This is a very nice array of options and features for only two dollars. There are some limitations to playing a keyboard through the DSi touch screen, like the fact that the system can only register one touch at a time -- so you can't hit two or three notes together. But even skilled pianists would be able to accept that kind of limitation, and appreciate this release for what it is -- an easy and accessible app to play around with, maybe even useful for laying down and saving basic ideas that they'd later fully develop on a real instrument.
