| Subject: | Now WHY DIDNT YAMAHA THINK OF THIS 5 YEARS AGO? |
| Quality:
| This Keyboard is absolutely Awesome. Simple, light, and it sounds incredible. How did they do that? I have been comparing it's grand piano and EP sounds to professional recordings in my collection and it just about matches. |
| Features:
| Siple features...just what I wanted. a Grand Piano that actually sounds like a GRAND PIANO. The other features are pretty cool...like i said...simple. Dual voice, midi, transpose. Pretty easy to learn how to get these things activated or modified. |
| Ease of Use:
| The manual is pretty clear. there nothing to it really. |
| Sound:
| ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE. How is it possible to get a $300 piano that sounds like a $3000 kurzweil? I don't get it. But i am thankful. |
| Action:
| The action (touch) is pretty ok...graded touch isnt exactly hammer action but i can get used to it. It's alot better than other keyboards and workstations that have no action at all. |
| Value:
| You can never beat this at this price. This is excellent stuff. Keep it up yamaha. |

| Subject: | Great Keyboard For The Price |
| Quality:
| This is a great quality keyboard for the price. |
| Features:
| My favorite features of this keyboard are its portability and its great authentic piano sound. However, it would be nice to have a separate button for key transpose instead of going through the menu. |
| Ease of Use:
| The keyboard is fairly easy to use, but for a beginner, it may help to read the manuals first. |
| Sound:
| The greatest feature of this keyboard - the authentic piano sound. I have a Yamaha P80, and the voices on the NP30 seem to be very similar if not the same. |
| Action:
| In reading some of the reviews, I was concerned about the action. It certainly would weigh alot more than 12 lbs if it had the weighted hammer action. Upon playing it, I was pleasantly surprised with the action...pretty decent for a lightweiht keyboard. |
| Value:
| This is a great quality keyboard for the price. Based on its portability and great authentic piano sound, it's worth the price. |

| Subject: | Finally! |
| Quality:
| I haven't gigged with it yet, but it seems well made. |
| Features:
| It's light weight! I might have the speakers in a different location. I'm not sure. It has what I need to be able to play anywhere and not hurt myself lugging a keyboard around. |
| Ease of Use:
| I got it out, plugged it in and was playing the different voices. Cool. Carried it around -- by myself --- FREEDOM!!!!! |
| Sound:
| Tone is good for a keyboard in this price range. The lower register sounds a little tinny from the built in speakers but sound fine through an amp. But overall, the tone is great, especially the piano sounds which is what I really want it for. |
| Action:
| Good. It was what I expected. It wasn't as good as an acoustic piano but not as bad as some synths I've played on. I'm usually a keyboard snob and refuse to buy a keyboard that doesn't have 88 full sized, fully weighted keys and graded hammer action -- comes from my classical training, but this suits my needs. Now I can hang with the guitar players and play anywhere, anytime. |
| Value:
| Yes, buy it now. Don't wait if you want to play. I put this thing under my arm and carried up upstairs in my house. It doesn't get any better than that. Now I can go to open mics like the singer songwriter guitar players! I still have my other Yamaha and my Triton. This is an additional keyboard for portability. And, because it doesn't break the bank it is worth adding to the gear collection. I would not recommend it for beginners, though. Beginners need a more piano-like feel and should start with an acoustic piano or the fully weighted digital 88 key model. This is not an instrument for a beginner to practice or learn technique on. |
