## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with a power supply**
A: I was able to purchase a white one for about $9.00. I don't like using batteries because they leak and ruin your device over time. Here is a link to the 12V 1A power supply that I brought.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JF5HTZA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

**Q: Does it come with a kind of support for music sheet ?**
A: Yes it comes with a stand that attaches.

**Q: are the keys full-size?  Some reviewers say the keys are slightly narrower than a real piano's.**
A: I didn't measure them, but I am used to playing a full-sized grand piano every day, and in a two-hour rehearsal yesterday I did not have to compensate for any differences in key width between the NP12 and my home piano. If there is any difference, then, it is too small to make any difference to a professional player.

**Q: Does this keyboard have a midi output?**
A: On the back of the keyboard is a usb connector. It's size type-b, that square shape some printers use. (Doesnt come in the box). This not the old 5-pin midi connector; this transmits midi over a usb cable (sometimes called something like midi-to-usb host). This makes it easier to plug it into your laptop (or ipad with camera connection kit) and immediately start controlling midi apps. The older np-11 has a 5 pin, I believe. I assume there are options to convert one to another.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what I needed
*by L***D on November 16, 2018*

** Note: This is a review for the NP-32 76-key Piaggero. I am an experienced pianist. **There comes a point in a musician's life where he /she realizes that no single keyboard instrument can do all that's asked of it. All piano-like keyboard instruments (not thinking harpsichords or celestas here) have their inherent strengths and weaknesses.For example, a Steinway concert grand is expensive, isn't portable at all and goes out of tune if played regularly. But if you don't need portability, have the cash and it's in tune ... nothing can compare to it (except, perhaps, an in-tune Bosendorfer).I realize this is a rather long-winded introduction for a relatively cheap electric keyboard, but I think it's important because many of the low-star reviews are comparing the Piaggero to pianos that don't have to travel (such as the Steinway). No wonder people are giving it bad reviews!Instead, let's judge the Piaggero for what it is: a very portable, ultra-light, bare-bones performance electric piano (with synth action) that's extremely easy to travel with. This is the reason I purchased it -- i already have a high-end, hammer-action electric piano, thank you very much (Kawai CE220), but i can hardly schlep it to gigs!Based on what it's positioning itself to be -- THERE IS NOTHING ELSE LIKE IT ON THE MARKET. Here's why i think it's the best budget portable performance piano out there:- It's VERY INEXPENSIVE FOR WHAT IT IS. I got mine for USD 250.- It's LIGHT. You can carry it under your arm with ease.- It's PORTABLE. Because it features very few flashing lights, bells and whistles, the form factor has been kept very small for a 76-key keyboard, so it's just over 1 metre in length, which gives it a small turning circle (so to speak)- It's BATTERY-POWERED with 6 AA batteries, so you aren't enslaved to a wall outlet power supply (though you can buy one separately, if you so choose)- It has BUILT-IN SPEAKERS, so you don't even need to bring an amp (though it's best suited to small venues with light accompaniment - it's perfect for accompanying a singer, not so much a brass-band!)In fact- with the sole exception of a foot pedal, i have no reason to accessorize the Piaggero with anything else to bring it to a gig. You can plop it on a tabletop (so no need for a stand) and away you go,The only thing which comes close in comparison to the Piaggero is the Roland GO piano, which doesn't have all the features mentioned in the list above.Of course it isn't perfect, and here are some of the flaws (none great enough to knock off a star):- The position of the extra keys compared to the 61 key version are a bit awkward-- it would be nice to have a full C to C extra octave, but instead the additional key range extends to a bottom E in the left hand and a top G in the right hand.- The speaker could be louder. It does limit the performance to accompanying singers and light instruments. If you want to accompany a rock band you'd need a proper speaker.- There's no obvious "Transpose" button - you have to plough through the manual to figure out you have to press and hold the "Metronome" button and one of the keys to transpose up and down octaves. You'd be forgiven for thinking, at first glance, that this keyboard doesn't support transposition.Some other quick features -- USB Midi, and some standard voices (2 acoustic pianos, 2 electric pianos, yada yada...)... but let's be honest you aren't buying thing as a MIDI controller (i recommend a Novation Launchkey for that), or its wonderful electric piano sounds (they're ... ok) - you're buying it because it's highly portable for doing workhorse gigs.In conclusion... wonderful for what it is. Don't expect to be able to play Rachmaninoff on it, or expect anything other than a synth action-- but if you want something you can very easily gig with, say to play a couple of tunes out of the Real Book, then the Piaggero is an ideal lightweight gigging companion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Piaggero Np32
*by Y***O on April 10, 2025*

Excelente piano para aprender.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy good batteries!
*by T***R on December 21, 2016*

If you are going to use this keyboard without the power supply (which is oddly not included), then buy really good AA batteries. I tried using the Duracell regular gold/black AA batteries (it takes 6), and the keyboard kept shutting down after about one minute. It was fine when the power supply was used, so I suspected the batteries were the issue. I switched to using Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA (found on Amazon), and that problem seems to be gone now. So if you are playing away, and the power goes off, try more powerful batteries.For the price, this is a nice portable keyboard. I bought it so I could have something to practice on while on long vacations. (I have a Yamaha DGX-660 at home, which is well worth the extra money if you are looking for a better piano experience.)Note that if you are in the same boat, the NP12 keys are a little narrower than the DGX660 (and I suspect other full-size pianos as well). The measurement for ALL the keys on the NP12 (five octaves including C at both ends) is 32.5" exactly. On the DGX660, the same number of keys measures 33.25", so that's an extra .75" over the 61 keys. For vacation playing, it's not going to be an issue, but if you are ONLY playing this keyboard and then need to play in front of an audience on a real piano, you will want to practice on that piano for a while beforehand I would think. Might not be an issue if your child is an elementary stage, but something to think about if they are progressing.Speaking of keys, I also found the black keys a little too thin for my liking, and too rounded. I feel like my fingers are likely to slip down the sides. On the other hand, the keyboard itself is pretty nice compared to the others I played at a local music store. Some of them had large gaps between octaves, and one had a distinct "spring" sound when pressed (like an old bed!). So I encourage you to visit a local store to feel the different keys. Prices are often the same as on Amazon too.The voices are quite good though, even if the speakers seem a little underpowered for the size. I like the Strings in particular. Note that you can press the Demo button and then press each instrument button to hear a different song played using that voice. However, since I can plug this in to my laptop over MIDI, I can always play virtual keyboards on my Mac and bypass the NP12 sounds.* Update 10/2017: I added Pianoteq Stage virtual piano software on Mac which comes with a Steinway and Kawai modelled pianos. With headphones on (the built-in speakers can't do it justice), the sound is incredible! I couldn't stop playing!
