Feature:
What features? You press the power button in the back, and you start playing. Perfectly fine with me. I've only had limited experience hooking it up to my computer via the MIDI port, but I will say that this works pretty good for playing back piano MIDIs, and for sequencing. I would get a bug, though, where after I stop the MIDI, the note that was playing just rings out forever, until I play some octaves in the bass to max the polyphony. I have no idea if this is an issue with the board itself, or with my soundcard.

Quality:
Sometimes when I play, I notice a very slight rattling in the board, somewhere around the C5 octave. But, usually, when i'm playing beautiful music at a decent volume, I can't hear it. :) I will say that the action in this board feels EXACTLY like a decent upright. I can say from experience that studying hard on this thing for a public performance (weddings, parties, etc), and playing an upright will feel just about exactly the same to you. The only thing that's weird is the volume curve. . .It's fine for what it is, but you have so much mor econtrol over dynamics on a piano, compared to this board. Not enough to throw you off, it's just you appreciate it all the more when you actually sit at an acoustic. Also, on the subject of the quality action, when you have the board about halfway up or more, you actually feel the vibrations going through the keys, just like on a piano. I am very impressed by this, and I always appreciate feeling the subtle, yet very noticeable when missing, feeling under my fingers. You won't get that vibration from Roland, Kurzweil, or Korg.

Desirability:
When I played this keyboard in the store, I definately wanted it. It doesn't look very great at all. . .black box, with keys on it. Simple, light, and effective. I give it a 10 just for being easy to carry, and for the great action.

Sound:
Alright, there's good and bad news regarding the piano sample: Good news: It sounds just like a grand piano. Bad News: It sounds just like a Yamaha grand piano. But aside from that personal preference, i'd have to say that this has a very good sound from midrange, to high. The low-end just seems to kind of, well. . .suck for anything more than "filler" octaves. . .Again, exactly like a Yamaha piano.

Support:
I've never had to deal with Yamaha, because I haven't had a problem with this board. At least not yet. . . I will say that there was a yamaha rep at the Guitar Center this baord was purchased from, and he was very nice and helpful. He got the store to throw in a bench, and a P4 Yamaha pedal at no additional cost.

Overall:
Even though I plan on getting a quality, hand-made European upright (Fell in love with a Chickering in Cherry finish. Has a sound better than 100,000 dollar grands i've played), i'll definately keep this keyboard just for playing at the occasional small gig, and music editing .

The built-in speaker system is specifically designed to reproduce all the tonal quality of the P60's voices including the built in digital reverb to add the ambiance of a concert hall to your living room.

The MIDI in/out allow you to expand the P60's musical and educational capabilities by connecting it to a home computer.
