“The Yamaha YPT-220 has great sound and many options.”

“Very good product. Exactly what I was looking for, and consistent with the product description – no surprises, which often is the case. The Yamaha YPT-220 also came with an electrical adapter so didn’t need to go to Radio Shack and buy one — again, a good touch. My son LOVES this keyboard — does exactly what he was looking for so as long as he is happy, I’m happy!!”

“I’m learning how to play by teaching myself. The Yamaha YPT-220 is a great keyboard to start on. Great price as well!”

“The Yamaha YPT-220 keyboard is made of plastic, so don’t expect anything metal. I don’t have a problem with it being made of plastic. It doesn’t take away from the overall look of the keyboard.”
