I think most of the people who are disappointed with their microPIANOs have picked up unrealistic expectations from somewhere. It's exactly what it says on the tin: a miniature 61-key keyboard with velocity-sensitive keys. The high notes are a little tinnier than is ideal, but that's more about how Korg has chosen its piano sounds than it is about this particular instrument. It's quite serviceable and very fun to play, and it looks great.
