    Fixed it, free stuff off craigslist

    Yamaha P-120Published on 08/16/18 at 09:07
    Application
    I just wanted a digital keyboard that felt like an actual piano, that wouldn't take up to much space in the living room.
    Context
    I use it to pound, improvise, write, learn songs by ear
    Other products
    I have tried many digital pianos like this one at guitar center and other music stores.
    Pros and Cons
    Pro, It feels like a piano. There are some with weighted keys that don't feel like a piano, this isn't one of them. It's easy to operate. You plug it into the wall, press the red button and you can play immediately. All the sounds are immediately above the keys, well marked, easy to understand. It has a wide range of outputs, from midi, rca out, to 1/4 out. Cons? Well…

You plug it into the wall, press the red button and you can play immediately. All the sounds are immediately above the keys, well marked, easy to understand. It has a wide range of outputs, from midi, rca out, to 1/4 out. Cons? Well it was broke when I gathered it. I had to tear it apart with a volt meter to figure out what was wrong. I did some searching online, and in some forum somewhere a guy said, "It has no fuse, most problems are either the dc input jack solder on the feet got loose on the board or the AC adapter failed. So it does have known issues. However, It was easy to fix once I took a solder gun and just heated and reseated the dc jack back on the board. Luckily, I didn't need to buy any new parts. So if you are fixing one of these, don't make the mistake I did and try to take out the switch to test it. It was a huge pain screwing it back in. Imagine playing the game operation. Cons, it sounds thin. They could have put beefier speakers in it. Cons, Its kinda ugly with the wood finish.

    Overall
    It would not be my first choice if I were to actually purchase a digital piano. However, the price was right, and I will say this, I used to own a Casio Privia, which I like quite a bit better in terms of sounds and aesthetics, however, I would have zero reason to upgrade this Yamaha to a better digital piano no matter the cost. Why? It gets the job done. And in my use, the sound is good enough, the feel is quite good, and pianos are built to be listened to and played not looked at. I would have payed up to 150 usd for the keyboard.

    Nice product, in terms of feel and touch

    Yamaha P-120Published on 04/28/12 at 03:28
    88-key practice piano to move on to the real thing!
    Midi In Out
    Audio RCA & Jack OUT

    UTILIZATION

    This is the main strength of this digital piano, the keyboard is really interesting, rather hard, but you can obviously adjust it (hard, medium, soft) to make the sound come out easier with soft or have the sound respond to the keyboard with hard.

    UTILIZATION

    This is the main strength of this digital piano, the keyboard is really interesting, rather hard, but you can obviously adjust it (hard, medium, soft) to make the sound come out easier with soft or have the sound respond to the keyboard with hard. I always use the latter, because the playing is more subtle, and it's also easier to play with another piano (if you can play the hardest, you can play the softest).

    In terms of setup, the manual is very clear, but the interface on the piano doesn't allow for an intuitive approach of the parameters (MIDI channels), although it's better for sounds.

    SOUNDS

    I'm hooked to Afro-American music, blues, reggae, jazz. The expression is convincing for this type of product (which shouldn't be compared to an upright or grand piano). The sounds are good, I like especially the Piano1 sound and the organ, the rest is all right but I never use it.
    I use it mainly to forget about my home studio and play standards. But that doesn't stop me from using it as a master keyboard with a MID USB interface to build my songs at home, the keyboard is truly YAMAHA!

    The sound through the speakers is very good and also through the different outputs. I use it a lot with headphones in the evening (due to my neighbors) and it's impeccable.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've used it for two years. I bought it secondhand and I am very happy with it. Compared to the more recent P85, the keyboard of the P120 for live applications is really good.

    Reliable gear

    Yamaha P-120Published on 03/06/12 at 12:56
    Fairly comprehensive connections, possibility to deactivate the speakers with the switch on the side. The pedal included is of good quality (compared to others that go click clack).

    UTILIZATION

    You need to have the manual close at hand during setup.
    With time you end up remembering which menu corresponds to "F8," etc. But, to be totally honest, it's not easy, it's not well-designed at all! But you get used to it all the same.
    Very clear user's manual.
    The keyboard is very good. A bit heavy for my taste and the key travel is very long.

    SOUNDS

    The main piano sound is great. Just like the Rhodes. The harpsichord is really amazing! The organs are OK, but the rest is pretty bad!
    It remains a digital piano. And it's pretty good at that.

    OVERALL OPINION

    What I like best is:
    - The connections on the side!!
    - The sturdiness.
    - An adequate music stand!! Sturdy and big enough!

    The piano is heavy but it's easy to understand why.

    I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again to play at home or on stage if I can't have a real piano.

    Great digital piano!

    Yamaha P-120Published on 10/30/11 at 00:10
    Regular piano sounds, plus some "additional" sounds (guitar, bass, etc.) There are 14 sounds in total, each with 2 variations. You can split and layer the sounds.

    It can be connected via MIDI. For audio it has TRS, headphone and RCA outputs. In short, it has all you need. Unlike other models of the P series, it has its own speakers, which is practical.

    It has some modest but nice effects: reverb, chorus, tremolo, phaser, and delay.

    UTILIZATION

    Clear user's manual. However, it's not easy to set up: Everything has to be done with the 3-digit display and, unless you have the manual at hand, you have to remember what the numerical functions do. But, on the other hand, it's not so…

    It has some modest but nice effects: reverb, chorus, tremolo, phaser, and delay.

    UTILIZATION

    Clear user's manual. However, it's not easy to set up: Everything has to be done with the 3-digit display and, unless you have the manual at hand, you have to remember what the numerical functions do. But, on the other hand, it's not something you do often.

    The most useful functions (tempo, transpose, etc.) have their own dedicated buttons.

    The keyboard is simply awesome. It is heavy enough to let you "work," meaning you won't have any problems if someday you play a real piano, even if it's a bit less heavy, which, in my opinion, makes it more pleasant to play than a real piano. Having tested quite a few, this is the only one that gave me that feeling.

    Moreover, it can be used as a master keyboard with a DAW.

    SOUNDS

    The piano sounds are excellent and realistic. The jazz organ and the clavinet are not bad either. I don't use the other sounds. That isn't my intention with this type of instrument. This instrument is meant to replace a real piano for people who don't have too much space, money or who want to control the volume. And it is very good at that. The sound is excellent, the expression is great (and adjustable) and you can actually add all the nuances you can with a real piano. Finally, it responds very well to the different pedals (sustain and soft)

    However, I don't know the models that have come out in the past 4 years, so I don't know how it compares to more recent models, but I have never had the need, because it suits me perfectly.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I tested quite a few models before this one (among which were some Yamaha, like the Clavinova, for example, Technics, Roland, etc.), including much more expensive ones. This one was my favorite. I've had it since 2005 and it has no single wrinkle.

    For what I use it (to replace a real upright piano AND have a decent master keyboard), it is absolutely perfect in every sense.

    Other users (if you want 500 sounds, for example) better go for something else, in my opinion.

    The only thing that is annoying is the setup, but like I said before, it's of minor importance.

    I'm 200% positive I'd buy it again (although I'd give a look at newer pianos, you never know ;) )

    Very good digital piano

    Yamaha P-120Published on 10/25/11 at 01:02
    This portable digital piano is a very good instrument, comprehensive, versatile and rather compact. Each sound has variations, you can split the keyboard, the effects are simple but effective enough.

    UTILIZATION

    An 88-key Yamaha piano is no surprise, it will satisfy both budding and experienced pianists.

    SOUNDS

    The piano sound is sampled on 3 layers with the resonance of the pedal.

    OVERALL OPINION

    After several years using it for very different styles (jazz, blues, pop, classical), it is still relevant.

    It is light enough to carry it regularly without fear of lumbago.
    This is a great scene keypad (or keyboard)

    SOUNDS

    It is a tool primarily intended for keyboard sounds (piano, rhodes, clavinet, hammond).
    The piano is very good, the rhodes and clavinet are really fantastic (the grass!)
    The Wurly and vibration are correct. Only a few organ PCHE (despite the leslie acceptable)
    Other sounds (fretless bass, strings, etc.) are more distracting than anything else.
    For effects, the phaser transcends all (try the clavinet!) And the chorus is nice (Alas, no good for trmolo rhodes)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I was looking for a 88-note portable (lightweight what ...) with a great sound of piano and rhodes and the P120 is fulfilling this mission (for one low price eventually). In addition, the sequencer, the built-in speakers, the mtronome are useful in daily practice.
    I have a year and I do not regret, because I had tried just about every digital pianos on the market and he dmarqu very quickly.
    Amme its price increased since last year ...
    A strongly advise

    -7 Octaves: same amount of octaves as a piano acoustic

    -14 Sounds - 4 effects: the number of sounds is not enough for me but the quality is excellent.

    -2 Headphones connectors - 2 cinch out - jack out 2 - MIDI in / MIDI out - TO HOST connector - 2 x pedal: view connections, no complaints.

    UTILIZATION

    - Viewpoint touch, no complaints! Impeccable. Better than my old upright piano acoustic ... The best touch electronic piano that I know (even a grand piano sensation).

    - The most common configuration (sound effects ...) is simple but the settings are more laborious depths (for functions that s'affices figures on the small screen) and the user manual is required for this

    - MIDI channel selection is done via a function (ie, need the manual to less than memorize the number of the function)

    - The manual is fairly clear to a neophyte, but very clear to an experienced user

    SOUNDS

    From this point of view, I am the best electronic piano. The quality of touch, sound quality, the response to velocity etc. are impeccable.

    The effects are very realistic (4 types of reverb, chorus, phaser, tremolo, delay)

    We can adjust the sensitivity of touch (hard, medium, soft, fixed)

    The piano stunning reality (it does not sound synthetic)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a year. What I like most is the quality of touch, sound quality, connectivity, ease of transport (useful for concerts). What I regret is the lack of the various available. For the same with a large bank of sound, you have to buy the P-250 (the model dessu) but it is of course more expensive, deeper and 10Kg heavier (and therefore more difficult to transport for concerts).

    I've played a lot of piano and electronic keyboards before but never had I experienced this pleasure to play that one has a acoustic piano. The P-120 is similar to a lot of that feeling.

    So in summary, I have no complaints except:
    - Lack of available sounds (but certainly not quality!)
    - The depth adjustment tedious

    Gnrale trs simple configuration, but not empty if you want to go in rglages complex (ncessite to have the user manual in front).
    The manual, however, is very well done.

    SOUNDS

    The piano sound is okay, but again, useless srieusement to play classic spices of the directory. I cons used by a rock band, and it is really good! The sounds of Hammond organ and church, harpsichord, piano Rhode are really good. Too bad we can not better paramtrer harmonics of Hammond, or the zippers of the church organ!
    I never use effects.
    You can forget the sound of strings and guitar ... It's a piano, all fawns!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for two years as a matre keyboard, piano scne, and I intend to keep it for when j'emmnagerai apartment (the piano line two hours in the morning ', a does not ...).
    Very practical tool, but does not replace a piano. Personally I advise beginners to buy a piano upright piano as a little soft touch of numrique is not good for the training of the hand.
    Good quality price overall.
    I do it again this choice.

    SOUNDS

    I only use the Grand Piano, Rhodes and possibly the jazz organ. The rest sounds a little gadget. This piano is for musicians who do not need a gas factory sound and want to have a real heavy touch and a piano sound hyper practitioner. Point bar!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for several months, APRS be thrown in Fatar and Roland.
    J'apprcie particulirement touch, simplicity of use (I turn, I play), and three sounds that interest me (Grand Piano, Rhodes and Organ).
    Aesthetics nothing wrong with its fake wood finish ca us exchange dprimants black keyboards.

    The less body weight (mpf 25kg. ..) a bit difficult to carry rptition, but you get used to (ho climbed!).

    In short: A keyboard that is the point.

    Fifteen sounds (+ 1 variation for each sound)
    4 integrated adjustment effects (quite nice) + 4 reverbs (not use a little)

There is still enough EXCELLENT, the only keyboard that has a better touch on which I have a Kawai MP9500 is jou and it is not at all in the same price range ...
    Configuration is very simple, except perhaps the function or you have to read the manual to hope to understand something, but it's a waste because once it has dechifrer we realize that they are almost Count is nothing (to the sustain pedal is off, adjust settings MIDI ...). is yes the brightness knob is very convenient.

    SOUNDS

    In terms of sound, the sound of piano and rhodes are really nice as long as we adapt to amplification (the keyboard estparfaite but not powerful), that too I had a hard time on the etrouver of other keyboard at the same price ... Do not expect anything from this it is the keyboard for that, (and to be connected to my PC noon, when I have other sounds) are the other sounds are rotten. The effects are not bad either, but given that both are not configurable, I do not see much interest.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Well, I repeated what was said and reconfirms my predecessors

    So I was looking for a 88-key, with a good piano, a good touch to have MIDI and a connection that is lightweight, all for 1500 euros. I think I found one that suited me the most for all the reasons I just mentioned
    1 year of use in the price range I know still do not have a keyboard piano as accurate, does not agree namoins clasique players and other purists. The 17 kg of the machine, are really a plus.
    My role as "bassist" in my rock band is that I have a soft shine to the key, but I imagine they think the not very useful.
    The connector on the left I tape a lot and I had a little trouble understanding those who do not like it: Either it is on the cot is it in the back, good length she Exceeds all the time what ..
    When will the solution (not very aesthetic) of the connector on top of the keyboard.

    88-key touch heavy, conventional connectors (MIDI, etc. ...), about 16 sounds (all are not equal), rather limited in terms of effects and opportunities

    UTILIZATION

    Without going to be a real piano, the feel is very correct. I was looking for a keyboard with touch was as close as possible to a real acoustic piano and I was not disappointed.

    It is very intuitive, primarily because it has few sounds and fontions. I do not use the piano as a substitute in an apartment and sounds "twisted" and other subtleties not interest me. The jazz sounds of the organ and the Fender's are really nice and the piano of course. For others, it is not the panacea.

    SOUNDS

    This instrument is perfect for someone who wants to work on the piano without a piano sound at home both at the touch of that sound.

    in terms of transport, the keyboard is quite heavy, it's not always practical.

    Touch is a real treat in any case.

    OVERALL OPINION

    As I said, this keyboard is intended primarily for those seeking a substitute for a real acoustic piano. For those looking for an instrument with a wide variety of sounds and possibilities, I doubt that will be the most suitable instrument.

    It's been four years since I use (I'm a jazz pianist, and for me, sound, touch and opportunities at the richeeses harmonic sound are paramount), and I am not come at the end. It does not replace a real piano, but I think this is what is the best yet in terms of digital instrument tranportation.

    88 notes a mechanical hammer.
    piano sounds, e piano, clavinet, organ ....
    phaser reverb chorus ....
    2 output jack-dependent volume slider,
    2 RCA INDEPENDENT volume slider

    UTILIZATION

    Touch, heavy at will, is designed for pianists, or those who want to become.
    Ergonomics is very simple, the integrated 2-track sequencer handy built-in metronome.

    SOUNDS

    Here we are: the sounds!
    Piano: the bass is impressive, deep, majestic. medium and treble very accurate.
    the rhodes is breathtaking. very hot and very precise.
    other sounds are realistic and effective, specially clavinet, organ and bass.

    the rhodes is breathtaking. very hot and very precise.
    other sounds are realistic and effective, specially clavinet, organ and bass.

    I also have an upright piano (Kawai) on which I feel in touch. it's a bit my own reference.
    I found the touch a little too heavy at first, but curiously, now, touch me digital models of the other effects are just chewing gum.
    Before this one, I have a Roland FP8 I liked a lot. Here touch is a little harder and pushed a little deeper (too limited for me but I got used).
    The essential difference is in the precision of sounds: the FP8 is more "runny".
    p120 integrates the "alone" in a mix because the sound is brighter and especially the attacks and released are very clear. rhythmic games really are sharper, more percussive, particularly with his rhode we almost forget you are playing on pieces of plastic with electronics behind.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for over a year.
    + The precision of the sound, the bass of the piano, the feel the rhodes.
    weight: 18 kg just for a mechanical hammer
    - I long for all the same technology that teleportation is developed to use an acoustic piano on stage. Uh .... even when I put 10/10

    In 2005 I tried several models to replace my FP8. I deliver what I remember:
    Kawai ES5 touch I liked the sound but not at all
    kawai 9500 keys a little angular, ca me general. great sound. 32 kg too heavy
    roland fp2 reaction to the depression not very accurate
    Korg SP300 touch too heavy and its a very aggressive (test scene)
    yamaha p60 sinking too short, I was general

    In the light of these test, I chose the p120. It's still not the feeling of an acoustic piano, but it seemed to be the best choice for my roaming, even compared to the more expensive models.
