Great Yamaha keyboard
I bought this for my kid and myself. I loved being able to pick up at the store. I don't want a keyboard sitting outside my house after being delivered. This is great sounding and it has a lot of sounds and beats. Even though it has midi I like that I don't need a computer. And I like that it's made by a reputable music company like Yamaha.

A passing fancy!
Having had previous keyboards, including a top line model in the 1990's, and a small one for use when traveling, I am disappointed with this keyboard. I thought after 30 years, there would be more flexibility in setup. I use split keyboard, and have always had two instruments on right, and something different on left. Yamaha has no individual volume adjustment, so the secondary right "sound" is not loud enough, should be adjustable. Same for the left hand on split keyboard. Also should be adjustable for key, so that left hand could be an octave higher, as my previous 2 keyboards and digital piano were able to do.

This has been such a fun pickup for me! I was unsure if I was "too old" to learn piano so I love how relatively low cost and small this keyboard was. It's also LOADED with fun features that I never thought I'd use. While the onboard metronome is very useful, adding some drum beats after I've gotten a song down makes learning all the hokey intro songs so much more enjoyable.
Great beginner keyboard

Great keyboard, I'm a beginner and it suits my needs just fine. At this point, I'm just using the piano mode to learn, I have not experimented with the buttons and settings. It is a pleasure to play, and the sound is very good. Plenty loud for my small room. I believe this will be more than adequate for me for quite some time.
Fairly easy to use

It's a nice keyboard and good sounding faux instruments. Easily playable keys. The piano takes some getting used to as I had a previous model from many years ago that was fairly easy to use. I could modify the drum patters more easily but maybe I just haven't figured out yet how todo so
