I know this is a question for an American forum ? but how do you say "88 keys, weighted" electronic piano in Japan ? I would like to buy one from Costco in Japan if possible. I live in the U.S., but this is a gift for a family member in Japan as a celebration.
I understand 88 keys, but is "weighted" the piano touch in Japan? I would like to buy a piano that I can use for a while, so that I don't have to buy a new electronic piano when I start taking piano lessons.
Thank you very much.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Hello.
I am currently using a Roland FRP sold at Costco.
I also play classical piano, so I think I can help you.
First of all, there are many types of electronic pianos.
Weighted means that the keys are weighted like a real piano. This is for people who want to learn piano seriously like a classical piano.
However, the weighted keys may be tiring at first. That being said, the best thing about the weighted electronic piano is that with practice you can express delicate sounds.
So if you want to focus on "playing" the piano, I would recommend weighted.
I don't know much about piano touch, but I think it is the ability to change the volume of the sound depending on how hard you press the keys.
If you are just starting to make music, you don't really need the weighted feature. Instead, we recommend a "keyboard" that can produce sounds from a variety of sources and instruments.
It does not have the weight of an electronic piano, but it specializes in "inserting sounds into a music application," which is essential for music creation. It can produce not only piano sounds, but also drums, guitars, and almost any instrument sound you can think of, and you can put them into applications such as a computer to make music.
However, as I mentioned earlier, it doesn't have the "weight" of a real piano, so it is not suitable for practice.
Most electronic pianos fall into these two categories.
If you want to learn to play the piano, we recommend this electronic piano.

I use it and it has a lot of accessories.
I recommend this keyboard for people who want to make music on a computer or other devices.

It has 61 keys, but it has 600 instruments and sound sources. It has 61 keys, but it has 600 instruments and sound sources.

I know this is a long time ago, but I wonder if you have solved what the Lord wants to know. ?
"I want to give my child a real piano, but due to living restrictions such as a small house or not being able to play loudly enough for the neighborhood, I choose an electronic piano"
There are many families like this in Japan. Perhaps it is because most of the manufacturers of digital pianos are in Japan, and buying one in Japan gives you the most choices.
So, the value of any manufacturer's product is "how close it is to a real piano".
At the moment, only ROLAND and some CASIO products are available on the Japanese Costco web, but if you remove the Costco restriction,
YAMAHA, KAWAI, CASIO, ROLAND, KORG, etc. offer a variety of products.
Each of them explains their keyboard mechanism in detail on their web site, so please try to gather information.
There is no unified expression of "piano touch", but if you read carefully, you will find that\about 100,000 or more have weighted and volume control according to the force of keystroke.
Also, as the price goes up, the material and construction of the keyboard gets closer to a real piano, and the sound source and speakers get better.
By the way, my relative had a KAWAI.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Postscript
However, the better ( and more expensive ) the piano is, the bigger and heavier it is, even though it is a digital piano.
So, if you want to buy a piano as a present, it would be better to check the actual piano before you buy it.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)
