FarmerBob - (August 24, 2006) This is the best piece of audio gear I have purchased in a long time. It doesn't look like much, but does it perform. For years I have dreamed of archiving and having my vinyl on CD or as digital files. My good tables are long gone and my beaters are dead. This setup makes it so very easy. I have only used the USB connection, but it also has RCA with an onboard preamp with line switching and gain. This will make it easy to hook up to just about any system. It also has a stereo mini jack on the front to feed in a tape player or the like. This only works if hooked up via USB. The provided software, Audacity (Freeware) is OK (I got V1.2.5, the manual is for 1.2.4, and 1.3 is on its way), a

pughimag - (March 10, 2006) I have owned this piano for over a year and I like the touch and the sound so it has been good for practice. I recently used it for Ivory pianos and I found the noisy keys to be distracting. Also, when I was on a gig I would have to use the headphone jacks to connect to a PA system. I gave the P-70 to my grand daughter to help her with her lessons and went to the P-155 which unfortunately is heavier but does not have the noisy keys and the other features I feel are important. I would still recommend this piano (or the P95) because Yamaha have done a great job with the feel and the sound for a reasonable price.

Bargugl - (February 07, 2006) If you are looking for an inexpensive practice piano or a very lightweight portable stage piano, this is an excellent buy. You simply can not buy a fully weighted 88-key keyboard for less than this. You will not find a better action or sound for less than $1000. This piano is the replacement for the Casio PX-100 and its main improvements are an improved action and an improved piano sound. The action is heavier than the old PX-100. It is also a heavier action than the Korg Triton or an old Roland I play at church. In my opinion, the action was more realistic than either the Roland or the old PX-100. Compared to the Korg, it is a toss-up as it is a matter of personal taste on what type of f

johnaaron5 - (01/17/2012) I never write reviews but i had to give these props, I have been in audio for 20 year so of course I was skeptical....probably the best value I have ever gotten for the money... I was expecting a toy since I really didn't need these for our main speakers just backup practice gear.. I opened these things and I was like wow this isnt a toy! I traded our stage speakers for these... and I spent triple the money on them... just saying.. nice to actually get something that exceeds my expectations for once...

Judith1942 - (01/05/2012) I've been using my Valdesta for 8 years and it's still going strong. It's not an expensive instrument but I'd rather have it than a standard piano because I can play chords and sing at the same time. If a song is written too high or too low for me to sing it, I simply raise or lower the key by pressing a button. Awesome!
