Reviews

The reasons I bought a Yamaha P85:

My 8 year-old son is learning to play the piano so we needed a piano for him.  That immediately meant we wanted a "proper"
piano sound with weighted keys and ruled most cheaper products. He had been practising on the school piano but the holidays were coming up and we needed something at home.

We live in a 450 year-old cottage so space is tight - we need something we can put out of the way when not in use(the harpsichords seem appropriate too!).

I took on board your comments about 64 note polyphony. 2 × 6 watts may not be very loud but small cottage, semi, thin party walls.

We bought it from Digital Village partly on price, partly because they gave a 4 year warranty (which my credit card provider will have to honour if they go bust) and partly because they could deliver within 48 hours (they got it to us the day before
the snow arrived - as it turned out).

It sits on an X stand.  The rounded underside can cause it to move around a bit - as can our uneven floor!.  I have a board in the garage and, when the weather is a bit warmer, I will cut it to size, cut out holes under the speakers and bolt it to the underside (there are captive nuts underneath it).  I will probably incorporate an arrangement to clip it to the X stand as well. 

We (or rather Father Christmas) got some cheap headphones for him in Argos so he can experiment with the sounds. 

Would I recommend it - well I am not a musician (though I can get a tune out of it) but yes - I think I would.  I imagine, if you have plenty of room/money, there are better choices but a month on it seems to be doing what we wanted.

Regards

Peter Turner

I bought the Yamaha P85 for my son to use in his room at Uni so he doesn't always have to book a practice room ! Main factors were price, brand name, and weighted keys. This has all three, and a realistic enough piano sound for the price. I dealt with Normans in Burton, who I had previously bought a trombone from, and the transaction was again successful in all respects.
No advice was involved, as I ordered online.

Questions and Comments

Dear Graham Howard,

I am a professional Opera singer and need a digital piano for
transportation to concerts. My piano will be played by professional
accompanists who need the sound and feel of a real piano. The piano
also needs to be easily transportable in a large Seat hatchback.

From the research I have done, the Yamaha seems to come out the best.

Could you advise me on the make and model that you would recommend.

Thank you

Pauline Birchall

Reply/ Hi Pauline

My advice is to try the new Yamaha P85:

You will need to have a decent keyboard amp to go
with this though. The amp makes ALL the difference.

Something like the Roland KC150:
