* GHS action means that the middle of the keyboard (the area where you play the most) feels just like a real piano but it is not stretched meaning that it is lighter on the top end and heavier on the low end (like a real piano). The action is the same across the entire keyboard. Most people do not have a problem with this. If it is an issue then one might consider the GHE (Graded Hammer Effect) action as it is stretched. The GHE action is found in the P140 keyboard.
