Assembly

The piano comes flat-packed and is easy to assemble (instructions in English provided). The electronics and keyboard are fixed in - all you have to do is assemble the base.

There are four screws that fix the base to the keyboard, four to fix the base together and a few smaller screws to fit the back board. The screw holes are already made and no gluing is required. Even the screw driver is provided!

I do advise two people to do the job though - purely because of the keyboard's weight - It is heavy and safer to have a helping hand when lifting it on to the base.

Yamaha CLP330 Reviews

"The sound quality of the piano appears to be very crisp and clear and just like an acoustic piano"

I ordered the Yamaha CLP-330 in dark rosewood from Reidys.com on the evening of Friday 22nd January.  I chose the CLP-330 after reading your buyers guide and the very helpful e-mail you sent me, when I was leaning towards the CLP-340.  On reflection I am glad I took your advice as I am very pleased with the CLP-330.
 
To re-cap I ordered on Friday 22nd January and then on the following Tuesday had a phone call from Reidys to set up a delivery date of my choosing.  I chose Thursday 28th January, that was there earliest date, although they couldn't give me a time for delivery (I didn't really expect them to be able to anyway).
 
The delivery driver from Night Freight turned up at about 12.30.  Unfortunately he was on his own and being that the piano weighs 100Kg obviously needed my help to carry it into my property.  This would have posed a problem if my wife was taking delivery or an elderly relative was there to help.
Something to bear in mind with this type of delivery.
 
However that aside I think Reidys has been very professional and I have no complaints with there service.
 
Now down to the piano.  I don't think I have ever seen such well constructed and comprehensive packaging before.  I have kept it for future use should I need it.  Although the box is so big I am at a loss as to know where to store it.  At the moment it has been thrown in the garage.
 
Assembling the piano is very easy and the instructions are again very easy to follow.  Although you definitely need two people to lift the piano keyboard section out of the box and onto the frame once you have constructed it.  I will go on to say that all the parts went together with precision and ease.  This just backed up my opinion of Yamaha's quality of design and build being top notch.
 
The sound quality of the piano in my limited experience appears to be very crisp and clear and just like an acoustic piano.  And the feel and touch sensitivity of the keys is impressive I think for the money.
 
My daughter loves it and has really helped her get to grips with playing a full size piano.  What with full size keys, true touch sensitivity and pedals to progress with also.  Etc, Etc.  Her teacher is impressed with her progress as she moves forward to taking her Grade 1.
 
Oh Yes,  One final point.  I chose Dark Rosewood as it would be in-keeping with our other furniture.  In our case very good choice.  The deep colour and quality of finish looks very attractive and we have had several pleasing comments from friends when they have seen it.

"I am very happy with my purchase and have gotten used to the feel within 2 days"

Hi Graham

I had played piano as a child but gave it up 22 years ago. Since that time, I had played keyboards a little bit, but nothing intense. (I didn't learn anything new, just re-played a few classical pieces I learned as a child).

My wife recently gave birth to our second child and was at home most of the week, so she decided to take up the piano with proper weekly lessons. Watching her practice on our little keyboard inspired me to start up again, but our keyboard did not have the full range of keys (and was not weighted), so I started shopping around for a digital piano, but because I had not touched a piano for such a long time, they all felt weird to me.

However, I read your guide and reviews and decided to follow your advice. I decided to buy the Yamaha CLP 330 as it was #1 on your list (and also, the store gave me a bigger discount than the 320).

I am very happy with my purchase and have gotten used to the feel within 2 days. I find re-learning all my old pieces a lot easier than on the keyboards.

Thank you so much for your advice.

Questions and Comments on the Yamaha CLP330

Graham,

Yes I did, and thank you very much.  It has been very insightful.  My 6 yr old daughter is having lessons and up to now has been practising on a Yamaha 66 key keyboard.  I thought the time was right for us to upgrade to a digital piano ( because of restrictions on space ).  I think Yamaha is the way to go for us and I was thinking of the CLP 340 however after reading your report I think the CLP 330 would be o/k.  My only reservation would be that the 330 has 20 watt speakers and the 340 has 40 watt speakers thus producing a better quality and deeper sound.  However there is quite a difference in price and I am not sure whether the benefits would out way the extra cost.  Your opinion would be most appreciated. As for your report, very seldom have I come across such an impartial view that has been written so very well.

Once again Thank you very much,

I look forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Greg waterson

Reply/ Hi Greg

I would stick with the CLP330...

There's only a slight improvement in sound
and touch between the models. And this would
only be noticed by advanced players.

The CLP330 should see you daughter through
all her piano grades.

I wish her the best of luck!

Yours pianistically,

Graham Howard

Many thanks  - and in aswer to your latest email, I have  read it (several times,(!!!), and as a result , I would like to have the Yam. CLP 330 - your number one choice.... You do ask people to contact you for the best "buy", so may I double up on this email by answering  - Yes, received... and please where to go for your best buy

I think your writings on the piano are most informative, and I feel I now know so much more than I did before reading your work....

Regards...............nic

Reply/ Hi nic

There's a list of recommended and trusted stores and
websites in my digital piano guide.

The cheapest, but not necessarily the best, places
to buy are: Rocking Rooster, I-Musician, and
Umbrella Music.

Check them out here:
www.ukpianos.co.uk/piano-shop-reviews.html

The stores I recommend are Thomann, and Reidys.

I've received excellent feedback from people who
have bought pianos from Thomann, or Reidys. Their
prices may not be as dirt cheap as the above sites,
but you will be well looked after if anything were to
go wrong before or after delivery of your piano.
