Customer Reviews

Great value
While an electronic keyboard at this price level will never replace a real piano, this model is an excellent value with good sound quality. In the downsizing process I had to give away my Baldwin, and have sorely missed the joy of making music. This keyboard takes up little space, and has lots of fun extras (different voices, etc.) that I have just begun to explore. The "responsive touch" feature makes this model cost a little more, but it is a must! I tried using the keyboard on my dining room table, but the height was not correct and my wrists started to hurt. I have just ordered the Yamaha double-X stand, which I would recommend for any new purchaser. Also, be sure the keyboard you purchase comes with the adapter (most 310s do not).

excellent for a non-muscian to learn to play a piano
I have no musical talent, no experience on learning to play a musical instrument, and little time to take lessons. But I do have a love for listening to piano music, especially classical. However, I bought this keyboard because I found out that learning to play a musical instrument is an excellent exercise for a senior citizen's brain to remain active and to improve focus and memory in later years. My on-line research brought my to the Yamaha entry-level keyboards. I highly recommend paying a little more for the YPT310 instead of the 210 because the extra features are very important. Also, the "AD" model must be purchased because it runs on house current instead of batteries. Excellent for a non-musician to learn a little without having to learn to read music.

Excellent choice for us
The description says it all. We were very pleased with the sound quality and the many sounds (voices) and features. When we first turned it on it was not touch sensitive. After a few moments we found the touch sensitive button, and all worked as expected. It isn't very loud which suits us fine. We have a real upright piano that is twice as loud.
I made the mistake of plugging the sustain pedal in while the keyboard was on. This caused the sustain pedal to work in reverse (sustain always on until you press the pedal). I consulted the manual and found that the sustain pedal needed to be plugged in BEFORE the keyboard was turned on.
All in all we were very impressed with this product.
