5.0 out of 5 stars Considerably better than anticipated!, October 11, 2008

(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
After having played the Yamaha YPG-535 88-key Portable Grand Piano Keyboard in a showroom and loving it, I was torn, wondering what all I would be missing out on if I went with the more economically priced YPG-235. I now own the 235 and it appears as if I am missing out on twelve keys. That is, I am not experiencing even an ounce of buyer's remorse after opting for the cheaper 235. This is a lovely keyboard with more beautiful voices than I will ever know what to do with and extremely user friendly functionality. Of course, my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt as I will be the first to admit that my experience with other products of this variety is extremely limited. As such, it might be best to say that, for a novice, one could not ask for a better instrument for the price.

So what is the difference between the 235... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A very nice electric piano, April 24, 2009
By 
SOu "fylloxera" (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews
I am a novice piano player, but for the price, this electric piano is fantastic. It works perfectly with Mac Garage Band (download Yamaha Mac drivers). The grand piano sample sounds like a real piano. The led display helps with reading notes.
There are 300+ samples, fun for the my nephews, and fun for me. It has a a nice resistive feeling between a real piano and a synth. The lower octaves have a heavier feel compared to the higher octaves.
For the serious novice or the pro that needs a nice inexpensive portable, this machine is a super bargain. In no way does this machine feel cheap. Yamaha created a wonderful machine, with the greatest respect for those on a budget.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome except for reverb in the F below middle C, March 26, 2011

This review is from: Yamaha YPG-235 76-key Portable Grand Graded-Action USB Keyboard (Electronics)
I really wanted a 76-key keyboard that would have a realistic piano sound as well as various beats and other sounds, and the ability to connect to my computer should I decide to get into composing music. So far, I've only used it as a piano and have played around a little with other voices and the beats. The piano sound is excellent! I like a few of the other sounds but most of them I don't care for. My main concern is that there is reverb in F below middle C that I don't hear in the other keys. I thought it must be defective (sounds that way to me) so I got a replacement. I have the same problem with the replacement. I have sensitive hearing so maybe that's the issue. It's not such a horrible reverb that it ruins my playing experience but it is a bit annoying. I figure that for $200 the quality is excellent - it's just that one note. I was aware, but maybe some are not, that the keys are not weighted like a piano. I think that my $200 was well spent. If I get really serious about... Read more
