Review for the Yamaha NP30
The Yamaha NP30 doesn't come with a weighted keyboard but it does have the Graded Soft-Touch keyboard which means it doesn't have the same weighted feel as an acoustic piano, but there are different levels of resistance in different areas of the keyboard.
This gives the NP-30 a more quality feel but also, not having the weighted keys allows the keyboard to be very light weight,. The keyboard weighs only 12 pounds making it very portable. Also, the NP-30 will run on 6 AA batteries.
A fantastic use for the NP-30 that gets me excited is the ability to take it anywhere, including camping. The guitar is no longer the only portable camping instrument.
For a more realistic piano like sound, Yamaha uses AWM Stereo Piano Samples. This is how Yamaha produces sounds digitally. To produce a stereo sound, two microphones are used.
One of the nice facial appearance is the dual voice option. This means that you can choose two different sounds at the same time. Strings are a nice addition touch to the piano.
The keyboard has a built-in metronome which helps for practicing piano. You can also use the metronome in different time signatures - 3/4, 4/4, and 6/8.
The Yamaha NP30 comes with 76 keys, 32 notes of polyphony, 10 voices, 5 reverb settings, sustain pedal jack, 2 speakers, MIDI IN/OUT terminals, phones/output jack, 10 voice demo songs, 10 piano specific songs, transposition, fine tuning, and touch sensitivity controls, and music rest. The keyboard can either run on batteries or you can power it up with an (included) AC power adapter.
If you want a low cost portable piano for gigging or jamming anywhere from the subway to the beach to the mountains, you might like this Yamaha keyboard. Retail is 9, but it's available in a few places for 9 and you can find free shipping as well.
Piano Gallery Direct is one site that has it for Free shipping.
