YAMAHA YPT260 61-Key Portable Keyboard with Power Adapter (Amazon-Exclusive)

I am really happy with this instrument, and surprised at the quality of the sound and the price. I've always liked Yamaha products, motorcycles, tuner/amplifiers, guitars, and now keyboards. It's been awhile since I've bought anything, so was a little concerned whether the quality was still there. I'm happy to say the quality is still there! This device has many diff sounds and options, but all I really wanted was a piano type keyboard, and this one fits the bill. The keys are full size, the touch is fine, and it really sounds like a piano. I fiddled with a cpl other optional sounds, guitar, voice (chorale, really pretty), I guess Grand Piano is the default. I'm not an expert, I can't address what qualities make a good piano good, but for my beginning needs and questionable talent this keyboard is just right. It's light enough that I can move it around, set it on a coffee table ( it has soft pads, won't scratch anything) or whatever; just plug it in and play. 61(full size) keys is plenty for me, and makes the size good for serious work while still being portable. Tones gradually fade if you keep the keys depressed, like a piano, or stop abruptly if you raise up your fingers. I believe a Sustain pedal is available, plus a stand if you need one (I don't). I haven't hooked it up to any other devices, spkrs or whatever, but the sound from the instrument is better than I expected and all I need for now...and plenty loud enough; I just had it on about 1/4 volume. I bought it to replace a Casio I had yrs ago, and every thing about this keyboard is better than my old Casio, and $50 less in price(the Casio did have a stand, and no complaints). It may not be a professional type electric piano, but it's def not a toy. I'm very happy with this purchase!

I've really enjoyed relearning to play piano with this keyboard. It's relatively inexpensive but packed with features, voices, rhythms and lots of helpful extras. I've been at it for four weeks, and still feel like I've only scratched the surface of what this instrument can do. The instructions could be a bit more detailed, but the user interface is designed well enough that I'm able to figure out things as I go along. Very happy with my choice. Plus it's light and compact for easy storage and transport.

Please understand, before reading this, that this our first and only keyboard, so we don't have anything to compare it to. That being said, we love it. It all started with our 12 yr old daughter asking if she could give us the money to buy her a keyboard on Amazon. My wife and I discussed it and decided to just buy it as we felt we would all play with it. We did some research and read reviews for keyboards in the lower price range and we decided on this Yamaha. My wife hasn't used it and after spending a little bit of time I have decided that playing the piano is not something I will ever be good at. Our kids, however, have played it daily since it arrived. Both of them can play multiple songs including Carol of the Bells, a couple of Linkin Park songs plus others that I dont recognize but sound good. Neither one of them have ever played a keyboard before. I set up an old tablet on the music stand and they find things on YouTube that they learn to play. Next up is online lessons using the tablet. I'm hoping that actually teaches them to read music and be abke to play by reading. Good: almost everything. Bad: there is only one sound level when you hit a key. Id like it to sound soft if you lightly touch a key or hard if you slam the key. It's not a huge problem at this stage of their learning though. Overall, we are VERY happy with this purchase!

A nice starter piano for my wife to brush up on her playing. It does not have analog keys, so it does not detect different strength presses on the keys. Just one intensity level when you press the keys. Has a ton of different voices and sounds and the learning mode is pretty cool. My wife is happy with it.

This keyboard is good for beginner piano players or for kids to have fun with. At least to start out with it has enough keys to learn and practice until one is ready to buy an expensive instrument. Has lots of features such as recording and sound effects that would make it fun for kids. I am using it to learn the basics of piano and with the headset jack I don't disturb everyone else with constant plinking. The keys are not velocity keys nor weighted they make one sound when touched. It does not sound tinny and can play kind of loud. I am happy with it especially for the price it is a good bargain.

Very easy to figure out very easy to learn. I love it wish I would’ve learned this much sooner in life lol

This is a compact, realistic, quality practice piano. I'd studied piano many years ago, reaching intermediate level, but gave up practicing because of time and noise limitations. I now have time. And the excellent headphones eliminate any noise concerns. With the Grand Piano function this sounds realistic, much like my old spinet. The action of the keys - though not weighted - feel like real piano keys and are the same size. I bought this to bring my former skills up to speed again. Eventually I will probably opt for a full 88-key Yamaha with weighted keys. The various voices can add variety but I use the instrument solely as a piano. It's lightweight, can be stored under a bed or in a closet. I'm very pleased with the tone, pitch, and full sized keys. For a starter piano, this is excellent and Yamaha is a name you can trust. For Amazon's price you can't beat this considering its superior quality.

We purchased this keyboard as a Christmas present for one of our grandsons who was 12 at the time. He was beyond thrilled and immediately started playing around with all the different sounds it could make. We had a hard time getting him away from it long enough to open the rest of his Christmas presents. This continued until his parents headed home. I am sure this is not for everyone but if you need a starter piano/keyboard I highly recommend this one.

No me gustó el cargador, pues el cable es muy delgado y frágil.
