Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
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.

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.

Features
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 . read more 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"

Musical Background:
Piano x 16 years
