After weeks of selection and reading of tens Reviews, reviews and some friendlies (including devices from Kawai, Korg, Casio, Yamaha itself) we are for our piano learners daughter almost two years ago, after all of this Yamaha P-35B landed (which we first always to "cheap" occurred - and was therefore not even so does honor) and did not regret the purchase.
We have in addition to purchasable fixed stand (Yamaha L-85) is selected, in which it fits perfectly: Both harmonizes very well with each other and looks like "all of a piece".
This is a very solid crafted electric piano: It has a weighted 88-key, although derogating from the attack of a real piano a little, but not really disturbing. They also noted that they are made of plastic, they have no "Wood Feeling" - but that is negligible in this price range.
Importantly: My daughter has no problems to switch from this electric piano on the "real" piano during piano teacher and vice versa.
Outwardly, it looks simple, nevertheless - or perhaps because - it acts pleasantly low-key and thus significantly valent than the price suggests.
The music rest is very useful. She has a little game, but basically sits very firmly in the anchor, is at a comfortable angle and keeps loose even an A4 lever arch files.
It leaves little "game stuff" to and * just * why it was selected. The few things that are possible are still somewhat useful, tw. but even gimmick:
(Selection of the most important settings)
- There is a switchable metronome, which is clearly audible, but still playing not hindered and still relatively pleasant stays in the background.
- A few examples are automatic song stored
- Two "Grand Piano" -Klänge stored
- You can choose between 10 instruments / sounds
- The keyboard can be split
- There is a MIDI port
Most will, however, rarely used here as well and when it would be even more, it would entice the child to just playing around. Above all, it serves as a "replacement-piano" and so the additional Spielkram sufficient absolutely!
Who for other purposes it - for example, playing in a band or for any synthesizer stuff - would take, is hereby then but served rather wrong. There is also not intended.
The sound is surprisingly good and was in a test with equipment a similar price range (or even significantly higher) the best. This ultimately also initiated to purchase. The sound without headphones is good and the internal speakers work without hesitation. With headphones however, it is again better. Here it is worth buying good headphones.
With a few minor negative points one has MMN but live:
- Certainly the biggest shortcoming: The stop is relatively noisy, even during normal game it sounds as if you were meaningless pat on the keys. For slightly faster pieces or firm pressure it acts as if you were banging really hard on the keys. This disrupts then fast times, when you play with headphones and the environment of this "rattling" will notice.
- The additional functions are not really called on the keys, but are hervorrufbar only about complicated key combinations. My daughter had the but out quickly. I would have to read over and over again.
- Me personally bothers that the plugs sit back of the unit for the headset. Our piano is on the wall and it has to be slipped each time.
- The included pedal is not the best and a bit "shaky", here is worth the purchase of zukaufbaren better.
- It does not have a recording function (that would have been the only thing I still considered additionally be useful would)
- There is no purchasable, matching cover.
- The surface is relatively rough; to say bad dusting / cleaning.
It is a cheap, but not cheap electric piano, which beginners and casual players can accompany long time. If you really want more, you have to look very * different price equal to a *. Above all, I am glad that it includes * no * Spielkram as hundreds Schalterchen and petty speculators.
Simple - comfortable - well playable
