Reviews:

“The Yamaha YPT-320 is a very nice keyboard for a beginner or an experienced musician. Tons of great features which I have yet to learn. Sounds very realistic.”

“Played piano my whole life and this new technology is awesome! Got a stand seperately. Love it, haven’t figured out all the bells and whistles yet but the sound on grand piano mode is incredible.”

“I am very pleased with this keyboard and consider it a good value for the price. I had never played a keyboard before this one, but have been playing piano and organ (both pipe & electronic) for 40+ years for churches, weddings, funerals & dinner music. The Yamaha YPT-320 keyboard voices are very representative of the instruments they are supposed to replicate. I was surprised by how many of the settings of the keyboard can be customized to the individual performer’s preferences.”

” The size of the Yamaha YPT-320 keyboard makes it more easily portable than an 88-key one, yet the 61-key still provides enough octaves of notes to easily play with both hands.”

“I would have given this keyboard 5 stars but I am a little disappointed in the output volume. Even on the highest volume setting it is not very loud and on the lowest setting it is barely audible. If it is to be used for accompaniment of amplified vocalist or playing with other instruments, it will need to be plugged into an amplifier.”

“Wow pretty impressive for such a cheap keyboard.”
