Yamaha NP-V60 Piaggero 76-Key Digital Piano

No longer available at zZounds
Fine-tune your sound with this Yamaha digital piano's built-in reverb, chorus and EQ, and enjoy enhanced feel with a Graded Soft Touch keyboard.

In both design and playability, Yamaha NP-V60 Piaggero embodies the almost lyrical combination of "piano" and "leggero" - Italian for "light" - that constitutes its name. Piaggero provides go-anywhere portability and style while also delivering Yamaha's legendary piano touch & tone. Whether you're taking up piano for the first time or recapturing your musical passion, the Piaggero offers easy-going piano fun.

Touch of Class

To recreate the playability of an acoustic piano, Piaggero features Yamaha's own Graded Soft Touch (GST) keyboard, giving keys in the lower octave a heavier touch than those in the upper octaves. While this scaled level of resistance is graded for a piano-like response, the keys themselves are not weighted for the sake of portability. This brings the NP-V60 in at less than 14 pounds but still provides a touch that all pianists can appreciate.

Essential Voices

Along with superb grand piano sound, Piaggero features a number of popular instrument Voices, such as organ, strings, and guitar all recorded using Yamaha's AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) stereo sampling technology for amazingly true-to-life sound. And for a complete orchestra of sonic options, Piaggero includes XGlite Voices and drum/SFX kits. This ensures compatibility with the wealth of Standard-MIDI and XG song files available today.

Perform with Style

Piaggero NP-V60 boasts 160 preset Styles -- from the basic rock and jazz beats to contemporary electronic rhythms -- that follow and read more backup the performer with dynamically responsive accompaniment. Every Style is essentially a backup band of virtual virtuosos ready to follow your lead. Piaggero Styles all feature custom intros, variations, and endings giving you total control over your arrangement. Go ahead and play a couple of extra verses at the end of your performance... Piaggero can handle it.

Piaggero Takes Requests

At the touch of a button, Piaggero's Music Database offers pre-set combinations of Styles, Voices, effects and tempos based on the song you'd like to perform. Music Database is not jukebox or playback device... it's a feature that you use to quickly set up the Piaggero so you can play your favorite songs. As songs become popular, Piaggero's Music Database stays with the times because additional titles can be downloaded from the internet on your PC and transferred via USB. It's the never-ending set list.

"Yamaha Piagerro Review"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
Very expressive tones and pretty good piano voice. It sounds pretty good when I am in the studio and its sounds better when I perform live.
Features
For the price, I can't complain. The highlight is that it is a USB keyboard and I could use it as a MIDI controller.
Ease of Use
When I got it, I opened the box, plugged it in and started playing. The Piagerro is very straightforward....the way it should be.
Quality
Very well made...already been in transport in and out of the studio and I am very impressed with the way it holds together, for such a light keyboard.
Value
Yamaha Piaggero NPV-60. It's a Yamaha...I'm sure it speaks for itself.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't dealt with customer support yet...but when you are busy, you shouldn't have to.
