cool keyboards June 6, 2010

Our daughter needed an electric keyboard with "weighted" keys. She loves this one. We were influenced to get this one due to the fact that her music teacher gives lessons on one!

I've had this piano for about two months, and I absolutely love it! It's obviously not the same as a real piano, but it comes darn close! It has great sound, and I love being able to adjust the volume or wear headphones so I don't disturb the neighbors. If you don't have the space for a real piano but want a great sound and enjoyable playing experience, you won't be disappointed. The pedals act just like they do on a real piano, and the weighted keys and touch sensitivity make this keyboard a joy to play. I suggest that you check out some of the videos you can find online to see how it plays and sounds. Highly recommended!
A decent digital piano December 29, 2009

It doesn't disappoint me so far. Perfect for casual playing, need not to worry about disturbing your neighbors coz you can either wear headset or turn the volume down. It fits well with my condo space and look too! I am glad I bought it.
Very pleased December 7, 2009

We were looking for a piano to teach our kids how to play the right way on an instrument that would fit into our small house and small budget. We opted not to go with a typical synthesizer keyboard to avoid bad habits early due to the different action / sound of a typical keyboard/synth vs. a true piano.
That said, we're very pleased with the YDP-160:
- The action of the keys feels top-notch, just like the real thing
- Sound quality is excellent
- Finish and quality of materials is very high
- Includes a nice, padded piano bench (fine for one butt, maybe tight for duets)
- Has three pedals like a real piano (something a synth usually lacks)
- Very few distracting buttons/modes to distract a student
A concert pianist I'm not, but we're very pleased with this option vs. a spinet or small upright.
very good quality June 3, 2009

A year ago, I was looking for an inexpensive digital piano. After sampling several options at places like Guitar Center and the like, I reduced my choices to three: the YDP-160 and Casio's PX800 and AP200. Despite costing a lot more, I went with the Yamaha.
After almost daily (OK, nightly) use, I can say in full confidence that I'm happy with the choice I made.
Unlike the Casios, the Yamaha piano is sturdy. Unlike the Casios, the key action is very realistic and the sound generation excellent, with nice and well rounded warmth and color. Yes, it's not a real, mechanical piano, but when you play it it feels very natural.
The only downside I can think of is the output power, which, at 2x20W(?), is not enough to fill a large room. It's more than OK for the kid's practice and I'm using the headphones when playing so this is not an issue.
If you're no ready to spend the money on a Clavinova (or even an upright) but want a good-sounding, quality digital piano, look no further.
