As my daughter would like to learn to play "piano", but does not intend to globally successful concert pianist to be, and perspective rather a Clavinova can be considered in place of a "real" piano (purists and unconditional supporters of the hammer mechanism technology to the here not read) this is an entry-level instrument 1a. We had two quality keyboards for comparison - oh no, that had nothing. Good, but too far from "piano like" away. Here the buttons are optically, haptically and wonderful in the weighting. The speakers are perfectly okay. We have tuned joy every day! I think it's an excellent idea from Yamaha offer this cheap and good, very special keyboard.
