Touch Sensitivity

The keys sensitivity vary according to the frequency range. The lower keys have a heavier touch whereas the higher range keys have a lighter touch. This creates sensitivity very similar to an acoustic piano. However you are able to change the sensitivity to your own preferences – this is useful for children playing the piano, people who are heavy handed or those who perhaps are unable to press hard due to arthritis.
