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. Its elegant black color matches the splendor of the sound it creates. It also has innovative useful features that makes it more exciting like it's sound recording feature that allows you to play back and a variety of other high-quality instrument voices. ...

Review of Yamaha P-85S Digital Stage Piano

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. ...

Review of Yamaha CP300

A quick, fun way to become a pianist!

Advantages: Tons of "fun"ctions! Quality sound, cool look!
Disadvantages: Somehow difficult to navigate the layers and layers of functions.

...experience. I bought this Yamaha keyboard, DGX 200 in November 2003 - one morning, while looking at my CD titles such as Elton John, Billy Joel and Norah Jones, I suddenly thought "wouldn't it be great if I could play the piano like that..". So I went online, searched through pages and pages of websites about keyboards, read numerous catalogues/reviews. After a lot of reading, I had a few vital requirements, all of which DGX200 met. I can strongly ...
...This is a system Yamaha has developed to teach both left and right hand movements effectively, and in a very fun way. I compared a few manufacurers’ learning methods and Yamaha’s system sounded the best. I think it would be great for kids too – there is a scoring system which tells you how well you performed, so it is like a fun game. It’s quite addictive, and within 2 days, I was playing about 6 songs, thanks to this system! Some of Yamaha’s PSR ...

Review of Yamaha DGX-200 Portable Grand

NP30 Review

Advantages: piano sound quality, light weight/ portable, graded touch keys, affordable
Disadvantages: 76 note not full 88 note keyboard

...require the full 88 notes...the Yamaha P85, (basically NP30's big brother) is a very good option. My recommendation would be to purchase the NP30, (or P85) with the optional sustain pedal. This will ensure maximum control of the dynamics of this outstanding instrument. Also, a keyboard stand is a must for the serious player. Overall, simply awesome...not to be overlooked!!! ...

Review of Yamaha NP30

Yamaha Clavinova CVP-85A

Advantages: As close to a piano as you can possibly get
Disadvantages: Takes up a lot of space, extremely heavy

I bought a Yamaha Clavinova CVP-87A in mint condition just 2 years ago from a well known music supplier, together with stool and original instruction manual and style disk. This is truly a remarkable piece of instrumental equipment which would cost around £2,000-£3,000 to purchase, had it been a new model. I bought it for £900, but only because it was second hand to begin with, so I really feel as if I'd got myself a bargain. I have heard that the ...
...percussion rhythm facilities then the Yamaha Clavinova digital piano is the best. In short, if you want a piano but don’t want to go through the expense of retuning it every year, this really is the one to go for. It's the closest instrument there is to a piano without being a piano. 88 keys (full sized keyboard fully weighted keys), AWM tone generator system offers a range of 60 realistic voices. Dual and split play modes, 24 accompaniment ...
