Shop For Yamaha YPT400AD Portable Electronic keyboard w/ 61 Full Size touch sensitive keys

I am not a professional musician, but I have dabbled in music most of my life without ever settling on a specific instrument (I did blow a mean blues harp in the eighties). I was recently inspired to pick up an inexpensive keyboard after watching a PBS special demonstrating just how easy it is play the piano...as long as you're not expecting to become a classically trained concerto master, anyway. Heck, if I can handle a typewriter keyboard, then I might have enough dexterity to fumble out a song or two during the holidays, eh?

I studied all the choices, price ranges, features and options here on amazon.com before settling on the Yamaha YPT-400AD. I would have preferred to purchase the YPT-400MS since it also comes with a keyboard stand, but it was only a few bucks extra to buy a stand separately, and I was in too much of a hurry to wait two months for it to be delivered.

Yamaha YPT400MS Portable Electronic Keyboard with 61 Full Size Touch Sensitive Keys and Keyboard Stand

In case you wondered, YES, THE YPT-400AD COMES WITH THE AC ADAPTER INCLUDED IN THE BOX. An important consideration for me, since I prefer not to leave a steaming trail of used batteries behind me when I leave the planet.

Simple to use, but extremely powerful with all the included features that Yamaha so thoughtfully included in this keyboard. I had a spare USB (a-b) cable sitting around the house, and I was able to get connected to my PC running Windows Vista Ultimate in seconds. The included software is easy enough for even my own parents to install.

The most difficult part of my experience with this keyboard is knowing when to stop. I've had it in the house for almost a week, and I haven't spent a spare minute doing anything but playing around with it. The comprehensive documentation sits open nicely on the (also included) music stand so I can read while I explore the seemingly limitless options and create soundtracks for my home videos, and fiddle with the simple controls to make it sound like I'm making it sound that good on purpose...even though I'm really just hacking around right now.

Hope you like yours as much as I like mine!

Yamaha YPG-625 88-Key MIDI Digital Keyboard with Keyboard Stand Top Quality

After a lengthy search for a quality digital piano for myself to leisurely play and for my childrens piano classes,My wife and I settled on the YPG625. The setup was easy and 1 hour after unwrapping we were playing.The sound was great and the feel of the keys was excellent.

Then it became a mess. 3 days after receiving it the screen turned white and quit working.(the keys still made notes when pressed) I called Yamaha and requested to have another one shipped but they refused, instead wanting me to take to the nearset authorized retailer to be fixed. The retailer was 65 miles away and with our work schedule and the store hours this was not feasible.

I decided to keep the piano at home for the kids lessons until I could get Yamaha to send a replacement and I could return the original.

Within a week the whole piano quit working if left on for more than 15 minutes. After unplugging it and let it cool down, it would start working again( the screen still was not functioning), but each time the duration is getting shorter.

I am now awaiting an return authorization from Yamaha to ship it to them for repair. They will not swap out for a new one and they expect that I will be without a piano for 4 weeks. In this time i will lose about $200 for prepaid music lessons that I have no piano to teach or learn on.

In short this as been the biggest dissapointment of all my Amazon purchases and I cannot recomend Yamaha for any purchase.The product has had two major quality problems within 2 weeks and Yamaha's customer service is not willing to work with the customers needs.Get more detail about Yamaha YPG-625 88-Key MIDI Digital Keyboard with Keyboard Stand.
