Amazing product - shame about piano sound though Advantages: Easy to use, well built, intuitive software Disadvantages: Piano sound and sustain!!!! This device is well worth its price. This is one of few keyboards at this quality that is actually easy to use. The buttons are logically set out and the software easy to understand. The only thing I would say though is that this is NOT a synth when playing live set up your presets beforehand and it does take time and is quite fiddly. The 88-key graded keyboard is excellent and feels like a concert grand - if only I could say this about the piano's ... ...etc are very good. It is a shame the piano sound isn't so good, the sustain on the piano sound is very light and sounds terrible. I have never tried the keyboards midi features so I cant comment on them. It has 128 key polophony, I have never heard any voice cut offs even in piano solo. Finally this device is very very well built I have dropped mine a few times in a fabric case and its intact. The chassis is mostly metal which helps. It looks ... andrewjwatt 31.07.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Roland RD700 SX
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 ... beuf67 17.11.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Yamaha CLP230 Clavinova
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. ... totox 30.03.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Yamaha CP300
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, ... jasonford 31.12.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Yamaha CP300
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.
