Yamaha YDP-C71 Reviews

 

1) “We’ve been very pleased with our choice”

What struck us first about the Yamaha YDP C71 is the beautiful polished ebony finish. It looks almost like the

front 2 feet of a classic grand! Beyond that though, we were looking for a digital piano that most closely

replicated the touch, feel, and sound of a high quality conventional piano, and as we compared it to several

other Yamaha’s in the store we felt this one was our best choice.

After we got it home and I got it set up (the hardest part was dealing with the 68KG box, but packing quality

was excellent and instructions are easy to follow–even if they are awkwardly located at the BACK of the user

manual), we’ve been very pleased with our choice.

No “buyer’s remorse”, and it sounds even better in our home than at the store. Yep, it’s a bit expensive,

but you do get what you pay for. Not a lot of “bells and whistles” on this one, but it’s about as close to a

regular piano look, feel, and sound as we have seen.
