Yamaha YPT255 61-Key Keyboard Pack with Headphones, Power Supply, and Stand

The last time I played a piano was 50 years ago, and I wanted to play again. When I got this Yamaha keyboard, I was so excited. It can basically play the piano, but it has so much more. Tempos, chords, dance styles...it has everything and more that one would possibly want. The only thing it doesn't have is a full keyboard of 88 keys, it only has 61. When I get better at playing it, I will definitely upgrade to a full 88 keys! It's a great instrument to have!

I was excited to receive this keyboard as a way to advance my piano skills. I would say I'm an amateur and this keyboard does everything to suit my needs. It has more than enough instrument and voice settings for anyone looking to mess around with that. The keys sound and feel great when you press on them.Although I have not personally used the dual keyboard for a teacher, it is a very nifty feature to have on a keyboard, although there's not much indicating where the keyboard restarts for the student.You can play the keyboard whenever you want with the headphones so only you can hear. The volume knob has a good variety as well, so if you prefer, you can listen to yourself play very loudly.The automatic turning off feature is also nifty as sometimes you just forget to turn it off so it does it itself.All in all, for someone like me, it is a great keyboard to have. There could be more keys, but for the price it is perfect. There is even an option to add a sustain pedal if you like. If you need something from beginner to amateur, this is definitely a recommended keyboard.

I got this for my mom for Christmas. She has horrible arthritis, like her right fingers don't go straight anymore. But she always dabbled with the piano and this thing is perfect. She's not computer savvy and is able to fiddle with this like a pro. It's not bulky, so doesn't take up a lot of space. The earphones work well enough, just make sure you get the little piece out of the packaging because I almost missed it. Would buy again.

Fine for me taking up piano again and learning how to read music. It does not play the same as a piano and 61 keys is really too few.The unweighted keys will produce an extra note electronically if you don't fully take your fingers off the keys which is frustrating at times. As soon as I have learned how to read music and have more expertise I will upgrade to a keyboard with 76 weighted keys. This was very affordable and what I needed to get me started so I am satisfied with it. My piano instructor who has played professionally does not like it but I didn't want to invest a lot of money till I was sure I was going to stick with my intention to learn to play -- train my fingers to do what they are supposed to do -- and read music.

Got this for our daughter. She loves it. Great quality. Just have to be careful with this type of stand because it's not connected and if tilted the keyboard can fall off (we learned this the hard way). But overall a great package. The headphones are very nice not only for her but for the rest of the family (peace and quiet). :-)

Bought this as a Christmas present for my daughter who plays the violin but wanted to branch out into another instrument. This keyboard exceeded my expectations. There are so many voices, some fun and some instrumental. The sound and functionality are great. We had a blast playing with it and my daughter loves it!

Its a good starter piano. we had a casio before and got this as an updated version. I agree with other reviewers on the power supply. Can't believe its not included. Not sure how this is possible. You buy a toaster, blender, air pump, etc. etc. it comes with a power supply. I have heard great things about Yamaha from a friend that has a baby g. but when the kids opened the box and we had to find batteries to put in it! Disappointing.

This has such a satisfying key action, and the sound is such a pleasure. The sound is better than a $1000 unit I own with extended capability for creating my own music. I wish I had chosen the Yamaha brand for my uptic music production unit.
