Thomann DP-28 Plus

I unfortunately bought this having the luxury of having tried an old version of the DP-26 that a friend had. I expected great things considering it is a newer model and almost a 100 euro more expensive ? Unfortunately I was a little disappointed. Now that is not to say it is not a great piano for the money and an excellent MIDI controller however I have a few gripes. Echoing the reviews of other people the hammering noise on the weighted keys is horrifically loud, I am somewhat more accustomed to it after several weeks playing but it still does make playing without headphones at anything less than 2/3 max volume quite off-putting. Also the pedal squeaks like the actual mechanics of it but it also creates an interference that comes through the speakers at a certain point of depression. In its defense it feels nice the sound quality is beautiful it you can get over the hammering and it looks sleeker than the slightly cheaper DP-26 and DP-5600 but that hammering noise.
