Wonderful keyboard
We just bought one of these because my daughter neededa keyboard or piano that would respond to touch like apiano for her piano lessons. Although I am a beginnerpiano player myself, I think the keys behave like realpiano keys (in terms of response to force of touch)and the sound is just incredible--I would not knowthe difference between this and a real piano if Icouldn't see them. There is an amazing number of thingsyou can do with it, although we haven't really workedthrough them yet--practice songs (although the repertoireis not huge; maybe 20 or so songs) and play to a very largevariety of background rhythms and accompaniments, as wellas export what you've played to a computer. I'm not surewe'll use all these features, because we really justgot it for the weighted key action and it does beautifullyat that, but they're nice to have for the future if wedo continue to play. My daughter...

A very solid electronic grand!
First off, I'm not sure why the other reviewer gave this product only a 3/5 rating... admitting he is not a pianist and is unfamiliar with pianos in general, I hope other potentials buyers do not read his review as an expert opinion.As a working and studying musician, I have spent a lot of time around acoustic and electronic pianos of many types/brands. I'll admit, I've never been a huge fan of some Yamaha grands, but this product was impressively different. The hammer action of the weighted keys is much fuller than other electronic keyboards I've played, the speakers are very clear and pretty powerful, and the stand and pedal set is a great compliment to the instrument! And aside from the piano sounds, the other instruments are pretty great and fun. The range of possible applications of this instrument is huge!Also as a composer, I love the USB ports that allow you to hook up to your computer. I can input notes into my notation software with the simple press...

Beautiful Keyboard!
I just started learning to play the piano again. I am learning late in life and needed all of the help I could muster. So I researched, and researched and researched keyboards. Almost until the point where I was dizzy from all of the facts and figures coming back to me. And every time I started researching a new keyboard, the Yamaha DGX 640 kept winning out. I charted comparable facts. I graphed comparable facts. I mapped comparable facts. I compared and compared some more. And finally, I decided on the Yamaha DGX 640 and bought it.Now I have used it for two months, in conjunction with a wonderful online product called "Piano For All", which I completely recommend as well with five stars too.This is a fantastic keyboard. The voices alone are amazing. And if someone tells you that voices are not important, then consider this: When you get tired of practicing Hanon exercises or running scales, change the voice of the keyboard to a Harp, Violin, Guitar or Sitar...

Best in class digital piano if you are concerned about learning to play correctly
I recently did an exhaustive review of the digital piano world as I am trying to teach my children to play the piano. Accoustic pianos are not a choice due to the size, weight, cost, and tuning requirements. I love the idea of a piano that is always in tune (and can move if we move), but I wanted to be sure I was teaching my kids in a way that they could easily play a grand piano if presented with one. The biggest concern is muscle memory, and making sure their fingers are used to the feel of a real key.Roland makes some of the top-of-the-line pianos, but they also come with a high cost. I am sure the sound might be a bit better, but I could not justify the expense. I tried out some of the higher-end Yamaha pianos, and while I was impressed, still was shocked at the cost. The P85 was the lowest cost Yamaha piano I tried that seemed it could be good for teaching. It sounded nice, feature the weighted keys with "graded hammer standard" (GHS), and was reasonably portable...

Top notch portable piano.
After a year owning the Yamaha YPG 235 (still love it), I decided to move up to something more substantial, with weighted keys. My first gut reaction was a Kawai or Yamaha Clarinova, but the cost was a bit high, and I didn't like the fact that it was not portable. I wanted the features without the cost (typical consumer). So I looked at the P155.This keyboard comes with 4-level AWS sampling, 128 polyphonic and GH effect (Yamaha's best) weighted hammers. The features are in line with mid-level Clarinovas. Yamaha did a great job reproducing there top of the line grand piano, trouncing the YPG-235 and the YPG-635. There are subtle sound effects from a real piano reproduced, making the whole experience very realistic.The keys are extremely accurate, but somewhat heavy. The change over from the graded-tough YPG 235 to a super weighted keyboard took about 5 days. The advantage is being able to play on a real piano without the fatigue, now that the muscle in my hands have bulked...

Thanks to top-shelf Yamaha digital piano technologies, musicians don't have to choose between portability and piano quality- the quality you expect from a company that's been building world-class acoustic pianos for over a century.

Great Practice Piano, Nice Sound, Good Features
Dont expect a big difference in sound quality over the P-140 or you will be dissapointed. At most there may be an ever so slight increase in micro-dynamic expressiveness on softer, subtle passages (maybe that's the 4th layer?), but dont expect anything to jump out at you. I mean subtle! Not much difference in the decay versus the P-140. About the same. I owned them both. The action is heavy and responsive on the P-155 (same as P-140) which I like and the features are an improvement over the P-140. Given how inexpensive and small digital memory has become, it would be nice if Yamaha could give us a DP with a natural sounding decay instead of a looped one. On a real piano the harmonic overtones decay faster than lower fundementals. This sonic reality has not been incorporated into this instrument unfortunately. The P-155 does sound resampled, just not enough to show a really audible difference from the P-140. At soft levels its pretty good but at mezzo forte or louder decay is...

Attractive and nice sounding digital piano
We purchased our AP-620 from a local music store about a month ago. Our sons have been taking lessons for a few years now and don't seem to be loosing interest in continuing with it, so we decided tho upgrade from the cheapo $100 electronic keyboard we had to something closer to a real piano. We also wanted something that would look nice in our living room.They compared the feel of the Celviano AP-420's keyboard to the comparable Yamaha digital piano. While both were nice, they prefered the lighter feel of the Celviano to the somewhat heavier key action on the Yamaha.We decided to go with the AP-620 because while I'm not a musician, I am a tech/gadget person. For the extra $300, I liked all of the other instruments/sounds, rhythms, SD slot, having dedicated buttons for the features rather than holding down a function button and pressing a key on the keyboard, LCD screen, and more powerful amplifier. I also preferred the black of the AP-620 over the brown of the...

The Pictures Don't do it Justice
I upgraded from a Casio Privia to the Celviano 620 and my first introduction to it was helping the UPS man heft it from the truck and into my living room. The package, which is as big as most freezers, weighed 137 pounds. Once it was in the house I unpacked it, a job in itself as the packaging seems to be designed to withstand being dropped from a cliff. Short of utter destruction, I don't think any jostling or mishaps in route could penetrate the packaging enough to harm the contents.So what of the piano? It was simple to assemble, and although the blurb says two people are needed to assemble it, I did it by myself with my cat supervising the operation. The wooden cabinet is quite nice. The pictures on the internet don't do it justice, and the solidity and stability of the assembled unit is reassuring, especially if you engage in vigorous playing. This piano sits firmly in place and is going nowhere. I plugged it in and began playing with it. The feel of the keys...

Best Home Piano under 2k
It seems like there is a conspiracy among the other major digital piano makers. Yamaha, Roland, Kawai, Kurzweil: I'm looking at you. They utterly refuse to market a traditionally styled piano for under two thousand dollars MSRP. They have pianos in that price range that sound nice, but the "modesty panel" that takes the place of the traditional sound board only covers (at best) half the back of the piano. This tells the world, "look everybody, I bought a cheap piano." Fortunately, Casio breaks this cartel and makes the Celviano and AP620, Casio sells them both for well under 2k list. Both are traditionally-styled pianos, with good actions and good sound at a very competitive price. I bought the AP620 because it has more features at only a modest price premium, but the AP420 is a good value as...

Kawai Grand Piano

But instead Yamaha and their dealers like to distort the truth, because when it comes down to it, the biggest competition to Yamaha’s new piano sales is not just Kawai, but their own used pianos. Kawai has no problem with their used pianos made and once sold in Japan being sold in our shop along side with their own new pianos. The truth is these pianos (Yamaha, Kawai and their subsidiaries) are all made in air conditioned factories that set up each piano to withstand the extremes in climate from the dryness of the Arizona desert to the humidity of a New York summer. But still we encourage you to venture out and research for yourself about what a grey market piano is. One place that everyone can start and is probably the most trusted of sources is “The Piano Book” by Larry Fine.

GRAND PIANO FOR SALE: Kawai KG2D Living Room Grand Piano, 5’10″ (178cm). This company dominated the grand piano market for small and medium sized grand pianos, their pianos costing only a third to a half of the equivalent Steinway and achieved a more than respectable presence on the concert platform. Within a year, Koichi Kawai became the first to design and build a piano action in Japan and just one year later he had built his first grand piano. KAWAI The forerunner of today’s full line of Kawai grand and console pianos was manufactured in Japan in 1899. Kawai pianos are characterized by their extraordinary consistency of quality. The KG-2 was the largest selling size of grand piano in the world. As a child, he lived next door to Torakusu Yamaha (who had studied watch making under a British engineer) and at the age of 12 helped him build Japan’s first pianos.
