"IT'S A VERY POOR KEYBOARD IN SOUNDS QUALITY, IS A PITY!!!"

Overall: 1.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I had liked that this keyboard was better in sounds. It looks very well, but it is not thus with its sounds. In addition, not to be able to control the volume of each one is boring and the effects banks are poor. YAMAHA!!! :-)
Sound
Only the grand piano and some organs sounds are already good, but these are not like those of YAMAHA PSR series (E303, 295 or DGX). The others, aggg!, the same value: POOR!. Strings, Synth and brass are like metalists and without personality, something that Yamaha has taken care of in doing it in this type well of personal keyboards. I think that the sounds of this keyboard plays like a CT-395 or CTK-495.
Features
Well, USB connection is good. This keyboard offers several simple characteristics and of very easy handling. But, I consider that it would have to include the power adapter or a pedal sustain.
Ease of Use
Very easy to use. For a nascent one it's very well.
Quality
Sincerely, if you look for quality of sound, it's better than you buy a YAMAHA PSR-E303 or YAMAHA PSR-295. If what you look for is a accessible and easy to use keyboard, it will serve. In addition, the material is resistant, but the keys don't give a good sensation and are something smaller, although not note much.
Value
Ummm, it's not an expensive personal keyboard. Good for a new keyboardist.
Manufacturer Support
In Sweden, good phone support: IMMEDIATLY!. Congratulations!.
The Wow Factor
NO COMPARISON!!!, YAMAHA offers better personal keyboards to an equal price.
