Yamaha YPG-235 76-Key Portable Grand Piano Premium Pack
If you’re looking for a reasonably priced piano replacement, look no further than the YPG-235. It is the music student or professional musicians’ answer to “I need more keys!” and many music teachers encourage new students to get a keyboard that will grow with their needs. It features 76 non-weighted keys that not only look like piano keys but have a Graded Soft Touch (GST) action with different levels of resistance, making it easier for a budding musician to move to an acoustic or digital piano. The YPG-235 delivers on its piano theme with a special mode of fingering called Full Keyboard Mode. This allows the player to play the keyboard like a piano; for example a chord with the right hand and bass notes with the left. When using the accompaniment feature, the virtual band will follow these chords. Traditional portable keyboards normally require you to chord on the left side of the keyboard, in the bass section, which is foreign to most piano players. The YPG-235 is also capable of this mode, for those who prefer it. The YPG-235 also has 30 built-in songs plus 70 more on included CD-ROM for you to learn to play using the Yamaha Education Suite. The songs are separated into left and right hand parts, providing 7 levels of lessons plus a convenient chord dictionary. This package includes a pair of professional closed-cup headphones, X-style keyboard stand, and power supply.

Loud, clear, lots of features, and outstanding value! As a value shopper, I also look for products that are a good middle of the road in quality, longevity, and features. Because let’s face it, no matter how cheap something is if it falls apart or doesn’t do what you want it to it really wasn’t worth it.Too many times have I been taken in by price to find out I paid less…for a piece of junk. That’s why I really appreciate the reviews on Amazon (and other sites). It’s great to have a good cross-section of thoughts and opinions…
Nice instrument Purchased for our 11 year old son – he has a lot of fun with it, it is versatile and well-made. We were able to start piano lessons on it – the “piano” channel is quite good. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because, although I knew it was not a full keyboard, it is not a centered keyboard (which I didn’t realize) – so, middle C is not in the middle . . .so, for someone who is used to a real piano, it is off-putting. I don’t know why I didn’t see it in the description so just want…
