The actions are Yamaha quality and respond well to traditional techniques. I always found tuning the bass to be frustrating. The electronics are usually not a problem and it would be okay for a practice piano. He can plug headphones direct and won't bother the neighbors. The price is probably a little high for my neighborhood but your mileage may vary.

He says it plays well and is pretty much in tune. He has asked me what I think. I would appreciate any wisdom this list has to offer. Thanks.
