zZounds Gear Experts Say...
76 key, 32 note polyphony

Starting with 76 piano-style "box" keys, and a 2-way ported speaker system, the DGX305 is something very different. It's your new piano - the piano that needs less space, less money and less help moving.

The DGX305 features Yamaha's Portable Grand function which lets you touch one button to transform it into a piano. And it's an amazing stereo grand piano sound that you will love playing.

It's also got 135 Styles that provide automatic accompaniment, plus the Y.E.S.3 training lessons, hundreds of extra-high quality sounds, on-screen score & lyric display, and even a 6-track sequencer to record your own songs.

Other features include SmartMedia card storage, 32-note polyphony, a pitch-bend wheel, plus Yamaha's Easy Song Arranger, which lets you change a song's style and always have a great accompaniment.

Yamaha has used all of their expertise in building real pianos to give you an outstanding electronic instrument in the DGX305. Our price includes a Yamaha's Survival Pack kit with the power supply and lots of other valuable accessories.

Best for the buck
Sound
High Quality Sounds, Real Piano sounds, in this price range $500 there's nothing better, It performs great in my church sessions, I carry this one to my practice lessons, and fulfill my current requirements will upgrade later probably in 2 years. Keys are not full weight however keys are sensitive and have an excellent touch rensponse. Tested with crate kxb15, roland kc-150 and alesis sumo 300 amps. it plays amazing with any of these all depends how many people have to cover.
Features
Useful features: usb port, stereo output, mmc slot, it's not as big and heavy as its dgx505 brother, so I don't have to break my back. Lcd screen is excellent, support for karaoke files but not kar files (you'll need to get a psr1500 for that). Basic recording features. Supports xg lite only. Currently it's more than enough for me. If you're are looking for full XG support get the PSR 1500 or P90(cost twice the price)
Ease of Use
Easy, easy, easy...Have a leaning mode for beginners.
Quality
Looks pretty well constructed.
Value
You won't find anything better for the price. Give you a try before to buy it, don't believe everything I say, listen yourself and you'll notice that Nothing compares(under $500)with yamaha piano sounds.
Manufacturer Support
I haven't dealt with them. fortunately!!
The Wow Factor
Don't expect motif sounds from this one, however it's piano sounds stands out from the competitors.
