BEHRINGER CDP-2000 Digital Piano Overview


When BEHRINGER started the EUROGRAND project, thet invited concert pianists, church musicians and piano teachers to give us input on their digital dream piano. They came up with a wish list that appeared just about impossible to achieve: They wanted a digital piano to rival the sound of the finest acoustic piano. It should incorporate an 88-key, weighted hammer-action keyboard that provides the touch and feel of a concert grand. Far from done with their requests, they also asked for 14 authentic instrument sounds, 80 Watts of stereo power and a 2-track sequencer for rehearsals. All built into an elegant wood grain cabinet with black finish. Impossible? BEHRINGER did it. After 2 years of hard work, those musicians have approved our masterpiece. While there are no strings attached, the EUROGRAND CDP-2000 sounds and feels like real. And music to your ears: It has a price that everyone can afford.

88-KEY Portable Educational Keyboard

88-KEY Portable Educational Keyboard Review



Great value, and a marked improvement over the old 500 and 505 models. The speakers produce a richer sound tone, and the display window is much clearer and easier to read. Additional features over the 505 include one-touch "auto-accompaniment", where you can try different background rhythms to your recorded notes (jazz, rock, salsa, etc) at a single touch of a button. There are a few more voices to choose from, and the "sweet" sounds are more realistic than on the old models. The unit looks better as a whole, being a sleek silver instead of a dull plastic beige. Also, the controls are a lot more "touch friendly", especially the selection "spin wheel" that lets you choose features much faster than the older models did.

Connectivity is much simpler than on the 500, requiring only a simple USB cord instead of a special MIDI cord.

The one downside of this keyboard is that a USB drive is the only portable media compatible with this unit, and unfortunately they place the plug-in port in the back, which make it somewhat difficult to reach over and plug the drive in while you're trying to play and select. Because of this, I take away a star, and hope that in their next model, Yamaha will put the USB port somewhere in FRONT where it's easy to reach and plug the drive.

I actually recommend this unit over the DGX 620 (Yamaha's highest available model at the time of this review). All features are exactly the same on the two models, except the keys in the 620 are weighted to as close to a real piano as you'll get. Yamaha calls them 'Graded Hammer Standard' keys.

The 520 does not have the GHS keys, but the trade-off (besides a considerably lower cost than the 620) is a lot of weight...the 620 unit as a whole weighs 19 lbs more than the 520 unit. So if you're a traveling musician like me and have to load and unload your keyboard all the time carrying your instrument to your gigs, you're actually much better off with the 520. Get the 620 only if you want a more realistic feel and don't want to move the keyboard a lot.

Overall, an excellent instrument...and if you have any of the older models, I highly recommend an upgrade!

Williams Overture 88-Key Digital Piano

Williams Overture 88-Key Digital Piano Review



This digital piano looks great, and sounds even better.

I am glad I bought it. I was looking for good quality without spending thousands, and that's what I got.

I feel very positively about the instrument. It offers what I wanted: a few basic voices (I mostly just wanted a good piano sound- it offers 3 of them), and a very high quality sound.

(The negatives, and these are minor for most players: I often use a very light touch on the keys...the 3 piano voices do not pick that up too well, even though the instrument has touch sensitivity options. Much like some baby grand pianos, I have to strike the keys a little harder to get sound, which is not my style. For most players though, this will not even be an issue.

Another negative is that the sustain pedal does not have as heavy as a sustain on the piano sounds as I would like... again, this is something relative to my style of playing and will not affect most players. Plus, it lets you add and adjust reverb.)

In any event, for this price I got much, much more than I expected. I am extremely pleased.

Has it's own internal speaker...You can plug headphones into it too...Some assembly is required.

Hohner Morgane Two-Row Button Accordion, Key GC, Walnut

Hohner Morgane Two-Row Button Accordion, Key GC, Walnut Review



The Hohner Morgane is a fine melodeon, none better for the price. I ordered one in GC to play French tunes that I acquired from the tabedit library. Unfortunately, I received one in BC. When I called customer service to get permission to return it, the representative had some difficulty understanding that there is a substantial difference between a BC and a GC melodeon, but eventually I received permission for the return. The good part of the experience was that Amazon did a decent job on the return, but the bad part of the experience was that Amazon's employees seemed to have no understanding of melodeons. I ended up purchasing a GC Morgane for less money from accordion-o-rama, and they know what they are doing.

Casio PX110 Privia 88-key Digital Piano Kit with Stand and AC Adapter

Casio PX110 Privia 88-key Digital Piano Kit with Stand and AC Adapter Review



The weighted keyboard feels a lot like a real piano. It is nice to be able to play pipe organ sounds and experiment with combinations of sounds. You can use any two instruments at the same time...Grand piano and strings is wonderful as is Grand piano 2 and electric piano 2. The recorded library is very nice as well. The sound is pretty full on all of them. Not exactly like playing a pipe organ or a piano, but that is not expected on a keyboard.
The pedal plug ins are great. You can plug in to sustain or soft. You can also adjust the tone, loudness, and a host of other things by pressing function and a combination of keys. They have thought of most everything I needed. Also you can use a headset so you can play while others are sleeping!

Yamaha YPG-235 76-Key Portable Grand Piano Premium Pack

Yamaha YPG-235 76-Key Portable Grand Piano Premium Pack Feature


  • 76 piano-style keys with Graded Soft Touch (GST) action
  • Backlit LCD, panel lights, pitch bend wheel
  • 6-track sequencer allows you to record your own music
  • Portable Grand Button: industry's best piano
  • USB & Flash ROM to download new Songs and Styles for playing



Yamaha YPG-235 76-Key Portable Grand Piano Premium Pack Overview


If you’re looking for a reasonably priced piano replacement, look no further than the YPG-235. It is the music student or professional musicians’ answer to “I need more keys!” and many music teachers encourage new students to get a keyboard that will grow with their needs. It features 76 non-weighted keys that not only look like piano keys but have a Graded Soft Touch (GST) action with different levels of resistance, making it easier for a budding musician to move to an acoustic or digital piano. The YPG-235 delivers on its piano theme with a special mode of fingering called Full Keyboard Mode. This allows the player to play the keyboard like a piano; for example a chord with the right hand and bass notes with the left. When using the accompaniment feature, the virtual band will follow these chords. Traditional portable keyboards normally require you to chord on the left side of the keyboard, in the bass section, which is foreign to most piano players. The YPG-235 is also capable of this mode, for those who prefer it. The YPG-235 also has 30 built-in songs plus 70 more on included CD-ROM for you to learn to play using the Yamaha Education Suite. The songs are separated into left and right hand parts, providing 7 levels of lessons plus a convenient chord dictionary. This package includes a pair of professional closed-cup headphones, X-style keyboard stand, and power supply.

Yamaha YDP161 Digital Piano with Bench

Yamaha YDP161 Digital Piano with Bench Review



I am absolute newbie with sight-reading experience from my former choir signing days! I wanted to learn to play a piano but did not want the tuning and expense of owning the real McCoy and then find i didn't want to play it. Especially living in an apartment there were the neighbors to consider as well as the premium floor space. Then I came upon the digital piano and this form solved all my problems in one quiet swoop. You get what you pay for, so do some research on your must have and budget. I just knew that i wanted a brand name in the world of music so the yamaha was a given. Now I was deciding between the 161 and the 141, both new models released on 2010. I finally went with the 161 for the better hammer action and that it offered the 128 notes polyphony. These might be minor issues for you, but my passion to learn made me decide that rather than upgrade later, I would splash out a little bit more now and have the piano for a lot longer. If you live in an apartment like me, the bigger speaker offered by the 161 was not a huge selling point as I practice most of time with the head phones. Only when I wanted to show piece a well practiced piece do I unplug the headphones. The size of this piano is awesome and compact in depth and with the 88 keys, you have the grand piano sound without taking up a lot of space.

Other features include a metronome than can adjust for different time signature like 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, etc; 50 preset songs were you can mute either the right or left hand and you can practice with it (this is really for the intermediate player, but nice to look foreword to! The piano defaults to the grand piano output, but you can switch to outputs that include the organ sound, harpsichord, strings. Also nice are the options to set various digital reverb ranging from hall, room, stage or off, which is the default setting. You could also manually set the reverb effect, which is worth doing as it does change the output quite considerably.
The piano also records up to two tracks, which for a beginner is a great way to learn which part of the score that you need to practice the timing a bit more!

The 161 has two headphone plug INS to allow for a second listener. There is midi that allows you to record more of your own music onto a computer (for composition) or you can down load music to the piano too.

The weights of the keys are superb and I am loving the experience, the sound and the accessibility the digital format offer me.

For the price it is reasonable. It is worth shopping around for competitive bundles. I did not end up buying my piano here. But I am so happy with my experience that I really highly recommend this model for beginners who are looking to progress to play full scores. For beginners, I recommend the Alfred's adult all in one course. It is by far the best series out there. For a novice in the world of music theory, My husband is really impressed with the progress that I have made in less than one week.

For those who have wanted to fulfill a dream, don't hesitate any more, this is the best option and you will love yourself for buying it. Happy playing,



Yamaha YDP161 Digital Piano with Bench Feature


  • 88-key GH(Graded Hammer) weighted action keyboard
  • Dynamic Stereo Sampling AWM piano with 128-note polyphony
  • 2-track recorder with Flash-ROM song storage
  • Polished gold-colored Damper, Soft and Sostenuto pedals

15 Key Cypren Vambe Signature Shona Mbira/Kalimba from Zimbabwe

15 Key Cypren Vambe Signature Shona Mbira/Kalimba from Zimbabwe Review





15 Key Cypren Vambe Signature Shona Mbira/Kalimba from Zimbabwe Feature


  • 15 key created in the nyunga nyunga style/tuning
  • Pre-stained - Made from Mukwa wood
  • Excellent tone and sustain
  • Shipped Quickly!



15 Key Cypren Vambe Signature Shona Mbira/Kalimba from Zimbabwe Overview


Cypren Vambe is a prominent Mbira Maker from Zimbabwe. A master at his craft he works outside Harare with his 5 sons to create these wonderful instruments. Hand made from a block of Mukwa wood otherwise known in the Shona language as the Mubvamaropa tree, which is quite a difficult tree to come by they explained to me. Apparently found in the more rural parts of Zim when they locate a Mukwa tree thats suitable they have to meet with the village elders to get permission to use it. This Mbira has 15 metal keys and this has a particularly great tone to it with decent sustain. When each key is made they use a master mbira to adjust each key to sound the same as that master mbiras keys ensuring it is tuned correctly.Jeke (Jack) Tapera introduced the Mbira Nyunga Nyunga in the 1960s from Tete province of Mozambique to Kwanongoma College of African music (now United College of Music) in Bulawayo. Two keys were then added to make fifteen (Chirimumimba, 2007), in two rows. The mbira nyunga nyunga is similar in construction to the Mbira Dzavadzimu, but has no hole in the soundboard. Key pitch radiates out from the center, rather than from left to right.Zimbabwe's Dumisani Maraire originated mbira nyunga nyunga number notation. The upper row keys (from left) are keys 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 while the bottom row keys are notated as 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15. Maraire brought awareness of this instrument to the United States when he came to the University of Washington as a visiting artist from 1968-1972.Recently a Midlands State University (Gweru, Zimbabwe) lecturer in the department of music and musicology has suggested a letter notation; the upper keys as (from first left upper key) E, D, C, F, C, D, and E and the lower or bottom keys as (from the first lower key) A, G, F, A, F, C, D, and E. But the Maraire number notation has remained the internationally accepted system (Chirimumimba, 2007).
