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 monojack ins/outs and connections for other types of effects pedals, the built in amplification which is actually not common on this style of piano, the adjustable action, and the ability to connect a computer using USB which allows using CP300 as 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 piano is a worthwhile purchase.

I didn't know pianos could "sing". Try to write in plain English and pay more attention to detail. This is a very expensive product, not a bag of crisps, and the review should reflect that.
