Yamaha YPG 535 88-Key Grand Piano Keyboard offers recreational and professional piano players the experience of a lifetime. From its easy-to press keys to the superior solid sounds to its strikingly crafted aesthetics, Yamaha does deliver with this keyboard.
Firstly, I'd say Yamaha YPG 535 is a really flambuoyant piano keyboard. It looks pretty good, and Yamaha had lived up to its standards with this one. It just looks very state of the art. Dust doesn't even gather well on it.
It's quite a big board with 88 keys and due to that, you can easily bang it on walls and door frames on accident while lugging it around. But never be flabbergasted if you drop it and it still works. It is made to be that strong. The piano is very light, too. The stand is also incredibly tough. When bolted, it seems like one with the stand, and won't go off no matter what you do. Well, unless you unscrew it.
The keys are exceptionally simple to press, almost weightless, giving out those wonderfully crisp, clear, solid sounds, especially the middle octaves. And you are not restricted to piano voices, either. The interesting ones include maracas, electric piano, strings and even UFO, and it makes it really pleasurable to play with. The super metronome feature allows you to choose the beat of accompaniment. However, when you turn the volume all the way up, there seems to be a little bit of sound deformation as if the speakers can't handle all the pressure, and it's not easy to distinguish individual notes. Of course, just turn the volume lower to medium-high or even lower, and you don't have that problem anymore.
I am crazy about the record feature. It lets you record your performance, so you can have an balanced review, or, for tutors, one can first record a piece, then have the student follow the record. This is a exceptionally handy feature.
The Lyric and Chord music sheet is an awesome touch. It is a virtual score sheet which you can download from the net or record yourself. Additionally, you can select from the prearranged options. This makes it incredibly easy to learn songs if you are knowledgeable about reading score sheets.
Another cool addition is the instructional suite. It teaches non-piano players and beginners to play keyboards, in seven lessons.
This is an incredible piano keyboard that suits all skill levels. No skill at all, new players, intermediate and the expertplayers.
