"The CP5 piano is an overpriced, under-performer keyboard that will disappoint the customer. Yamaha ought to discontinue this ty" submitted January 1, 2012
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound:
The audio volume of the CP5 piano is about 25% that of an ipod. The quality of music is that of playing in an echo chamber. The noise of the keys produces a "thumping" noise which is actually louder than over 12 of the keys. Might as well purchase a 76 keyboard for a lot less.
Feature:
6 of the "special effects" produce no discernible change in the notes. The only difference is that a green LED light appears. There are 62 buttons and knobs to adjust. Many serve no purpose that affects the music. Some need to be pushed 2 to 3 times to "really " work. Flying an airplane is less demanding.
Ease of Use:
Product is defective and Yamaha support is none existent. Was told that the poor sound quality was because of "personal taste". I really do not know how the YouTube flyer was produced from this instrument. The sound, at maximum output, would only accommodate a very small room. The audience should be hearing impaired.
Quality:
It aesthetically is appealing. The product ought to be renamed the P5T instead of CP5. P...Poor Piano Poorly Put Together. The sound produced is inferior to a beginning Casio model
Value:
Buy a piece of cardboard and draw 88 keys on it . Play the cardboard while listening to an ipod with piano scores on it. It will save you some money and be a lot more enjoyable
Manufacturer Support:
The technical support returned a call after 2 days. He claimed that I was the first person to complain about this model (CP5). Essentially, I was not assisted in repair or replacement. Was told to "just contact the dealer".
The Wow Factor:
A very poor product that is not to be used by anyone more advanced than "Twinkle Twinkle" or "Chopsticks"
Overall:
Will be satisfied when I receive a refund. This is a keyboard that is not intuitive, not pleasant to listen or play, and not a keyboard to bring to a performance.
