Yamaha YPT210 keyboard – good deal
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Very pleased with this Yamaha keyboard. It is full size keyboard, and has a very good sound. It looks really nice with a purchased stand. Although it does not come with an AC adapter, it is easy to get one from other equipment, I got mine from an old Linksys Switch.

Sleek design, quality sound
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’ve owned my YPT-210 for two weeks now, after having purchased following a lot of research and consideration. This piano is ideal for any beginner wanting to learn the ropes of playing. As another reviewer points out, upon powering up, the piano reverts back to default settings – however, it is noted in the manual that if you simultaneously press down the lower volume key, and the power button, the piano will automatically start in silent mode. It’s a handy function, but buried in the user manual. Another reviewer mentioned the song list being on page 20 of the user manual being frustrating – there is a solution to this as well. If you register the piano on Yamaha’s website, you can download a ‘premium’ song book that is in pdf format. This thing has the full music sheets for all 102 songs programmed in the piano – a hefty 148 pages. I took the pdf on a flash drive to Kinkos, where they made a very professional-looking spiral bound copy for $19. (Well worth the investment).

Hopefully my review will help improve the experience of others, should they happen to glance over this. Other reviewers covered the pros and cons of this piano well, which ultimately led to my purchase decision, and I do not regret buying this piano. The piano looks ‘mature’ with it’s black color scheme (as opposed to the brushed steel-looking pianos you find elsewhere) and there are plenty of sounds and styles to toy around with. For $100, this piano seems like a bargain – avoid the amazon piano bundle – 5 minutes of research, and you’ll know immediately that the stand, and headphones, are garbage.

Chinsy but okay
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this keyboard because mine broke and I needed a new one. I didn’t have a lot of money, so I just got the cheapest one that I could find. It’s not that great of a keyboard, but it gets the job done. It is fine for someone who just wants to practice at home, and is still trying to get the technique. As someone stated above, the keys are not touch-sensitive – whether you hit the key woth all your might or barely press it, the volume produced is the same.

For beginners, I guess this keyboard will be okay for a while. For people like me, it’s just good enough for now, until I save up a bit for a better one.

Fun - good sound quality
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Our family already owns a $2800 Yamaha Clavinova Piano with weighted touch sensitive keys and sustain pedals that both my children use for in-home piano lessons (A very nice system) but it is not portable. I needed a keyboard to take with us to the grand parents for a Christmas recital and sing along and I am very pleased with this one. My 9yr old Son enjoys the added "fun sounds" and the "Grand Piano" mode is very close to the Clavinova and makes this purchase worth every penny of the $69 + $15 adapter price I paid. (Michigan ABC Warehouse sale price)

The fact that it also has real MIDI IN/OUT is great.. If you have not yet connected a MIDI keyboard to a computer/laptop you are in for a treat..my 9yr old (usually)prefers goofing with MIDI programs to his other video games.

I almost purchased a slightly cheaper CASIO model (which included a Stand and Adapter for $99) but my experience with great Yamaha stereo sound quality led me to purchase this model instead. A good choice.

Yamaha YPT210 keyboard

This keyboard is more than I expected. I purchased the keyboard for my twelve year old grandson for Christmas. I did not expect such a marvels instrument. My son, who is pianist, was amazed at its quality too.

Amazon, you do not disappoint your customers when we order not really knowing what to expect.

Many thanks to you all. Doris S.Donovan

Great value . . . my son loved it!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The product arrived on time and new as advertised. We gave it to my 25-year old x-Marine son for his birthday, just loving it. I just wish we could get Congress and the Democrats to be this good about promises and value.

Spoiler!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
We haven't opened this yet, so I can't give a technical review. Wanted to warn others that this ships in it's original box! I bought this as a Christmas present for my son, and it was waiting on our doorstep yesterday when he got home from school, so the surprise was ruined.

99.9% of everything I've ever ordered from Amazon comes in an Amazon shipping box. I order cases of food, and they even come inside another Amazon box. No such luck here.

I'm very dissapointed, and considering returning it just for this reason.
