Keyboard 88 keys, Graded Hammer touch
A great big flat in the connection: one out (headphone / line level), a sustain pedal, MIDI IN / OUT and basta! I think they are abusing a little side. Both outputs L / R and a foot pedal would have been welcome. It's still not a children's piano!
Well, the problem of the audio output is solved with a Y-cable, but because of this connection it is cheap I do that 7

UTILIZATION

Yamaha Graded Hammer touch: the weight of keys varies octave (+ is up, + it's light, like on a real piano). To my knowledge, the better feel for an internship piano (GH keyboard is identical to the whole series in P Yam). Frankly, if you are a pianist, is happiness! This is the highlight of this keyboard fairly simple: a super hit with a good piano sound. If you want more sounds and functions, but an acoustic piano touch and worse, go to M-Audio. It depends on what you're looking ...
The manual is OK and the configuration is done by setting certain combinations of keys on the keyboard. Everything is well explained and a shortened form is provided.

SOUNDS

Its level is the basic, ie a very good acoustic piano, a second not bad either, an electric piano so DX (yeah) and a second crap. Otherwise, two harpsichords and two classic organs (I do nothing), a vibraphone (not bad) and a sheet (any, to mix with the piano ...). Leave to have only 10 sounds, I would have preferred a more jazzy organ, rhodes and clavinet one instead of clavecin2, orgue2 elec2 and piano. Finally, the sounds here, I have my VSTi on the keyboard, but to go play with friends is not very practical ... I do not really understand the choice very classic Yamaha on this one then ... Given the acoustic pianos of quality (combined with the super hit), I am tempted to 10, but the lack of a proper Rhodes or clavinet bother me a bit to play jazz. So 8

OVERALL OPINION

Only a few days of use. I complement this notice in time. I like the feel of the keyboard, the sound of acoustic piano and the simple design (but tough!) Of the machine. No frills!
I do not like the cheap connectors and the lack of a good electric piano (there are yet great in all Yamaha synths)
I tried the Korg MS in the home Yam P120 (model above, which did not convince me to drop almost 500 euros +) and M Audio ProKeys. At the same budget, I would do this choice without hesitation.
If I were rich, I would take home a ProMéga3 GEM
The ideal machine would have been touch and GH P60 + piano acoustic sounds of other M-Audio (Rhodes, Hammond, Clavinet ...)
UPDATE: after several days (and nights!) On the piano, I confirm all the good I think (in the price range of 800-1200 euros). I still played on a SP200 ago: Yam is the best (touch acousitique and piano), there's no picture!
About the lack of interesting sounds, I coupled to a small expendeur Alesis NanoPiano and for a few dollars, the problem is solved (I will leave a notice on the NanoPiano soon).
