    Unlike what has sometimes t said, I find that this keyboard is not a gas plant. It is very easy to use and, of course, it does not have much range of sonorits BUT the most important are really excellent quality.
    For Dtail of connectivity, while adj t said.

    USE

    Yamaha touch, we like it or not, but anyway, it's very good. Worse than the kawa MP8 (2 times - cheap & 2fois - heavy), but a more realistic Roland in my opinion.

    USE

    Yamaha touch, we like it or not, but anyway, it's very good. Worse than the kawa MP8 (2 times - cheap & 2fois - heavy), but a more realistic Roland in my opinion.
    The configuration is bone simple, I confess I do not always understand some criticism against the p140 on this point. Any fawn, No normment of choice for the price it does not have a very rich library and it will make any manipulation esprer that enable a high-end product. But hey, if you search a mobile digital PIANO then the p140 seems to provide the best quality price ratio.
    the manual is clear and complete.

    SONORITS

    As a pianist, I do not m'tendrai far and wide on the other sonorits.
    For the piano:
    the report sound and touch of the keyboard is very pleasant and realistic. Great possibilities of expression. In this price range I have not found better. The pianos grd 1 and 3 restaurants account for two temperaments very DIFFERENT between which I alternate depending on the mood of the moment or the song. p1 seems to me bright, crisp, sharp, emblematic of that sound mtallique yamaha we love or dteste. p3 is more round and sweet but keeps an equally great expressive ability. P2 is anecdotal. ame someone suggr (correctly) that c'tait probably a stooge for the other two.
    otherwise, organs and harpsichords are good, other sounds appear less GPs me (I would not venture to use them solo)

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    I use it for about 1 month. It is lightweight and produces a perfectly satisfactory piano in concert, I'm not ashamed, even solo. Obviously amplification 2fois 6W (which is perfectly fine for home use) Here is everything rbarbative.
    I tried various Roland. their keyboards seem a little lgers and "plastic rdibitoire for my personal taste (usage: jazz, classical, singer accompaniment). Kawai upscale (MP8) is much better, only catch 15 kg 1000 euros + heavy and high. Looking for a quality vritablement transportable instrument, the p140 responds my needs perfectly
    It is for me the best ratio quality price for a mid-range product.

    Midi in out connector, expression pedals (spoon type) supplied with the unit.

    UTILIZATION

    Super touch, the better I think APRS tests MODELS Kawai, Casio, Roland. The one is really close to the true trs touch piano.

    Configuration catastrophic must have permanent record of the knees to make things as simple as a split keyboard (sounds DIFFERENT right hand / left hand). We are in the "Press F1, then the submenu, choose F1-3, and press the + and-to dfile sounds" it's impossible to retain and dirty, yuck ...

    The manual is as confusing as it procdures Describes and it takes several readings to understand ...

    SOUNDS

    The sounds are good:

    the piano 1 and 3 are recorded in "chantillonage dynamic" levels of 5 + 1 sample withdrawal button. It smells like pure marketing hype ... and yet, it's great. It's like flying a real concert grand piano (j'exagre a little, but not that much ...). The shades are fantastically rendered. The Piano 2 is not recorded using this technique, and although it uses a sample trs good, it sounds much flatter. I have supper the same ingnieurs Yamaha not to have been the only to serve as a foil to the other two ...

    The electric pianos are good and Varis (especially 1 and 2), the organ jazz sounds quite frankly, the clavinet is very well (but is not usable trs, at least one), the other sounds are anecdotal.

    on the other hand, FORGET the internal amplification of the device: it is misrable. I do not even speak in terms of power: 2x6 watts than sufficient in terms of volume. But the quality of sound is zero: no acute-it sounds "hollow" and "hollow" - a distortion and audible rsonances ds lowest level. With this piano, you play with headphones, or you invest in a good Systm amplification. What a shame to associate such good samples sound so bad amplification.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I possde this piano for two weeks now.

    I bought the shop MUSICPROMUSIC (website MUSICPROMUSIC.COM) THE RAINCY -93 -. After three days of use, the joy had left a deep place dception, due the poor amplification and complexity of using the Yamaha P140. I wanted to change it after 6 days (10 hours of use and any break through supplment) against a P120, m'tais I realized (too late) that the amplification and the ease User taient much suprieurs. Tlphonique call the shop, and ... nothing. First sentence of my contact APRS exhibitions of my case, "Sir, we do not force you to buy" and "we do not practice meets or drawback in your case since you bought the piano in our shop and not mail order. " "If you are not satisfied with the sound, you can buy a system that amplified speaker." You understand the business sense in this shop o is practiced, for the unfortunate customers who shop in dplacent, the "satisfied or not ..." (word to the wise, all the time o Other AREMUS, PLAYBACK, MILONGA (etc. ..) practice "money remboursquot;, even outside VPC for those with physical stores).

    I think the Yamaha P140 is really Designed as a P120 at a discount. It is pretty trs (unfortunately this has reflected in my choice), but the amplification and complexity of use are rdhibitoires. For information, if you are looking for a good piano sound, take the plutt P60: amplification sounds much better. For cons, the headphone, the P140 is better and more varied in its sound.

As for the Grand Piano 1, we guess its one that really some potential, some dynamism, some life under the fingers, but that is totally disassembled by the amplification that neutralizes a lot of harmonics, especially in mediums. It is ultimately to be correct in terms of volume or loudness, so quantitatively speaking. But qualitatively, a catastrophe!

    The headphone, and the whole dilemma, no problem, the sound beautifully expressed, and the GH3 keyboard that allows the driver a terrible expression.

    Verdict, if you're like me and you use your digital piano half the time as a real piano simple, stupid, that is, "I turn and I play with integrated amplification, without connecting and connect this or that and more, "and well it will certainly not the case.

    Yamaha may have set the bar too high with the P120 and would like might as well boost the sale of amplification systems annexes, but from my point of view, this causes a particular brake almost unwavering in the purchase of the instrument. Indeed, there is also a pleasure pianisitique fake on the old P60!

    Shame ... P120S May my life be a very long story I do not have to replace it anytime soon!

Please guys, stop you get lost now. Well before the orchestra down sharply on this product, I will be more nuanced on this piano that I use for four months. First, it is a product of mid-range, compared concurrently its other brands, is amplified (rare in this format) even if it is not good, it gives a cot a little vintage sound and is only for the control.

First, it is a product of mid-range, compared concurrently its other brands, is amplified (rare in this format) even if it is not good, it gives a cot a little vintage sound and is only for the control. Indeed this kind of product is to the pianist playing the headphone flat.

    UTILIZATION

    Its default is to use the features (a real gas plant), but this product is to the piano player. it is not really to be programmed is lit, you play. I would add that yamaha p would not implement them because 90% of buyers of such products do not use it. For a real master keyboard, go to the plutt P250.
    I also regret the fixed level RCA outputs (indpendant the volume fader) per against it are clean and trs trs "pchues".
    The touch is similar to the excellent P250, the high end.

    SOUNDS

    The TRS is really good. Pianos 1 and 3 samples of 5 possdent Veloci samples + a + a retention samples of relaxation of a sample of keys + soft pedal. The sound possde warmth and emotion ever seen on this type of product (it buries my p200 this level l. I think we are finally reaching the re digital pianos that sound like the real (as it was).
    The rhodes, dx and whurlitzer are excellent (note that the north course not either). The harpsichord is great for the rest is average but usable.
    Only the organ jazz is zero.

    OVERALL OPINION

    A short work for piano in his apartment in the headphones. I use it on scne because it is lightweight trs, trs audio is clean and immediately usable. If you have 250 euros more to take the p120 connectivity and amplification more work.
    It's still a great product to buy for the mid-range piano sound first.

    I acquired the electronic piano in May 2006. I chose the P-140 because of its price equal to my budget and small footprint. I use it as an instrument of study (classical music) and almost all the time with headphones.
    For specifications, visit Yamaha.

    UTILIZATION

    Personally touch the keyboard (do not make comparisons with the keyboard of an acoustic piano, it's just approaching the firmness and rebound) for me, even if the proposed three levels of settings: Soft, Medium and Hard , only modify the volume. A cursor would have more finesse in the setting.

    SOUNDS

    I only use the sounds of the Grand Piano 1 and 3, with a clear preference (very subjective, of course) for the Grand Piano 3, because I think the sampling of the pedal in the middle range of Grand Piano 1 unbearable to the headphone (metal echo draft agreements covering all).
    Again, it is regrettable that the choice of variation is reduced to three positions (Bright, Normal and Mellow), a cursor would have made the grade.
    The pedal is half, even though it is rather difficult to obtain, matter of habit.
    The sounds produced by the una corda pedal is not famous and you must adjust the depth of maximum effect in order to regain some modulation in the rendering of the game

    OVERALL OPINION

    The strengths of P-140:
    GH keyboard,
    sampling sounds Great Pianos 1 and 3 with three levels of dynamic sampling of the pedal and the release of the note,
    adjusting the depth effect of these different samples,
    the possibility to connect one second pedal (not included) or una corda and sostenuto.

    The weakness of the P-140:
    The main drawback of this instrument is probably the quality of amplification. Even with headphones, adjust the volume to zero, there is a significant wind noise which is annoying when using it.
    However, when using a headset via a hi-fi amplifier connected to the rear output Aux Out, no breath, a much clearer sound and unsuspected nuances achievable with the original amplification.
    To listen with speakers, I connected the rear exit Out For a 2.1 system which greatly improves the sound of P-140 by giving richer sound, power and spatiality. But it's still the headphone and with the means previously detailed that you get the best of this instrument.
    What a pity from the manufacturer to be integrated into the P-140 Multiple sampling of successful sound, keyboard, very honest and neglecting the quality of amplification. Only the quality was important, because the power with a single pair of speakers in the rear, would have nothing changed.

    If you work on a digital, one fine day you find yourself in concert on an acoustic piano, when you ask your hands on the keyboard, you will probably say that you are embedded in a very dirty story ...
    That said, it's not an unpleasant, far from it. It depends on what you expect from the instrument.

    The configuration of the split is not very intuitive, and even off-putting.

    The manual is decent, nothing more.

    SOUNDS

    The pianos are correct, and sounds are well suited to the amplification, unlike the P60 which is nice on its own HP and absolutely despicable when it is amplified.
    The Rhodes are satisfactory, especially 2 and 3 and the effects add a nice touch. (Try the Wurlitzer with the rotary speaker, and forward to Logical song ...)
    The Clavinet is average, and also improves the phase does not really.
    Any string.

    OVERALL OPINION

    A strong argument ... would, in fact, is the weight ... It is taken under the arm and off you go ... Significant for a keyboard touch heavy, especially if one "turns" a lot.
    In this price range, I also tried the Roland FP 2 (hoping to find the feel of FP8), but I was extremely disappointed in this respect, as well as the quality and accuracy of sounds ...
    The P 140 is certainly not a machine that will leave you "butt on the ground" but the value for price is right, especially when we know the reliability of Yamaha products. I had no problem at the moment of mechanical keys, unlike the P80, and my keyboard is no wrong ...

    It is a simple to use keyboard trs, there's a button for everything and for possible parameters just keep pressing the button paramtre (gender effect) and apuuy + or -. No no dr.

    UTILIZATION

    Touch is quite heavy, may be the heaviest of its class, some trouveron he is even too much, there are plenty of acoustic piano, which are lighter than cel. Bon muscle fingers, you better have a little too heavy and rgaler on a piano that is more lightweight plutt than the reverse.
    Pressing buttons is lower than the P70 and P85, but they do not plastoc as the latter two, they are enjoyable to play and trs trs silent.

    I took the stand L140, it is large enough and the white keys are then approximately 72/73cm the ground, get used a bit.

    SOUNDS

    Well, like usual, the sound of piano and keyboard are great. The organ goes well, the strings are chuckle ... nothing new.

    There are three piano sounds Different. The first is clear and rich, a very modern classical sound that tends to have some resonance mtallique. The deuxime is a bit flat, it reminds me of those found in the PSR, a simple piano sound that pierces the mix, but without much personality. The troisime is my prfr it sounds a little too dull in the internal amplification of the P140, but the speaker has given a beautiful piano sound trs warm, ideal for playing Mozart or Chopin. Cel with legalization is available we can all play the piano, adding gloss ...
    The harpsichord is trs cool.
    Electronic keyboards are those found on the clavinova, it ragisse well VLOC saturating when we play hard, very enjoyable. The lack its type rhodes some extent and tend to do a little corner corner m'enfin is not much.

    [edit] There are several available tempra which makes a third of fifths and pure trs, trs fair, but it is questionable whether the builders would not have too much increases the ct slightly imperfect tempra gal, some notes sound a little low, a vibration mtallique is heard when playing with C3 E4, or r3 with F # 4 ... Of not much but the fact of all the yamaha ... I'm wondering ...
    It is not teacher, except when we know and that lingers on, if not in general play was going alone, gave the same body, some life on the piano .. . [/ EDIT]

    OVERALL OPINION

    In dpart I wanted a heavy piano numrique touch for less than 1000 ... Good that the 1000 is right in the store. Below there were compromises between the touch and sounds.
    The P70 and P85 yamaha have great sound (yamaha. ..) but the touch that heavy and deep, was really plastoc under the fingers.
    The Casio PX200 may be the keyboard that has the best touch below 1000, but sound may be the worst.
    Roland is not really a heavy touch, finally say it's a little lightweight to be of heavy, and then it's pretty soft.
    The Korg SP250 is not bad, good balance of everything, no real gap, but nothing special either, he did not charm ...
    Well here I spent about two hours in a store for me DCID, the seller could not do it made me try this one the 'some a which is just above but a will may be you "Pile hair, I eat pasta and I pay more than 90 prvu is not very much.
    Sound, touch as I really feel to be a good clavinova, weight and price within the transportabilit more.

    I do not possde this keyboard as I have given a northern course (other CATEGORY), it says APRS have tried a number of pianos is the best quality price ratio in its CATEGORY.
    P85, p90: no line-out, zero electric piano sounds, the keyboard quality infrieure

    that said, this machine is certainly metal, but dosed more than its predecessors (I speak here of Clavinova and portable that I have tested).
    the dynamic range, only the internal amplification is already interesting. it assumes good things in external amplification seen other reviews.

    I find sufficient internal amplification. My u1 is nearly as powerful as that I speak here as an interpreter and not listener) cover open and it costs 7500 euros. one great thing: the key off, you always hear the effects of the table. harmony, it's great fun! else, the notion of spatial hearing: the speakers behind and before that avoid pushing the sound because the singers can not hear the sound, or lower because you can not hear the singers and other instrumentalists, an idea simple and brilliant that I have tested in September.
    I do not mean that the other sounds of piano, I did not really like, yam would still have made an effort in that direction, too bad, right down to the note.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I tried it on one hour of Schumann (Scenes from Childhood), Mozart (Sonata called easy) and pieces of my composition. This was not enough to learn, but enough to realize it has possibilities. forget the classic if you are professional, except for small concerts in remote locations, but not agree to specialists.

    I will say more after receipt and more intensive use, must first of all I order.

    I've had two days. I find the same errors on my part expressiveness on the P140 as the u1 is a good sign .... it responds well, touch requires thorough without being blurry, I like it! his side, I can still play the Schumann by putting a small minimum Interpret, I can still not ask the richness of a real piano, it's impossible. put some review of the volume thoroughly blurred, there is not at all, it depends on the joint (fingers of course!), except that where some acoustic pianos "hide" a little this gap in interpreter (but unfortunately not the listener!), p 140 sends it to you in full face and that's fine, as you progress and commend the game in question! the piano is really solid and well finished, for now, I is suitable for all styles of music. attention: I think it is too subjective!
    Today I have for two months. working "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story, I felt for the first time the harmonic limits of the beast, when we sounded different agreements quickly (last page, the last two systems of the song for those who know) , you feel the next synthetic samples, which is like a "voicing" finally something not really like the acoustic piano. it was a little disturbed at first but I no longer work on this machine as my technique and just for sound. after all, a joy on the sound, I return to my u1. The yam is like all digital sound in a beautiful appearance, and when you dig more than the attack of the sound and timbre, you can feel the machine. I can assure you, there is a very good investment, you've got the advice of a pianist confirmed.

    Not a lot of possibilities with this one. To me, it's a basic everyday keyboard.

    UTILIZATION

    The functions are sometimes a bit complicated.

    The hammering actions of the keys is the closest I've felt to an acoustic piano - it really felt real. I borrowed this keyboard for 2 weeks, I used it constantly, and I sometimes felt like I was still playing my upright C3 Yamaha piano, which I had last used three weeks ago. It REALLY feels like a real piano under your fingers.

    SOUNDS

    It FEELS like a real piano...but it doesn't sound like one. The P140 is truly bizarre. It allows you to express yourself musically through your fingers, to truly express nuance and a light touch, just …

    SOUNDS

    It FEELS like a real piano...but it doesn't sound like one. The P140 is truly bizarre. It allows you to express yourself musically through your fingers, to truly express nuance and a light touch, just like a real piano. But the actual sound produced is pathetic. It seems that Yamaha wanted to make a piano that was sensitive to how it is played, and it is, but it reacts musically like a broken down, out-of-date cheap keyboard. With the P140, it's really easy to misplay the notes, turn all the music into noise, lose all ability to express nuance, etc ... In short, when it is played lightly, delicately, it sounds ugly.

    On top of this, the amplification is horrible. And the fact that you can plug into an external amp does not make turn this into a jewel, far from it!

    If you don't believe me, if you can, play it and record yourself playing. Then move back 2 meters, and listen to you what you have recorded. It'll sound just like a gramophone!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I compared the p140 with the Roland FP4, then bought the 2nd (I was able to borrow them both before buying). At first, I didn't hesitate: I wanted the p140, because it felt just like playing a real piano, and then I caught the awful quality of the sound (oddly though, the piano sounds are actually good enough; in fact, they're TOO precise, too mechanical, which is very different from an acoustic piano's depth of feeling and character). I think the P140 could have been an excellent piano, but they totally missed the chance. Let's say that Yamaha was very close to making a great device, but ultimately, to me, it fell flat.

    I finally went over to the FP4, and I do not regret it (very important to know on this site).

    Note that the hammering action in the p140 is much more pronounced in the bass.

    This piano can still be useful for someone looking for a good way to practice building your finger muscles; it's a good way to work on your technique. But don't play this if anyone's around you, you'll look like a terrible player!

    88 Keys

    UTILIZATION

    The GH action makes for a very very realistic touch keyboard, just like a classical piano. It creates different weightings based on the range: a larger hammering effect in the low register, and lighter in the higher register. Couldn't be easier!

    SOUNDS

    This instrument offers a wide variety of instrument sounds such as grand pianos, electric pianos, organs, harpsichords and string instruments. All these sounds have been recorded and recreated with great care and attention to detail. The beautiful sounds are richer and more nuanced than comparable models. The realism is very impressive.

All these sounds have been recorded and recreated with great care and attention to detail. The beautiful sounds are richer and more nuanced than comparable models. The realism is very impressive. When amplified through the HP output and with a enough power x 2x6W plugged into a combo amp - Roland 120 watts - it is really stunning. It's a huge pleasure to play this piano.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this on stage in small concerts, and it's much better than the Roland FP 4. I am very pleased with what I can do with this baby. I'd recommend them without hesitation. I paid 1100 Euros for mine, and think it was a steal. Just about perfect.

    I do have two negative points:
    -1 It broke down the 18th month fortunately it is still guaranteed, the problem is that it makes a sound extrememtn acute. This sound appears only on the sounds I use most strange is not it? It is being repaired is ca still feeling sick! I'll keep you posted
    -2 After that it is connected to a mixer you are no longer the master of sound, sometimes on stage we increase the volume because we do not really mean! Désarois to the engineers there's ... well you can not, a volume is given automatically and is the mixer that order! So good or bad, I ca me some general representation with a guitar too loud and too quiet ... I had my taste

    For all characteristics has already been said I think.

    UTILIZATION

    I just play on a fp4 and for me there is no comparison. The touch of P140 is much better. It is certainly my opinion one of the best heavy touch of the market (in this price range of course.
    That's what I need to work on my piano (classical finger).
    I find the feel good for jazz too.


    SOUNDS

    Contrary to what has been said below, I find the sound excellent especially two of the three great piano sounds. There is a quite expressive electric piano but I can understand that some people prefer it to Roland.
    I also like the combination piano / strings and church organ and a few others.

    The piano allows me to make fairly subtle nuances.

    OVERALL OPINION

    When I wanted to buy it, I suffered an attack by fundamentalists of Roland. They tried to convince me that "it's better than roland yamaha" as if it were an absolute truth.
    Well I do not regret buying this Yamaha P140 even if I blame him for his connections too minimal and some sounds very average for my taste.
    As I bought in Italy in a large area near Turin (2008), the price was unbeatable (790euros).
