I bought my Yamaha CLP240 from a piano shop in central London. It was delivered flat-packed so I had to assemble it. It was quite easy though, the instructions were clear and it was just a matter of screwing it together. I needed a bit of help to lift the keyboard part onto the stand as it was quite heavy!
I am very happy with the amount of voices and instrument sounds the CLP240 has. I get to play church organ, harpsichord, electric piano and grand piano just by pressing a button.
The keyboard’s feel is a little different to my teacher’s upright piano. The touch and movement of the keys is suitable to practice on up until a certain point. The main problem is the transition from my Yamaha digital piano to my teacher’s acoustic piano. I find it quite difficult to get used to the heavier touch that my teacher’s piano has.
The Yamaha CLP240’s sound though, is absolutely brilliant! I tested other digitals out and even the best Roland didn’t come near to the CLP240.
I think the Yamaha CLP240 is a complete package for a beginner or more experienced player to learn on. I do feel that I will upgrading to a real piano once I reach about grade 6.
