Questions & Answers
I have a master's degree in piano performance, and this was purchased to replace a Clavinova I purchased in 1993. I took it for a test drive at a music store to make sure it felt like a real piano before I bought it. I was planning to purchase there, but they only had the display and no box, and the price was much higher than on Amazon.
The number of polyphony is 64.
No, I haven't found any. It can be connected to our tablet, but I haven't been able to figure out how to turn it into a player piano; otherwise, it's a fantastic instrument.
Two standard stereo phone jacks are included with the piano. Amazon is a good place to start looking for a bluetooth headphone transmitter.

I was confident in my own skin. I used to play a lot, but I was never really in the realm of pro-musicians because I was self-taught and only had a Yamaha keyboard; I used to teach and only had a Yamaha keyboard; I used to play a lot, but I was never really level. br>br>After a 5-year hiatus, I decided to pick up the piano again, but this time with vigor. I did some research and determined that, because I didn't have room for a piano, I would buy either a professional keyboard or a digital piano, and after much research, I chose the YDP164R. br>br>The keys have a real piano feel to them, and there are three foot pedals included. I'm having trouble getting the far-side pedal to work. left to work, but I'm not sure if that's a misinterpretation on my part. I was unfamiliar with the sustained pedal because I had previously only used a small keyboard, but I quickly learned how to use it. I've only had it for about two months, but I already feel like I've put in more than 40 hours. The sound quality is fantastic, and it's a joy to play. br>br>I'm very pleased with my purchase and have no plans to replace it.
It's not a good bench, and I don't think it'll last as long as the piano. My only complaint about the piano is that the headphone jack isn't visible while sitting, or that there's an outlet that's easier to find blindly. When you run your hand under the unit looking for it, it's barely noticeable. To find it, I almost always have to stoop to my knees.
The model is based on and made of using this grand piano sound (clavinova grand piano), which we absolutely adore! You can definitely become an expert with this one. To study, there is a lot more information on the line.
This is a good piano for a small space. It is acceptable to play sound. If you record your playing for a video, it has an annoying click sound to the finger tips. A strange bell ring can also be heard from the metronome. I still think the piano is a good deal, and I recommend it.
In comparison to the previous generation, the keyboard core has vastly improved. I was in possession of a Yamaha YPG- 10 years ago, there were 625 people on the planet. It's like night and day when it comes to touch and sound. I continue to use an electronic piano rather than an acoustic piano.
The piano top had to be lifted out of the box by two strong young men. Then there was the base assembly, which required a certain amount of skill. The only drawback is that I can't get enough practice on this piano. It's been a delight! The senses of hearing and touching are both fantastic.
The sampling is excellent, the touch sensors are responsive, and the companion app makes adjusting the settings a breeze. The sound quality really stands out when you're wearing headphones. If you're into music production, this piano can also be used as a MIDI controller.
