76 keys ample; Excellent sound
By A Customer
I had been practicing on a 60 keys or so keyboard, that didn't have touch sensitivity, when I got into more advanced music. My left hand started running out of keys! This became very irritating very fast. So I set out to find a remedy. After sifting through almost all the keyboards , I decided on this one. The main reason was the 76 keys. When it arrived, I quickly plugged in and started playing. I was used to practicing with my other keyboard in my lap, but don't try it with this one! Get a keyboard stand as it is way too heavy! Anyway, the first thing I noticed was how realistic the sound was. And it had touch sensitivity too! The pieces I was playing sounded really good! There are also tons of different effects. You can make it sound like you are playing in a concert hall! I was really pleased with my purchase and my playing times became longer.
Then I tried taking the lessons that it includes. I was able to learn the right hand parts of songs when only one note gets played at a time. However I think someone recorded the song on the keyboard manually instead of by computer. The notes come out irregular when the pianist playes multiple notes with one hand in songs like Nocturne. I solved the problem by buying the sheet music for it. However I didn't buy the keyboard for lessons so it is a non-issue for me.
Now we come to the only thing I am really frustrated about. I have started playing really advanced pieces like Toccata & Fugue in D minor, Nocturnes, Ballades, and Sonatas. They will sometimes run off the board! Most of the time there is more than one note being pressed by the left hand so it doesn't sound quite as bad. But it unnerves me!
I don't mean to complain too much about this product as it is very good other than the lack of extra keys. For most people, 76 keys is more than enough. I'll just have to get a real piano sometime. But if you are thinking of getting a keyboard, don't even look at the others, you search has ended here.

By A Customer
I am a guitarist and a pianist. I have a gibson guitar and a yamaha piano. I shopped around for keyboards several days, playing all casio and yamaha keyboards below ...If you want a keyboard that sounds like a piano, look no further, the yamaha models ... offer very good piano sound. Sure, it's a keyboard, so without amplifiers, it won't sound as impressive and loud, but the essence is definitely here. Yamaha keyboards do sound like pianos.But all other instruments sound like kid's toys to me, definitely not like proper guitars or violins.If you don't own a piano and need a keyboard to practice (a cheap second hand piano would cost you at least $1000), the yamaha keyboards are good value options.

I have a PSR225 but I wanted this keyboard mainly for it's 76 keys! Some song I could not play all the notes because I would simplay run out of keys this solved that problem. The bass boost feature is also very nice would recommend anyone who want to have some great technology at a great price to get this keyboard.
