YAMAHA61 Touch Sensitive Keys Portable Keyboard for Beginners with Music Rest, Power Adapter PSR-E383

For the money, this is a great keyboard. I'm not a professional, but have played the piano for over 70 years. My Baldwin is no longer available and I needed something I could play the "outside" world couldn't hear. The touch is adjustable and key reaction feels good. The keys react to my touch-if I want louder I play harder. I haven't explored all the options but seems easy to program and use. I'm glad I got the 76 key model. It isn't something you give much thought to after playing a full piano keyboard, but you'd be surprised how much of the keyboard you do use!! Also, I bought a Yamaha sustain pedal and it is GREAT. The only suggestion I have is the plugin for the headset should be in front, otherwise you are going over the keyboard or around and it has a tendency to get caught under the keyboard. If you're not using a stand, measure the height of the table (or whatever you are using) and add the height measurement of the instrument and adjust for your comfortable playing height. I bought a booster seat to accommodate for the playing comfort. Easier on my arms, wrists and shoulders. The sound is wonderful. I would recommend this product. Good for a beginner, but great for those of us who have experience and play for our own enjoyment.

Exceptional Keyboard & Features!

I purchased this for my husband for Christmas because he mentioned wanting a piano. This was such a good buy for the brand, however, I returned it only because my husband decided he didn't want it. We never opened the box so I didn't see it. I'm basing my review on the cost for a top one brand and receiving it on time for Christmas.

It is a great instrument. Great price for the name brand. Sounds perfect.

Awesome

It came fast, and I was excited to play with it. But I noticed the volume on the speakers would increase and decreases spontaneously as I was playing, I also needed to crank the volume to max to be able to actually hear it. Anything lower, and it was barely audible. The sounds are great considering it's a yamaha, but i can't add other sounds, no firmware update (probably because it's newer), and after playing my roland rd-88, this keys on the yamaha are damn slippery! I needed weighted keys. But I love how light it is. I'll keep playing with it throughout the week to see how it feels, but the low volume, and keys are a bit of a turn off for me. I just wanted something light to put in my bedroom and be able to move around easily. I also found I should have purchased the 61key instead. I don't like to return things, but the slippery action has me straining my arms to stay on the keyboard. We'll see....

Love this for my great grandchildren to learn and play on. Good price.

Great keyboard. It does everything I wanted it to including being able to choose the octive. Easy to assemble and feels no different then the stand-up piano my mom had when I was a kid.
