Questions

Hi Graham,

I am thinking to own a Yamaha CVP 509. I wonder is this piano suitable for teaching? Is the touch truly similar to grand piano? How about for recording my music?

I appreciate your advice.

Sincerely, Ronny

Reply/ Hi Ronny

The Yamaha CVP509 would be suitable for teaching…

it’s one of Yamaha’s finest digital pianos.

But you are paying a lot of extra money for the

added features. By features I mean instrumental

voices, percussion sounds, etc. etc.

You would probably be better off getting the

Yamaha CLP340… it also has a good sound and touch.

It doesn’t have all those features, so it costs

considerably less. But it does have the recording

option you asked about.

Yours pianistically,
