Great piano for what it's worth

Reviewer: Nicole,

This piano is amazing!!! I bought this piano a couple of weeks ago, because I wanted to learn how to play. Great piano for anybody that is looking for something that is not as expensive but still holds great quality.

Great Beginner's Piano

I found this was a good purchase over all. It is a great keyboard for the price. However, in my opinion, it lacks professionalism in two areas:

1) The keys are extremely light. Perhaps that is because I'm used to an antique upright, but the keys would flap faster than a diving board. This throws the sustain off a bit.

2) The foot pedal is lousy. It is a small rectangular box a little larger than a standard deck of cards. It is hard to press down in just the right spot, and makes the slurs sound shallow.

If I had the choice again, I would still purchase this product. I did end up purchasing a standard piano foot pedal ($25) though, and it sounds much better.

Grand deal

Reviewer: T. Cavil,

First off I will say that this is a beautiful keyboard which looked fantastic in the room I had it in. The problem came when I started playing it. I wanted to upgrade my 61-Key Casio to the 88 key Yamaha YPG-535. My Casio sounds 20 times better than the Yamaha. The best way I can describe the difference is that when I play my Casio, the tones sound like they're coming from the intrument. When I play the Yamaha, the tones sound like they're coming from speakers, bad speakers at that. I bought my Yamaha YPG-535 yesterday and I'm taking it back today. I knew within 30 seconds the sound quality was nowhere near my Casio CTK-5000. I will be upgrading still but I will be upgrading to an 88 key Casio.

Updated Review: I went into Guitar Center today and played the Yamaha YPG-535 and the Casio PX-330 side by side. Complete night and day. The Casio wins out by far. I encourage you to do the same test. I truly don't understand the good reviews for this Yamaha. I really wanted to like it because I love the look but it just doesn't do it for me. I also don't understand why more people don't complain about the volume on the YPG-535. You have to have the volume on full blast to have it play at normal sound volume. The full volume level for the Yamaha is the same volume for the Casio at medium volume level. I don't get it! Anyways, got the Casio PX-330 and I'm totally happy with it! I won't be taking this one back!

Great For Both Beginners And Professionals Alike

After taking a piano course via the internet, I am now an intermediate piano player.

This is a great piano keyboard. I use it everyday for my music practice.

I use its recording features to record my practice sessions.

I sometimes also download songs in midi format from the internet to it via a USB flash drive or cable.

I then learn to play the songs by using all the different teaching features on the keyboard.

This is my most favorite toy.
