Review - Yamaha YPG635 88 Key Weighted Portable Grand Piano

!±8± Review - Yamaha YPG635 88 Key Weighted Portable Grand Piano

Combine a great sounding piano sound with attractive wood finish, then add in a host of useful and advanced features and the Yamaha YPG-635 88 key weighted portable grand piano might just be the perfect portable digital piano for you. After this review, you will know significantly more about the YPG-635 including its pros and cons and other important considerations you should be aware about.

Overview

The Yamaha YPG-635 digital piano comes with standard 64 note polyphony, a two-way speaker system (separate woofers and tweeters), a handy digital display, a multi track recorder, built-in reverb effects and digital signal processing (DSP) which adds different special effects.

If that's not enough, Yamaha also throws in a fully adjustable metronome is also available together with a total of 130 voices, 12 special effects and drums kits, and 361 XGlite voices. That's quite an impressive list of voices and features for a piano of this modest cost.

The Good

For me, the big selling point of the Yamaha YPG-635 portable grand piano is the piano action which is very similar to a real piano. Just like a real acoustic piano, the weighed hammer standard action keys enables responsiveness and a touch that feels heavier on the low parts and lighter on the high notes. Every time I play this model when I see it in a music store I'm always blown away by how fun it is to play.

Equally impressive is the pleasing quality of the grand piano sound which is all made possible by Yamaha's proprietary AWM technology which produces exquisitely realistic sounds. What makes sound quality even better is the digital signal processing which enhances the overall sound quality of the piano and really takes it to the next level.

I can't let this review go by without mentioning the aesthetic quality of this model. The neutral wood accents really make one of the most attractive portable pianos I've seen in a long while and make it the perfect addition to any room.

The Bad

Sometimes I found myself overwhelmed by the sheer number of features the YPG-635 has. As someone who just likes to sit down and play the piano it can get overwhelming. However, once you read the manual and figure out what each button does you'll have no problems.

Another possible downside for this model would be its small display which can be quite of a hindrance to those who are relying on the display for digital sheet music while playing. Sadly, there is no available option to make it bigger.

Unless you are using an external amplifier, the volume of the speakers might actually be disappointing to those who play with the YPG-635 in front of a live audience.

Final Verdict

Overall, the Yamaha YPG-635 88 key portable grand piano is a terrific buy considering its realistic grand piano sound and authentic piano action. When you take into account the incredible number of features that Yamaha has packed into this piano, nothing can come close. Somehow Yamaha has found that elusive sweet spot of sound, action, features and price. That's quite a remarkable achievement in a very competitive market.

Despite a few minor annoyances, this model scores so amazingly well on every criteria that I don't hesitate to give the flagship Yamaha YPG-635 top marks all around. So when it comes to looking for a great portable digital piano for a reasonable cost, this particular model should be the first model on your list to consider.

How to Buy a Piano (For Those Who Don't Know Where to Start)

!±8± How to Buy a Piano (For Those Who Don't Know Where to Start)

With so many different types of pianos to buy, how do you know which one to buy? This article gives an overview of the different types of pianos out there and aims to address the pros and cons with purchasing each type.

The Keyboard

You can pick these up anywhere relatively cheaply. Often you can get them at the drugstore!

Pros:

Light and portable.

Has a lot of cool sounds that can make playing interesting.

Doesn't take up a lot of room.

Relatively inexpensive.

You can play with headphones on so you don't disturb your neighbors.

You don't have to tune it!

You can use it as a midi device to music writing software on your computer.

Great for beginners who don't want to invest too money initially.

Cons:

Often does not have all 88 keys like on a real piano.

Quality of sound isn't as good.

The keys are not weighted like on a real piano. Contrasting volumes (hitting hard on the keys verses playing lightly) is limited as a result.

As one gets more and more advanced at piano, s/he will soon "outgrow" it.

If you live in an area with power failures, this can be a problem.

The Digital Piano

Yamaha, Korg, Roland, Kawai are all good brands.

Pros:

Still not as bulky as a real piano

The keys are more weighted, allowing more freedom of expression when striking the keys.

You don't have to tune it.

Is often more comfortable to sit at than a keyboard, making practicing more enjoyable for long periods of time.

Often have all 88 keys.

Are a good choice for someone who wants the closest thing to a piano, but doesn't have the budget or vice versa.

You can use headphones.

Cons:

You get what you pay for. The more you pay for a digital the better it will feel to your fingers.

It still does not compare to a real piano.

Low end digital pianos often have a "tin can" sound. Really expensive ones (the 00+ range) can have beautiful surround sound, but then, they are more money.

The more advanced you get, this too, will be outgrown. If auditioning for music college someday, don't practice on this.

Acoustic Pianos

Excellent brands are Steinway, Yamaha, Baldwin, Kawai, Bersendorfor. But there are other factors involved in the mechanics of a piano that are out of the manufacturers control, such as how well it had been maintained by a previous owner, if any. Additionally, there are such things as acoustic pianos that are horrible to play - the ones that you can spend hours and hours practicing on and it will never ever let you sound good. In contrast, there are acoustic pianos that can give your fingers a massage as they "melt" into the keyboard. Before buying any acoustic piano, spend time playing a lot of different ones first!

Upright pianos

Pros:

Fully weighted keys for full freedom of expression, especially the subtle ones.

The sound is out of this world!

It is great for practicing for an audition on, because it's the real thing.

It is more comfortable to sit at for long periods of time.

Has all 88 keys.

Some of the newer ones have the option of headphones.

Cons:

They are generally expensive to buy.

Moving is expensive because they are so heavy.

Tuning and repairing can be really annoying and expensive, not matter where you live.

It's big and takes up a lot of room.

Older pianos don't allow headphones.

Grand Pianos:

Pros:

If you want to fill up the whole house with surround sound, this is the daddy of them all.

Fully weighted keys.

Has all 88 keys.

Very comfortable to sit at for long periods of practicing.

Some of them allow headphones.

You can play really really loud.

It's a beautiful piece of furniture.

Cons:

Expensive to buy.

Expensive to move.

Expensive to tune and maintain.

Take up a lot of room.

With any purchase, make sure that you do your research thoroughly in order to make the most informed decision. At the end of the day, you should buy the piano that you want to buy. Buying a piano is a very personal decision, just like wine. There is no right or wrong, just understanding what you want and what your needs are.

Hopefully this article helps you on your quest on how to buy a piano. For more related articles, visit the author's blog at http://pianolessonvancouver.com
