Editorial Review
As technology has improved over the years, keyboards have been able to carry more features, better sound, and higher overall quality, all at a price point that makes sense for even the most novice of musicians and composers. This impressive keyboard set features 61 keys and 32-note polyphony. There are 482 sample sounds as well as 106 accompaniment beats, 102 built-in songs, and chord instruction options. Of interest to composers is a two-track recording set-up for those wishing to take a multi-layered approach to their compositions. We liked the wealth of features available and especially admired how accessible and easy to use they are. --Charlie Williams

Excellent Keyboard for Beginners June 8, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this keyboard to mess around and maybe learn a few chords and I was amazed at how cool this keyboard is compared to most. They say Yamaha is one of the best keyboard brands out there and now I'm a believer. I've even recorded with this keyboard, nothing professional, but it works. Has a decent quality of features and the sound is pretty good for it's price range. A perfect keyboard for any starter. One word, delightful.
Wonderful keyboard! October 6, 2007

My 8 year old daughter wanted to take piano lessons but we didn't want to invest in a full sized piano. So we started looking for a keyboard to suit our needs. We chose this one because the keys are full-sized and touch sensitive. Her piano teacher told us this was essential so she won't have problems switching from playing keyboard to piano and back again. This one has all the features that we wanted and the price is reasonable. She's been taking lessons for 9 months and loves it. She also enjoys playing with all the features of the keyboard...choosing other instrument sounds, sound effects, drum kits, pre-programmed songs, and more. She and her younger brother and sister have a blast composing their own songs and playing with all the other features. It's very sturdy and forgiving of young players.
We bought the power adapter when we bought the keyboard. And we gave her a set of headphones so she could play to her heart's content without driving the rest of the family crazy. We will eventually have to get a real piano since this keyboard only has 61 keys. But for the forseeable future this suits our needs perfectly.
We are very happy with our purchase and would recommend this keyboard to others.
Great keyboard December 29, 2005

I bought this at Sam's club for $139 and it included power adaptor and stand. We wanted our kids to learn how to play music but didn't want to spend a lot of money on a full sized piano not to mention we didn't want to deal with the size and mobility issues. This was a great inexpensive keyboard for that purpose. We haven't tried out all it can do yet but we like the sound and the songs programmed into it.
 Don't get this; get Yamaha PSR295 January 9, 2005

I have this keyboard, and it's good, but the newer model PSR295 is even better and also sold here on Amazon. It costs more money, but it comes with adapter and stand, whereas this one (PSR275) doesn't. By the time you pay for those, you are paying the same price as the PSR295 anyway, so why not just get the newer and better model?
