"Very nice keyboard"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I am impressed with this one, and this encouraged me to buy the top of the line DGX 505.
Sound
I also have a Yamaha full size double keyboard organ (about 15 years old) and this little keyboard sounds better then the full size one. Also has about 200 more voices. I'm so impressed with it, That I want to advance, so today I purchased the Yamaha DGX 505.
Features
It came with everything needed to start playing. One thing I don't like is, when I set it up the way I want, it defaults back to factory settings when you turn it off.
Quality
It is very well made, has a nice silver finish and could be used on the road.
Value
I paid $149.00. I expected to pay more just by looking at it.
Manufacturer Support
Had not needed to use it.

"The one to buy in lieu of that Baby Grand!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
Very realistic. Grand Piano function is superb... very impressive. We purchased this for a a child whom expressed interest in playing the piano. We are quite satisfied and highly recommend this item to novice and advanced players both.
Features
The headphones are very useful when the children are practicing and when there are other activities going on. Our keyboard is centrally located, so that we can monitor time spent on it, and enjoy the frequent "recitals".
Quality
Looks and sounds great.

"i would not pay more than 120$ for this but for 80$ you get all your money's worth!!!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This is my first keyboard, ive seen lots of others (a replacement, Same price) it was horrible, others just sound fake and kiddish (lights, voices, functions (play along? lol yea right!) but all in all very very nice 10/10!!1
Sound
The piano sound GREAT! just like a real one, not to mention i only paid 80!!!! my only dislike is the TOUCH function. it is horrible! the slightest differ in your press could turn it from 2 decibels to 200. Also the ??Reset?? feature? let's say i am playing a song that requires and octave lower , sustain and no touch. Easy right? no. i have to turn it on, press the touch key (off) the sustain key (on) and function button at least 10 times to get to the octave menu. NOT easy.
Features
Lots of voices that are neat and fresh, the duel voice is a bit tricky to get. (digging though the function menu) and it isn't 50/50 of each instrument. all around 9/10
Ease of Use
i am like a robot when i turn this on, going to the touch and sustain buttons (only way it sounds good) the addition of a pedal does no good because it doesn't overlay (like a real piano) or sustain after (like a real piano) so 8/10
Quality
Sounds great and is very durable, i dont know about anyone else but my speakers started to crackle after about 75% sound, but i got that fixed. all in all 10/10
Value
80$ used very nice 10/10
Manufacturer Support
like i said my speakers broke but the store took it (no questions asked) sent it out and in 2 weeks got it back (nice touch they test it and clean it!) so 10/10 all the way
The Wow Factor
very sexy, silver base, blue speakers and great lcd screen. The piano board in that screen is not very usefull but it is appealing. (no kiddy lights)
