Definitely not! A typical piano octave has 12 keys - 7 white keys jutting forward and 5 black shorter keys. Ignoring the colors, we can say a typical piano has a 7-5 configuration. The Usai... See More

Definitely not! A typical piano octave has 12 keys - 7 white keys jutting forward and 5 black shorter keys. Ignoring the colors, we can say a typical piano has a 7-5 configuration. The Usai keyboard however has a 6-6 configuration - a "balanced" combination. If you color the keys on the Usai, you will find that F#, G# and A# wind up as three keys jutting forward, hence they are painted black up front.

If you have a toddler niece/nephew whom you truly dote on, you might wish to consider getting them this Korg Tiny Piano at their 1st, 2nd or 3rd birthday - it costs only $200+ and is extremely small and light (doesn't take up much space). It operates either with batteries (which thus can be played at the bedside) or AC power, and has 4 colours to match surrounding furniture. It has good acoustic piano sounds, as well as toy piano sounds! Can also perform octave shifts and many more!

Nice. I only have the Kawai toy piano (which sounds more like a xylophone). Maybe I should get this as well.

Yes, you can either get it from City Music or the music shop at the top floor of White Sands Mall.

This is different from the Kawai one you mentioned, right?

Yes, the Kawai one is strictly acoustic, and the sound is like a glockenspiel. But this is electronic.

A truly special improvement in the piano! With improving materials and technology, instrument makers should make use of the new material characteristics and push the boundaries!

This is good news! In fact another friend of mine had recently the chance to play on such a piano!

Responding to Yong Meng's request to post the photos of the Bosendorfer grand piano...which has 9 extra keys.. I played on it in 2006 in Toronto. This piano cost C$238,000 back then (see the price tag!). The extra 9 keys are in black in the last photo.

Is this the Bosendofer 290 Imperial model?

Absolutely ... (it says so on the white card). Want to buy one for Pianovers Meetups? :)

Lol, the extra keys will be under-utilised.
