What digital piano not to buy: The Casio CPS-7
Advantages: its better than a toy one Disadvantages: tinny sound, not 88 keys, no weighted keys, hard to get technical support
...of the keys didnt work. Casio was not helpful on the phone, and after a lot of persisting they promised to pick the piano up and repair it. Seven years later I am still waiting (This happened in Spain where I live). The sound is not very good, and I now know that tinny sound is a general trademark of Casio. Also is only has 76 keys, which at the time may seem not important, and then it really is. The lack of weight in keys is probably the worst feature ...

Real Piano Substitute
Advantages: Has the feel of a real piano Disadvantages: Could be louder
...one? Then opt for the Yamaha Clavinova. It has the look, feel, size and positioning of the real thing. Yet, it’s about half the price of a low end baby grand. I was blown away when I first sat down to play on it. I’m by no means a pianist but I have tried many keyboards in over the years and none that I’ve tried feel like the real thing. That is, until I tried the Clavinova. It isn’t bursting with features as many, and even the lowest end keyboards ... ...replacement. It sounds like a piano. It feels like a piano and it looks like a piano. You have volume control. You can record your performance (and play over it if you desire) and you can play with headphones on. A pretty useful feature if you have disapproving listeners whilst practicing. It also never needs tuning. This is a perfect solution to any household and it can easily be moved around inside the house if you can’t make your mind up on the ...

Yamaha CP300
Advantages: - Disadvantages: -
Yamaha CP300 sings better than its previous pianos. I compared it to some other pianos such as Bluthner, Bosendorfer, Bechstein, Technics PR900 and Yamaha P-150. Its features include MIDI/XG tone generator which is much more capable than the P-150, a detachable power lead and a panel lock which would not change the settings when you hit one of the buttons as it might happen with P-150, balanced XLR outputs, the half damping feature, comprehensive ... ...a multi-timbral tone generator.
Unfortunately, Yamaha does not come supplied with a music rest. You can buy it as an accessory which would cost you about £30. You probably have to order it direct from Yamaha if it is not available at the music stores. Another accessory that you would have to purchase is a stand specially made by Yamaha to sit the instrument. It costs £150. However, you could use other suitable stands. I use a Quiklok X type stand.

Yamaha CP300 Stage PIano
Advantages: reasonable price, reasonable sound, portable, built-in amplification & speakers, USB port Disadvantages: no music rest supplied, a few dodgy-sounding notes around D4
...was never a fan of Yamaha acoustic pianos. So back in the 1980s it came as no surprise when their digital instruments failed to impress me. In my opinion Yamaha pianos sounded too 'wooden' at the top end. They had none of the 'singing' tones common to European pianos like Blüthner, Bösendorfer or Bechstein. However, after moving into an apartment in 1996 I was obliged to get a piano that took cans and chose a Technics PR900, which in my view was ... ...the store and got a Yamaha P-150 instead. Although this one didn't sound as good as the PR900 it only made the sounds it was supposed to make. Accordingly I lived with it for 12 years until earlier this year when an upgrade seemed due.
As a result I now have a Yamaha CP300 and am, on the whole, delighted. I am pleased because, while still not a patch on the Technics PR900*, the CP300 'sings' a lot more than previous Yamaha pianos. And, of course, ...

Superb Portable Piano
Advantages: Superior natural sound quality, not bulky, new interesting and useful features Disadvantages: none
Yamaha P-85S Digital Stage Piano is the best thing that our church acquired. The antiquated piano that has been with at the church since it was established is too bulky and heavy so the Board decided to buy a portable piano for our outdoor church programs and activities. We have always trusted Yamaha brand when it comes to musical instrument but I never imagined this Yamaha P-85S Digital Stage Piano could be this enchanting. This is marvelous with ... ...and singers in our Church. It is conveniently slim with a built-in speaker which makes it easy to pack and bring anywhere.
