Yamaha P-121 BK 4-stars Reviews

Sopivan kokoinen

Etsinnässä oli juuri tämä välikoko, koska 61 kosketinta tuntuu loppuvan kesken ja 88 ei ole niin kätevä kanniskella ympäriinsä. Tahdoin myös sisäänrakennetut kaiuttimet. Mukana tullut pedaali oli melko huono. Säädöt ovat välillä vaikeita, kun pitää koskettimien välityksellä esim.transponoida, ja johtojen kiinnitys on vähän epäkätevästi takana syvennyksessä. Mutta riittää hyvin pienimuotoiseen duo-keikkailuun jopa omilla kajareillaan.

My saviour

I’ve been playing for 3 years. Bought a good piano (Roland HP704) for my living room, but was struggling to find a good instrument for my bedroom and on the road (not giggs, vacations for example). I want to play every day, everywhere. I first looked at a lightweight keyboard and bought it (Roland GO), but there was an enormous gap between my weighted, graded and ivory finished keys and a plastic thing which was easy to carry but, for me, hard to play. Actually, I hated it :)

So after long consideration, I finally found an instrument which I hoped fulfilled my needs and wound bridge the gap. After a week I can say: it does! The absolute positive about this keyboard is the action. It feels much more like a high end keyboard. Of course, everything is plastic, but the feel of the keys is excellent. That comes with a price: the piano itself looks a bit bulky and is quite heavy. You can carry it around, but I don’t think I’ll get it on a train.

Since I’m mainly key action and piano focused, I didn’t look at all the features in depth. And to be honest, it is hard to access all the features intuitively. I would say this is the downside of this piano. If you need a user manual to operate it, it is not user friendly. A small screen to access all features would have been better. Having said that, the piano has enough features. All the basic interfaces and functions are present. There is even a pedal included, but it is really light and feels more like a switch. But it works and it’s kind that they have included one.

So, in short:

Pro:

- GHS keyboard action is nice!

- sounds good

- portable, but...

Con:

- ...a bit bulky

- features need a manual

- pedal not the best

Great digital piano

I bought this digital piano because it has the option of being portable and being used with the optional stand and 3 pedal accessories, making it a lovely addition to the home. I also loved that it only has 73 keys which made it an ideal space saving solution (and it’s nice and light when carrying around). It sounds great and feels nice to play. My only issue is that it doesn’t have an led screen for navigating settings etc, so remembering all the shortcuts is quite hard and im often having to go back to the manual, but this isn’t enough to stop me from highly recommending it.
