FAQ

What are the differences between GHS keyboard, and GH3 keyboard?

GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard: Well suited for the beginner pianist and delivers the graded, weighted touch piano teachers recommend for building proper technique for playing acoustic pianos.

GH3 (Graded Hammer 3) keyboard: GH3 keyboard swings back faster, like high quality piano keys. GH3 keyboard allows the player to feel the weight of the key when depressed a second time, even when the player has not completely released the key after the first push of the key.

What is half-pedaling?

Half-pedaling is the function that enables you to change the amount of sustain by varying the degree to which the damper (sustain) pedal is applied. If the effect of the damper pedal causes the passage to be smeary, you can reduce the effect by decreasing the degree that the damper (sustain) pedal is depressed.

What is the maximum number of polyphony?

Polyphony is the total amount of notes that can be played by a musical instrument at one time. If the polyphony count is exceeded, the first notes played will begin dropping out.

A higher polyphony count enables you to enjoy playing more complex songs with both hands and extensive use of the damper pedal without interrupting the sound.

How much space is needed for placing the digital piano?

The width of the 88-key digital piano is over 1,350 mm [53-1/4″], and the depth of that is over 300 mm [11-13/16’’].

So, to play the digital piano with correct posture, at least 1,500 mm x 1,500 mm [59-1/16’’ x 59-1/16’’] is needed for placing the digital piano and the bench.

What type of headphones can I use?

Digital pianos (YDP) with the “standard stereo phone” connector allow you to connect headphones with the “standard stereo phone plug [6.3 mm] (1/4 inch)”.
