This keyboard is great for performances and recording. I love the feel of the keys and the excellent sound it makes. It is an amazing piece of equipment.

Although this keyboard has many useful features, it does not have MIDI in or out connections. This limits your use to this keyboard alone and you cannot use it to control other pieces of equipment such as a sound module. It was my own fault for not checking to see if it had MIDI connections, but MIDI is standard even on $100.00 keyboards. Next time I will check to make sure the keyboard I'm buying has a power cord.

Please don't buy this like I did and wind up regretting it. The sound is nice and the features are impressive, but as far as the action and overall feel is concerned, the YPG-635 is a piece of junk. If your idea of a good keyboard is a realistic-feeling one, steer clear. The action is irritatingly light and the keys feel like cheap plastic. You'll feel like hitting this thing with a hammer, especially if you often switch back and forth between it and an acoustic piano. It has some cool sounds, but the bad attributes outweigh the good. Save your money and go with a similarly priced but higher quality keyboard of another brand. (Or better yet, a real piano if your circumstances allow it!)

Overview - Love this keyboard, great action, good sound through speaker, better sound through headphones.Detail - I wanted a keyboard that I could just sit down and play on a moments notice like a regular acoustic piano. But I also wanted the option of recording into a laptop. This product gives you both in spades.I love the action. You can pound or play lightly and it responds accordingly.I also have it hooked to a dedicated laptop through a yamaha adaptor to write and record with.I'm using Acoustica software for recording and everything seems to work very well. I say seems, because I'm a novice with the new digital recording techniques. I'm from the old school.So take my digital review with a little caution since I'm new to this realm.I really really like this keyboard and would recommend to anyone. I read the speaker complaints and haven't had any problem with that. And most of the time, I play through headphones and/or into the laptop.

This keyboard is great and has a nice sound quality for a keyboard. There was only a small problem because mine got a kind of fuzzy band across it too. But that didn't bother me cause I can still see. Overall great keyboard.

When i first bought this keyboard i loved it and couldnt quit playing it. After a while i noticed it would rattle a little and the speakers would pop, which was quit annoying. Now no matter how low the volume is the thing will rattle like crazy and the speakers will pop and its only getting worse. Ive only had it less then a year and I've have taken tremedously good care of it. It looks nice and has some great features but i cant get over the poor sound quality, which in my opinion is why most of us are paying this much for it so overall i would not get this keyboard unless you plan on playing through headphones (which sounds amazing). I think the whole problem with it is the speakers which i might replace later on down the road.

This keyboard is a living nightmare! I've had it for less than a month and I want to take it and throw it off of a very tall building. First, a nasty scratching developed in my E above middle C because the morons installed a key assembly that had a burr in the plastic (buy the way the keys are like legos once you get to see them). Spent 60 dollars to get it fixed and the next day I noticed ANOTHER KEY DOING THE SAME THING!... NIGHTMARE KEYBOARD! Also if you turn up past halfway the whole thing starts RATTLING LIKE CRAZY! COMPLETE JUNK! The songs, voices and lesson features are nice but does not even come close to making up for the lack of quality in this product! Please don't ignore this review unless you want to be stuck with a piece of junk. Save your pennies for a Roland guys...you'll be thanking yourself in the end instead of kicking yourself! ...general rule of thumb: If you don't spend at least $1500 on a digital piano, you'll be trying to sell a plastic hunk of junk before you know it. Guess I had to learn this the hard way.

Ive played this keyboard a lot at my church and it has never dissapointed me. It looks really cool especially with the wood feel that it has.Despite the fact that its a nice keyboard, I dont know if I would by one because the price seems a little steep. Even so, it sounds nice, has a lot of cool sounds, and feels really nice to play.

We purchased this keyboard for our 3 kids who will be taking piano lessons. We live in the Virgin Islands, so a conventional piano is not an option. This piano / keyboard is unbelievable! It sounds perfect and has the look and feel of a traditional piano. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a good quality product at a reasonable price.

Great piano! Not just a piano, but a really nice keyboard too. We got this piano a couple of years ago when they were relatively new. The keys feel very nice. The base is attractive and very stable. There is only one complaint we have had with this piano and that is with the screen. At about 18 months the screen developed some kind of distortion, kind of a fuzzy band across it. The piano is still usable and the screen too, but it does worry and count as a complaint. In every other way it has been satisfactory. We'd give it 5 stars if not for the display flaw.It works great for playing modern music and recording. Srves equally as well when playing standards, christmas carols and classical too.Maybe Yamaha will help get that screen right and we can make it 5 stars.
