Go for it
This was a suprize gift from us to our kid. being around 11 year, was not surre what to gift. Gadgets keeps them glued to screen which i did not wanted. with no prior knowledge of playing an musical instrument, initially we were sceptical to buy this. But turned out to be the best gift ever we have purchased.The kid likes it a lot, spend more quality time on the Piano and have been playing many many songs on this. the keys are super and being semi-weighted the sound is super clear. And with multiple mode the kids will enjoy more. woudl highlight recommend

Good beginner
First of all the keyboard looks nice and well put, and the features it has for learning are good. The keyboard has over 400 different sounds so itâs has a lot of variety. The size is reasonable for that amount of keys. The only problem I have with the keyboard is the quality of the sound, it sounds muffled the louder it gets.

Lot’s of features for the price.
Yamaha left a lot of features in place considering that the next model up is nearly double the price. All of the obvious must-have stuff is available in this keyboard including: Transpose, Voice Octave, Presets, large selection of drum beats, large selection of voices. I’ve been able to use this as a MIDI input device via the USB port and that really helps when I need to lay down a piano track. It’s a little difficult getting used to the lack of that rotary wheel that helps you scroll through functions or adjust values. You’ll notice that you don’t have effects like flange or pan or chorus and also there’s no pitch bend. But if you honestly need those features just get the more advanced model. Love the new “soft off” feature. My previous Yamaha had a mechanical power button. I’m grateful to Yamaha for giving me more than just the basics at this price point. Excellent product for practicing or composing or performing.

Didn’t Know What I Was Missing.
After many decades of not playing the piano, this is exactly what I needed. Earphones allow me to play without disturbing anyone. I can take my time relearning the notes and chords. Most importantly, the sound quality is great. Playing again might help hand-eye coordination, memory, and finger flexibility.More importantly, playing again (however badly) makes me happy!

My 6 year old is obsessed!
My son used to have a small kids keyboard that eventually broke. He had out grown it anyway so for his birthday we decided to get him a major upgrade. We decided on this one because of the reviews and I like the shape of it a lot. I felt like it looked professional but kid friendly. There are lots of setting for different sounds that my son loves to experiment with. My son even taught himself a version of âthe wedding songâ it wasnât perfect but it was pretty dang close. I was super impressed. I think itâs also a good thing to teach responsibility. Itâs nice enough that he takes pride in taking care of it but not so expensive that if something happened to it, it would be devastating. Also would like to mention that with batteries and daily use it lasted for well over 5 months before we needed new batteries.
