So, I'd like to cover one relatively small disappointment: the maximum volume. The built-in speakers seem decent enough, but the keyboard needs to be played at maximum volume in order to be heard. We bought this keyboard so that a parent could play along with our kid during practice. We have an upright piano with above-average projection (i. e. , loudness). The YPG-635 isn't as loud as our acoustic upright even at maximum volume, so we find ourselves playing with the volume set to max most of the time. Most people probably won't find this a limitation, but if you want to perform for a small group with this keyboard, you may want external amplification. BTW, this keyboard appears to be identical to the DGX-630, so buy whichever is less expensive. Rating: 4 / 5 The other reviews cover the good points: the keyboard, the sounds, and the features.

It feels and sounds just like a real piano, not to mention the other 500 sounds you can get from it. We were looking for something for our 9 yr old son to start piano lessons on without buying a piano that might just gather dust in a few years. The entire family has been enjoying this keyboard. In fact, our kids are choosing to play it over video games and tv. It has great sound, even without an amplifier, and is very easy to use. It has enough features to keep our children entertained for hours and yet still has the ability to sound and feel like a real piano for serious practice. It is well worth the price.

Thompson Tue, 01 Dec 2009 00:30:41 +0000 http://grandpianosforsaleonline.com/yamaha-ypg-635-88-key-weighted-portable-grand-piano/#comment-49 I have been wanting to upgrade my keyboard for a while, and I finally decided that I was ready for the investment. I wanted to do it right. I live in an apartment, so I wanted to play a "real" piano in a more manageable way. I only did a few hours of research, and it seemed to be clear that Yamaha manufactures solid digital pianos and are the industry leader. The YPG-635 seemed to be right in my budget and had everything I wanted. I bought the item with one-day shipping because I couldn't wait. The keyboard rocks. I love the design/look and the feel of the weighted keys. The assembly was painless. The sound is simply amazing. Although the maximum volume is not as loud as I would imagine, the internal amp and speakers always supply a clean, crisp sound. The voices are great. The Live! Grand Piano effect sounds just the grand piano I played as a kid at the ole 'rents house. I highly recommend this digital piano for all novice piano players. I am almost certain that this is the best digital you can buy under $1000.

I like the action of the keys and the "ease of use". I have played many keyboards the past 20 years and this is one of my favorites. Although the sound reproduction through the speakers is very good, there is nothing like a good set of headphones attached. Close your eyes and it's easy to imagine the original instrument playing.

I bought this so that my son could learn to play the piano. This keyboard is working fine for this purpose. It has all the keys of grand piano, and they are weighted which his teacher says is important. My son tells me the keys on the Yamaha are a little harder to press than the piano his music teacher uses for his lessons. I suppose that's better than being easier to press. He has to build up his finger strength. The teacher's piano is not a grand. I don't know how the Yamaha's keys compare to a grand piano's. My son also enjoys all the different voices on the Yamaha, when he's just fooling around. Maybe this will help keep his interest. Time will tell. My family is very pleased with this keyboard, and recommend it to others. Rating: 5 / 5 I am not musically inclined. I bought this so that my son could learn to play the piano.
