Reviews:
“Although I am a beginner piano player myself, I think the keys behave like real piano keys (in terms of response to force of touch) and the sound is just incredible–I would not know the difference between the Yamaha DGX-640W and a real piano if I couldn’t see them.”
“The Yamaha DGX-640W is a decent-looking machine but is not a beautiful piece of furniture like a piano; the “wood” portions are clearly synthetic, but seem sturdy.”
“The sound coming out of the Yamaha DGX-640W’s speakers is very very good. But plug in a pair of headphones and you’ll hear an even nicer, fuller sound.”
“Highly recommended!”
“The Yamaha DGX-640W is a fantastic keyboard. The voices alone are amazing.”
“I cannot recommend the Yamaha DGX-640W keyboard more. Sure there are much prettier keyboards, and later I plan to buy another more PIANO LOOKING keyboard for the living room to entertain. But this will be the work horse of music in my house from now on.”
