Yamaha P120 Electronic Piano (Black)
Authentic piano sound. 2-track sequencer. MIDI interface.
"Get it NOW!"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:Could have included a pitch and mod wheel
Quality:
All metal bottom, sides are plastic but its very sturdy. I have had it for about a year now, I gig without a backup.
Value:
The best sound, touch, and overall value on the market today
Desirability:
I have the one that is wood, and I feel it looks good on stage or in my studio.
Sound:
The Piano sound is amazing!!!
Support:
My P120 took forever to be shipped because when I bought one there was such a demand for this baby I talked to the service people at Yamaha about 5 times and each time they were pretty helpful.
Overall:
AWESOME!
"If you know who Hanon is, buy this keyboard"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:Great (though squeaky) pedal, usable internal speakers. Wish it had mod and pitch wheels...
Quality:
A fantastic value; I've had it a year and there is no difference in the way it plays, sounds, or looks. I expect to have it for many years to come. Yamaha makes instruments.
Value:
What a gift it is to be able to afford a piano of this quality for this price. I've waited 30 years for this keyboard.
Desirability:
It's not sexy; get a triton or motif if you want sexy. If you want a piano that plays and sounds like a piano, particularly for jazz, blues and rock, this is the one.
Sound:
The pianos are the best I've heard;the electric pianos, organs, all top notch. Excellent keyboard. Pushing the two acoustic piano buttons at the same time gets you a nice octave sound, WHICH TRANSMITS OVER MIDI, for 12 string guitar parts, etc.
Support:
Never had to deal with them
Overall:
I have a 49 key midi controller sitting above this keyboard. With these two, I can rule the universe. I wish this keyboard had mod and pitch wheels, but there they are, right above.
Yamaha P120 Digital Piano Customer Review
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:Features are amazing, although it could have more voices
Quality:
Keys feel real
Sound:
Sounds real
Support:
Havent had to use it
"good board"
Feature:
It has what it is meant to have and does what it does well. A couple features could make this go from a great keyboard to an incredible one. If they added a horn/synth horn patch, that would come in really handy for me. Also, it would be REALLY handy to be able to loop the recordings. That's one of the first things I tried to do. Also it would be nice if the meters in the metronome went past 6. (gotta practice playing in 7!) The built-in speakers actually sound great and get quite loud. I've used them several times for small gigs. It's nice not having to be plugged into anything else to practice. hmm...it'd also be nice if there was a digital clock/timer on it. I lose track of time!
Quality:
It's very rugged. Mine has a scratch on it, but for the last 8 months it's pretty much been a rock.
Value:
This is a $1000 keyboard, in my opinion. If it addressed some of the things I think it could use, it would be worth $1200.
Desirability:
I don't think the wooden veneer is the most fetching look, but it's not bad. They could do better.
Sound:
Pianos are fantastic (though the variations lack variety), the Rhodes/Wurly are great, organs are OK. Harpsichord is pretty incredible; it has the sound of releasing a key. The strings and choir are great. The guitar is a bit weak. The electric bass is OK but the acoustic bass is pretty sad. I think the Acoustic Bass included in Garage Band sounds better. Also, when you split the piano/bass, the bass is too soft. You can probably configure it, but it should work from default.
Support:
Like another reviewer, my B-Stock came without a music stand and I went through the exact same thing - long wait on the phone, only to find out that it would cost me $115. Weak. However, that's my only experience with them, which I think speaks to the quality.
Overall:
I got a good price on this ($800) but I think I would replace it for >$1000. The most important thing about it is that the piano sounds incredible and the action is excellent. It's my reliable gigging board. I probably won't think about replacing it for a while unless Yamaha comes out with an improved version of it.

"Goody for ears, eyes, and fingers..."
5 Years ago I thought unsuperable A-90ex epiano and piano sounds.
Oh.. Today I tryed P-120 rhodes and piano fluidity in all styles (classical, latin and jazz, overall) and I've got to buy it.
So. The keyboard is gradued hammer (is perfect if you want to play also organ, strings, choir, gtrs... but remain excellent for piano playng). Quick functions are amazing (split sound choice "en volant" and split Key choice with the same button - Layer choicing yamaha typical, double pressing sound buttons!!!).
Also the live functions are pretty to use (Verb, Chorus and Key heaving, quickly choose).
Sorry for my English!

""A Beautiful Monstrosity!!!""
It has the best sound I have ever heard on a digital piano. The only drawback is the small speakers, but still just fine. Excellent, Fabricant, Fedroyant, Fantastique!!! It's incredible!!!
Yamaha P120 Digital Piano Customer Review
"This is a good instrument"
After trying the P80, I knew I liked the feel of the Yamaha keyboard. The P120 is basically the same keyboard, except that it is pre-amplified.
The on-board sounds range from excellent to good. But the reason why one should buy the P120 is not the sounds, nor the features. It is rather the realistic piano-like feel you get when playing the instrument.

"In it for the sounds!!"
Feature:
Not a features item, and I guess it wasn't made for that. No pitch benders, or arrpegiators or drum sets or any of that on there. But the basic features are there. The recording has a lot of space with is very useful.
Value:
For the sound it produces I think the price is quite descent. For people who want sound its great as it also includes very good speakers, so atleast you save money for the amp....temporarily atleast according to your preference.
Desirability:
Beautiful looking instrument.
Sound:
Probably the best piano sound out there in its price range or even more. I was thinking about picking something else but always came back to it. The other sounds are all pretty descent. For someone like me, good electric pianos are important and the Rhodes and Wurly sounds on it are both quite excellent.
Overall:
I love the sounds, all of them. It's pretty good looking, the speakers are excellent, and the keys' touch sensitivity makes it really really close to an acoustic piano..I like!!
