Yamaha P115 88-Key Weighted Action Digital Piano with Sustain Pedal, White

I just opened my p115 today and I am in love. I upgraded from a lower end Casio. I have tried the Casio Privia PX-150 (and its replacement, the PX-160) and I tried the PX-350. Although their touch was nice, none seemed to produce the sound I like from the p115. Honestly, I think the sampling sound is just much better on the p115. I did notice if I play pretty heavy that the speakers seem to clip just a tiny bit but honestly I don't really notice it and no one else will either (I'm picky of such things). It truly is a beautiful piano. I also tried the p105 and I felt a difference in both sound and touch. I know though technically isn't suppose to be a difference in sampling or the weighted keys, but it still felt this way. No regrets so far!! One of the best sounds from a digital piano I have heard (outside of computer samples).

I was impressed with this piano when I first received it. Eighty-eight keys, a bank of different sounds, nice clean, sleek look.After a while, I only preferred one piano sound for practicing with, the Gran Piano. Even that gets a little muddy-sounding in the lower registers, so not a clean capture of the realistic sound. On some of the presets, such as the Bright Grand Piano, you can hear the distinct spot (about an octave-and-a-half below Middle C) where the sampled sound changes, as if Yamaha didn't bother capturing each note but did a bit of sharing instead.Five years in, and I definitely would not invest the $700 for the unit. There are many keys where you can hear the keys rubbing and the "inside the unit" physical noise has become distracting. I am almost waiting for keys to stop working altogether.Bottom line -- this is a nice-looking unit for folks who want to dabble on the keys a few minutes a day or maybe just once a week for an hour. Since I retired nine months ago, I have been on the piano more than before, and every day I practice an hour of Hanon exercises using all of the keyboard except for a half octave at both the top and bottom of the register. I am not a pounder, but this almost gentle movement of my fingers for the last nine months has generated the majority of the noises I hear. I recommend for serious players to look elsewhere. Two stars.

this keyboard is excellent for beginner, the key is heavier than the usual keyboard that mimic acoustic pianos. I understand that the price is also steeper too, but you get what you pay for and this is a much better quality than the $200 bucks ones. i must say this looks absolutely beautiful i got the stand, pedals and bench as well. i cant speak for professional pianist, but at least for a beginner like me, it works. i might consider a real piano if i can learn to play better.

--- Pros ---YamahaThe keys feels good enough--- Cons ---For the price, I expected to have multi-sampled sounds but, sadly, that's not the case. Even on Yamaha's lower end keyboards, they're sampled so when hitting the key harder, it changes the timber. They low end should have a clangy sound when struck hard and a more muted sound when played lightly. This has the same sample no matter how hard you hit it. I don't personally care about that too much because I connect it to my PC and run high-quality VST but somebody else might care so I'm letting you know.

Several buttons do not work, and the keys are dull insensitive and poorly weighted

I was shipped this keyboard and one of the keys is louder than the others. Hopefully I can get it replaced/fixed with the warranty.

I read a lot of reviews before I considered this piano. I am very very happy. I have the stand and pedals too. The sound is excellent, if you use your ears it is perfect. and there are about 12 other sounds onboard that my little piano student loves. It is a bit pricey, but if you do not want to waste your money, here you go. Action is perfect, now, if you are used to playing a Steinway or whatever high-end piano.. be realistic. If you are looking for a piano for a room in your house that sounds great or a gift or something for a student, you will love this. It has 2 headphone outs. An mp3 input would have been nice..

I was very happy with this purchase for the first few years. The keys had an ok feel, the speaker wasn't bad but the high notes are lacking, and the sound options were sufficient.It's been about 3.5 years which I believe puts it just out of warranty and now there are a few keys 3-4 that have come loose and rattle and don't function well at all. It makes it virtually unplayable if you need to repeatedly hit those keys.I wouldn't recommend this to a serious player if you want your investment to last past the warranty. Hoping Yamaha is willing to have it refurbished!
