Young Chang Piano: M Audio ProKeys 88sx Digital Stage Piano Review

There are 2 listings for the prokeys 88sx here on amazon, one is really popular and has over 34+ reviews at this time, and there's this one which has a really vague description as to what it really is. Well, since right now this listing is $50 cheaper than the more popular one I took a plunge and bought it. And it turns out it's exactly the same as the other one. So... for an in depth review of this keyboard, hop on to that other listing and see what they have to say, I mostly agree with them.

One note though, the black keys are WAY harder to press, which kind of ruins the piano experience. Still, I was a hairline away from buying the np-30 before this, and that would have sucked. Semi weighted keys are better than plain graded soft touch, and you can almost pretend that it's hammer action if you play it long enough. Great keyboard overall at this price range.

***EDIT: I just figured out the difference between the two listings. It turns out that this is the international version. It comes with a power adapter that has modular plugs and comes with a variety of plugs you can use in other countries. Plus the instruction manual's in 5+ languages. As far as I'm aware there isn't anything missing from the US version, so the price makes this a steal.
