Anything Better than Yamaha DGX-640 Piano keyboard for the Price?

If you play the Yamaha DGX-640 88 key keyboard, then you will really appreciate what Yamaha has provided in this keyboard. Though I will be tempted to say that this is a value piano keyboard, I'm in no way suggesting that this is a cheap keyboard. The moment you hear the term "value for money", most people think that it is cheap quality stuff. Not here at all! What I'm suggesting here is that the things that are on offer, and the quality and feel of the keys puts this on par with many expensive pianos. It may not look as pretty though, but it definitely is bang for your bucks.

If you have played piano before, you will realize that the versatility of this piano, its weighted keys, the USB function and other arranger keyboard like features like portability make this keyboard very unique considering its cost.

Till now, you would have had to spend a lot more to get those same set of features that is available on the Yamaha DGX-640 88 key piano keyboard.

Doesn’t matter if you are a beginner student trying to learn, or a piano teacher look for a practice piano, or a musician looking for a piano for church, or for the studio, you have found yourself a worthwhile product.

Even if you have owned or own an acoustic piano at home, you may consider this if you are looking for a genuine second keyboard, which can be used for practicing or for gigs, considering that it is a portable piano.

Excellent realistic sound, excellent graded weighted action, top quality feel of the keys, and overall fine-quality build keyboard available at sub 1000 dollars makes the Yamaha DGX-640 piano keyboard a value buy.
