My understanding is Conceptually, what you describe there applies to many digital pianos though people don't use lead these days The lower keys are simply attached to heavier hammers, it is the hammers that are providing the weight, and you need heavier hammers for the thicker strings.
There are not 4 to 7 groupings, there are 88 different size hammers, 88 different weights, so the transition from top to bottom is subtle and gradual all the way. The fact that lower keys take more force is simply an unfortunate byproduct of the design, it simply takes more force to throw a heavier hammer. DP manufacturers try to duplicate this flaw that players may have become accustomed to, by adding weights to lower keys to make them heavier to throw than the higher keys.
They do not weight the 88 keys individually, they do them in groups, as you describe. Whether this makes the effect more authentic to a real piano, or just different, is open to debate, as neither non-grading nor sectional-grading is authentic. But it's kind of academic, since most DP actions feel so far from acoustic actions that grading or not is the least of their problems.
I think one of the big problems is that, on a real piano, the weight practically disappears on the return, as the hammer has disengaged from the key at that point escapement , whereas on a DP, keys tend to come back with about the same weight that they went down. That is so unrealistic to begin with, that who cares whether they're graded? The "extra weight" on low keys which may make it that much more authentic on key-down may just make it that much less authentic on key-up.
There are DP actions that have escapement features. I haven't looked into them much. If they are just providing the "bump" feel, that would be another example of engineering in a "flaw" that real piano manufacturers try to engineer out, but it could still be comforting to someone who is used to it. But if a board has a true escapement engineered into it--that is, most of the weight is disengaged on the return--then you should actually have something that feels more authentic. I don't know which boards fall into which category.
But in general, I find grading to be a gimmick. But since it tends to be subtle anyway, I generally don't care about it either way. It's not a feature I would look for, but I wouldn't avoid a model that had it. Joined: Oct Posts: 14, B bennevis Yikes!

There are indeed weights, which increase in the lower keys. However, I still think those weights are not there to intentionally make the lower keys feel heavier, but rather to account for the heavier "work" they have to do in throwing the heavier hammer. Without the leads, the pianist would have to exert more pressure on the key in order to lift the weight of the action. With the leads, the pianist is required to exert less than two ounces of downward pressure to sound a note.
I will also correct something else from my post.. For the sounds, you will be highly impressed by the most beautiful sounds that you can get with this one. You will shock your audiences with the great sounds that you will show off. Feel free to enjoy the familiar things that you can feel from a common acoustic piano. This keyboard is more than excellent for a beginner since it helps build proper and certain fingering techniques for the simplest to the most difficult notes.
Thankfully, the matte-finished keys keep users avoid sudden slippery to the maximum. Thus, the digital piano is built for long-term use. The box is filled up with full parts such as a power adapter, sustain pedal, music stand, etc. Grab all you need! So, here comes another masterpiece from the Casio family. Casio has brought out the market a piano that sounds extremely realistic and natural.
Thanks to the patented sound source called AiR Acoustic and intelligent Resonation , users will enjoy realism and the piano details.
And, the sustain pedal strongly contributes to the sound effect. The new Damper Resonance Stimulator will give rich and full sounds when used. The Casio PX has 88 keys come with three sensors for each so that you can capture every dynamic and nuance everytime you play. The hammer action keys allow you to dive into the greatest sounding instrument ever made. Excellently mimicking a real acoustic piano, this product using the familiar dynamics as that of acoustic pianos to quickly enhance your experience.
Simulating how differently-sized hammers move at different speeds, the digital piano does work wonders. You will never enjoy the most fantastic piano sounds ever as a happy pianist, we swear. This interesting product will give pianists an immediate run for the best performance.
We highly appreciate the fact that, this brand highly focuses on its details. Magical here, we mean that they are high-quality and high-performance for an inexpensive model like this.

Yes, of course. Contemporary classical music is classical music composed close to the present day. At the beginning of the 21st century, it commonly referred to the post modern forms of post-tonal music after the death of Anton Webern, and included serial music, electronic music, experimental music, and minimalist music.
