- Is the ES920 good for gigging?
- Yes. At 17 kg it is one of the lighter 88-key pianos with a serious action, and Bluetooth MIDI helps with setlist and sound apps. Add a soft case and a folding stand for transport.
- How does it compare with the Yamaha P-525?
- Both are premium slabs with wooden-style actions. The ES920 adds Bluetooth Audio and an OLED display; the P-525 has a longer track record and a broader dealer network. Play both if you can, since action feel is personal.
- Does it come with a stand and pedals?
- The piano ships with a single sustain pedal. The matching stand and triple pedal unit are sold separately, so budget for them if you want a home setup.
- Can I use headphones without disturbing others?
- Yes. There are two headphone jacks, so a teacher and student can listen together, and the sound switches to headphones automatically when plugged in.
- Does it work with piano learning apps?
- Yes. Bluetooth MIDI connects to apps such as Piano Marvel and Flowkey, and Bluetooth Audio lets you play along with streamed tracks.
- How many sounds does it have?
- It has 38 sounds, led by several acoustic and electric pianos, plus strings, organs and harpsichord. Polyphony is 256 notes, so sustained pedaling does not cut notes off.
