Customer Reviews

By Tritone (United States)
Pros:
1) Sounds like a Yamaha Grand Piano.
2) Touch/feels like a Yamaha Grand Piano
3) Considering the sound and the touch - the price is unbelievable.


Cons:
1) It has 2 built-in speakers which leave a LOT to be desired. The guy at the music store handed me a pair of Yamaha headphones - the difference in the sound quality was incredible.

2) He also recommended a Z stand for it which sells for 49 bucks. It is more stable that the standard X stand.

3) It comes with a really cheap sustain pedal. Amazon is showing a good option in the "Customers who bought this item also bought" M-Audio SP-2 US65010 $25 pedal.

4) And finally, I'm with the reviewer that said, "Where are my stage outs?" - especially when you consider the quality of the onboard speakers.
