"A nice sounding keyboard with a GREAT action for the price."
Feature:
Its really nice for the price. Again, if you are looking for a digital piano, this is very good for the buy. Its competitor is in my opinion the yamaha and the m-audio Prokeys 88.
Quality:
I like the feel of this keyboard, and that is the reason I bought it. I play piano. Piano is my thing. Im moving to Europe for a year as an exchange student and wanted my own piano to not drive ANYONE crazy for playing passages over and over again, etc. I was looking for a slab digital piano for a real decent price, and after SERIOUS looking, I settled for this one. If you like pianos with a harder action, settle with this one. Ive touched the others. Yamaha is significantly softer than this one (which made me not buy it) and the M-audio which I really was going to get, has the black keys indented in the keyboard, so they stick low and yes you can play it much easier that a real piano, but thats not what I want it for. I want a realistic feel. This piano does not feel cheap for the price.
Value:
I was able to get the keyboard off a shop.com for 440 plus handling to a grand total of $499. If you think about it if you are shopping for these keyboards, you will get what you pay for. We all want the $ 2500 keyboards, but its just not going to happen. This keyboard will give you what you pay for, and it is better overall than its competitors
Desirability:
Who wants a 599 keyboard lol. Its very nice for the price. its really all I need. However If I wanted to throw away a lot of money, or just found a need to get something better, I obviously would have. its real nice for the price dont get me wrong.
Sound:
You can tell that it is not an expensive keyboard. you get what you pay for. Nevertheless the sounds are pretty decent if thats not all you are looking for. The only sounds that Im really refering to are the piano sound. It sounds sampled and somtimes fake. the e-pianos sounds fine.
Ease of Use:
If you are good with common sense or were born in the last 30 years, you will have no problem with it.
Overall:
It feels REAL GOOD. thats why I bought it. 32 note polyphony. You have 10 fingers on yours hands. This about playing 12 note chords 3 times with the sustain pedal down. If you play a song like that, okay then, you might want a 128 Polyphony keyboard. But overall you will be fine with this one. If you want a pretty decent sounding "grandpiano" sound, with nice epiano sounds, want a Good expensive feel, and a SLAB (it feels sooo small.) this is your keyboard. If you are a pianist and need a cheap keyboard to practice on, but have access to a real piano, this is your keyboard. Why do I say that? Because this sound will not replace a true piano, or again a more expensive keyboard. a 4 year old should be able to pick it up fine. Its about that heavy. I give it a 8. good price. good feel. Its what I was looking for.

"Light, but solid, with excellent piano feel keys"
Feature:
Well it has almost all the features of ypg625, but without the lcd screen and the dial wheel and a lot less buttons to get them. so you need the manual to use them initially. I don't need them anyways (auto acco, etc). NO METRONOME!!! - this is serious! especially for practicing with headphones I had to connect my computer to line in with a metronome software
Quality:
Seems well made. Rock solid keys and core. the shell is plastic, but still very nice.
Value:
I think it is a very good deal. though ypg625 is close with wood stand, better look, usb, screen, and a more natural sound (but lighter keys).
Desirability:
it is very elegant. yes, you will like it!
Sound:
The default grand piano is a bit to bright for me. Even after lowering the brilliance, still there was something unnatural about it. No improvment through quality headphones. However the Mellow Piano voice was like a very good natural upright, which I ended up playing most time. Speakers are good, but not as good as yamaha ypg625 which I evaluated in the same time (which also had slightly more natural sound too). The keys have a slighty heavier feel than ypg625. I like this a lot.
Ease of Use:
if you just want piano is simple. If you need more you need to read the manual. After a few days though you feel pretty confortable. Still a clumsy old timer, button saving interface, but usable.
Support:
they responded quickly to my question
Overall:
Well, because of the keys and the lack of second pedal I kept the casio and returned the ypg625. I have connected to my computer and with a software piano (akoustic piano) now I also get an amazing sound. I will keep it for years to come.
