Given the price, the NP30 has a sensational sound quality, accurately reproducing a full grand piano sound, putting far more expensive digital pianos to shame! Although there are a few other keyboard sounds included, the main reason for buying an NP30 has to be for it's quality piano sound.
The compactness and light weight of the 76 note keyboard is amazing...perfect for gigging and where space in a room is at a premium. How they fitted the graded touch in there is incredible.
For young pianists learning piano for the first time, the NP30 is an attractive and affordable option. For pianists taking more advanced graded piano exams, who 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!!!
