YAMAHA88-Key Weighted Action Portable Grand Digital Piano, Furniture Stand Sold Separately, Black, ‎167.64 x 45.72 x 20.32 cm (DGX670B)

After a thorough research, we settled on this piano. My daughter loves it. We have not explored all the options but it is worth every dollar

FINALLY! I demo'd this keyboard at a guitar center and instantly fell in love with the feel, features, and function. Firstly, I love the sound options, metronome, USB/MIDI capabilities, accompaniment, patch programming, and am sure I'll love the many other features I have yet to explore. I'm new to piano and have tested many other keyboards at Guitar Center and after playing this one, I knew this was the right choice. I'm no audiophile and the speakers sound great when I'm practicing at home or playing around with the family, and the headphone jack make it easy to quickly jump into my own world of playing. The USB out is perfect for connecting to a laptop and doing online lessons, and even playing my lessons through the speakers when I want. I'm also learning songs for church and the USB has been amazing to run Mainstage sounds through the piano speakers or headphones. All in all I love this keyboard and it's perfect for my situation. I'm no gigging musician, just a dad looking to learn to play, and this crosses off all the boxes for me. If you're on the fence, I definitely recommend a demo at your local guitar center or piano shop to see for yourself, but this has been one of the best purchases I've made in a while and can't recommend enough!

It’s everything I hoped it would be. Highly recommended.

Primary use: enjoyment and film/commercial scoring.I’ve owned Yamaha and other company’s Digital Grand Pianos, and Yamaha keyboards and a really great Yamaha arranger keyboard, and a few synths.Ok… there’s usually a number of trade offs with keyboards. If you want great digital acoustic piano sounds, the digital piano’s are more geared that way. Other keywords typically offer more voices, more settings, live control dials etc.… so I sold my keyboards awhile back and kept a great midi control keyboard, and a cheaper digital piano from another manufacturer.I don’t love playing that particular DP because the keys feel like piano keys and I’m used to softer touch keyboard keys.So I wanted to get another keyboard.I saw a ton of reviews on this one, and in every one (including basic cellphone recordings at stores) the sound was definitely great!So I took a chance, and ordered this.So… I’ve had it one day and so far, here’s my thoughts.Cons:1. Heavy. If you’re main goal is portability, you may not like this.2. Tons of stuff, voicings, settings etc that require a deep dive into the system.3. Built in speakers sound great but, aren’t going to cut it live at a noisy bar.Pros:1. Everything else.2. The sound… I mean, the sound is killer. I recorded a variation on a an old classic (I’m putting together for a social media ad I shot) and sent the rough cellphone video recording to a friend and they were blown away. Can’t wait to actually record on this.3. Everything seems to be adjustable, in the menus. I mean, so much that it’s crazy. I’ve owned Yamaha keyboards, and this has so many adjustable variables that I’ll probably be tripping over features I don’t even know are there for months.4. Keys are “weighted” according to ad… but they hit a sweet spot between heavy piano keys, and soft touch keyboard keys. Enough weight to really let you feel and control what your doing, but when you want organ, synth etc… you don’t feel like your fighting heavy piano keys. Easy playability.If the most important thing to you is a great sounding keyboard that’s basically staying in your house, studio etc… this is great, and I mean GREAT for the money. It’s not just the piano sound that has been improved, it’s so many other instruments too.If you want a portable keyboard for the stage, live gigs etc… you may want to look elsewhere, as size and weight would make this one cumbersome.For my use, I honestly can’t see a downside at all.Delivery was faster than expected and perfect. Box arrived completely undamaged… which is saying something for a package that I believe weighs in at over 60 pounds. This was definitely handled with care. And I truly appreciate that!I can’t speak to the stand. I own stands, so I only purchased the keyboard.

I love my DGX 670. I have had it for just over six months and play it nearly every day. At the time I bought it, I was upgrading from a 61 key beginner's piano but I knew I wanted something like this.I am currently learning via the Piano Adventures books and those have duet parts for the teacher to play. So, I have been learning the Teacher's part, recording it with the onboard recording feature and then playing a duet with myself.I have also played around with the accompaniment feature which is a great deal of fun. I've learned a few song by ear and my playing is Spartan for those songs so it is fun to have the accompaniment feature to liven my playing up.Now, if you are just starting out and not sure if you will stick with playing, this might be too much beast for your need and my 61 key beginner's piano did serve me well for my first year. So it is suitable for a dedicated beginner who desires a machine to grow into.I don't gig but I do wonder about its suitability for gigging. It is truly a portable grand piano but that means it ways 50 lbs and you can lug it around if you wish, it's not undoable, but do you want to do that? That is for each person to decide.Using the features is pretty easy. It has a nice, color display and it has a button called "Direct Access" which, when pressed, allows you to press another feature, say the built in metronome, and it lets you set the metronome as needed. It comes with a very nice owner's manual if you need extra help. And there are many tutorials online.Also, I bought a heavier X stand, actually a Z stand, I think it is called because my original x-stand just seemed too wobbly for a 50 lb instrument. I did not buy the optional stand nor did I purchase the three pedal option. At some point, I would like the three pedals but I don't know that I want the wooden stand. I'm sure someone has a tutorial on how to use the pedal system without the Yamaha stand.The bottom line this, this is a great piano and I'm sure I will be growing into it over the next few years. If I gig, I will probably get a lighter instrument and I will cross that path at that time.
