Product Information

Full details

The Costway 88-Key Hammer Action Weighted Keyboard is designed for beginners and intermediate musicians who prioritize an authentic piano experience at home. Its primary benefit is the weighted hammer action, which mimics the resistance of an acoustic instrument to help develop proper finger technique, though the piano requires a dedicated space and a steady power supply to function optimally.

Can I use this with learning apps?

How heavy are the keys?

The keys feature a weighted hammer action designed to simulate the resistance of an acoustic piano, providing a more authentic feel than non-weighted models.

Can I record my playing?

While the piano has internal songs, you can record your own performances by connecting the USB MIDI output to a computer running recording software.

Troubleshooting

No sound output from speakers

Check that the master volume is turned up and ensure no headphones are plugged into the headphone jacks, which may automatically mute the main speakers.

USB MIDI not detected by computer

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the piano and the computer, and verify that the host software is configured to receive MIDI input from the piano.

Keys feel stuck or uneven

Check for debris between the keys; use compressed air to gently remove dust, and ensure the keyboard is on a perfectly level surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly should be performed on a flat, stable surface to ensure the keyboard remains level. To integrate with learning applications like Perfect Piano or POP Piano, ensure your computer or tablet is connected to the USB MIDI port using a high-quality data cable. For care, wipe down the keys regularly with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to prevent dust accumulation between the key actions. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the finish of the keys and the cabinet. Keep the unit away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve the internal electronic components.
