So, I've got some good news. A Casio technician called me the other day and explained to me my problem with some keys being louder than others. He said this happens when Casio's sit in a store for a long time and not played. They can get dusty inside. My piano, although not played, sat on the floor of the store for a long time before I got it. The problem is very fixable, and he's got no problem driving the 75 miles to my house to do it. Thats very nice that Casio is doing this. It says a lot about the company.

I have lived with all the tones for a week now. I've tried adjustments with Chordana and nothing sounds any different. The mellow tone is way to mellow and the grand piano sounds like there is something covering the speakers. The crazy thing is all the funny sounds I'm getting stop when I change tones then come back later. This is an intermittent problem that a technician would be hard to solve. I called the shop I bought it from and they will check with the Caso rep. I'll leave it with that for now. Thanks for your post.

Its my second week with the AP470. I also cannot find a good sound. The Concert 1 and 2 are very muffled. I can't believe this is a NY Grand Piano sound. I'm also getting strange hot keys. Keys that sound off then the rest. I'll get a key that is doubled with the next octave. Very strange. I'll have all this at one time. I'll turn it off then come back the next day and its fine. The other thing I hate the most is a very long sustain when holding down the peddle. It goes on for ever. Not good when playing classical. I've been playing now for about 50years. I've used a Casio PS-20 that I think sounds better. All and All not Happy. They say you should go and test different pianos at the store but the selection in my city are not good. There was a nice youtube review of the AP470 from a guy in Canada. He tried not to say the AP470 is not worth the money. I should have watched his body language. Concerning the Chordana app I agree with the first post you cannot change much. The only thing that is good, the cabinet is beautiful. Thanks for letting me post.
