bad, but I agree the AI voiceover is terrible lmao but those glitchy artifacts when there's silence sound pretty lit

twice sped up it is almost tolerable

Thanks...

Thank you for your support...

The answer is no. The piece was put together the old-fashioned way "by ear". Can probably get AI to come up with pieces in different styles. Great suggestion to try. Early music tend to be simple. The keyboard instruments of the day had 61 keys at most. Composers wouldn't write pieces that require moving up & down a few octaves & changing keys. The consideration were not to overembellish the harmonies and create something playable on a harpsichord or clavichord of the day. Imagine if Bach had a computer. If he had an 88 piano he'd be writing music more like Chopin or Liszt. Thanks for your comments... 🙂👍

I was looking for another Pop song during the Christmas break and stumbled across this piece. Thanks for your comments.

Last summer I came across someone performing a piano arrangement of "O Holy Night". People were listening to the music and posting comments in the middle of June! Good music & good performances are timeless. Otherwise Christmas tunes are limited to the first half of Dec. Some people would start playing them in Nov. when decorations starts going up in public places incl shopping malls.

In the beginning I wasn't sure if the keyboard was an original or knockoff of another brand. They did have a website & Facebook page active for a while. The last few months the people selling the keyboard were like salespeople at a liquidation warehouse who wanted to get rid of their stock. Ask them a question you get no reply like they're not providing any customer support.

👌Bach wrote many pieces for the keyboard (including the organ & harpsichord). Some concertos by Marcello & Vivaldi were rearranged for keyboard and compiled into a volume. Some of the pieces are for keyboard solo while others are played with an ensemble as accompaniment.
