2 out of 10
Feature:
Very slim features, but all I wanted was a practice piano to save the wear and tear on my concert grand
Quality:
Overall seems very sturdy. But then Yamaha brags on their site about the great sound quality from the AWP sampling - don't believe it on this model!!
Value:
With the current rebate, it's getting closer to what it should be. Maybe with Behringer now coming out with a similar model for FAR less, Yamaha will start adjusting prices accordingly.
Desirability:
N/A - it's a digital piano.....
Sound:
If this is supposed to be a sampling of Yamaha's concert grand, they should be embarassed. I have played the CF111, and trust me, it doesn't sound anything like this. The sampled from notes actually out of tune, and a LOT of notes weren't even voiced properly before sampling. Yamaha - you should be ashamed!!! Extremely limited dynamic range and the Graded Hammer Effect is very bad (just heavy, clunky, and very noisy) on this model. I own a P80 - THAT is fabulous - the YDP323 is NOT!!
Ease of Use:
I guess once you get used to the panel button/key business, it's OK.
Support:
Not had to deal with support yet.
Overall:
Yamaha really should be embarassed to sell this model. It's not up to their usually fine standards.

Quality:
The quality in terms of construction and fit/finish is great. Looks good in my living room.
Value:
As it is a beginner piano, it is good enough for the price.
Desirability:
It is a pretty good piano in general. Given what I now know, I may actually buy P140S instead of this piano.
Sound:
Sound thin in lower volume. The speakers just do not pack the punch. I invested in a good pair of headphone and it sounds much better.
Ease of Use:
The GHE keys are a little on the stiff side after I compare it with real pianos (upright/grand)
