So it's a piano numrique touch heavy, 88 notes, midi in and out, one between a sustain pedals, pedals for a mute. The FC3 sustain pedals and power supply are provided.
There are 3 sounds of acoustic piano, electric keyboards over 3 vibraphone, church organ, harpsichord, strings mumuse what to do. There are 3 Galis, with a fixed 4 Sensitivity Settings, 4 reverbs, 4 effects.
There are two headphone output mini jack just below the critical line and output RCA, right and left. The headphones cut the sound from the speakers but not the line out. Line output level is fixed, the volume knob does not affect him.
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 recommend everyone.
