I' have only just started to learn how to play piano, but I wanted a full, 88-key keyboard and this one had the best price for a well-known and trusted company. There are cheaper 88-key keyboards out there, but reviews say they don't last long before something quits working on them. Yamaha has a good reputation, so I chose to go with them.

.I use the keyboard to practice the piano as I began taking lessons again recently. I also use it to write and record music using the background accompaniments. I love the real piano like feel and sound. I love the variety of instruments and backgrounds.

This is a great keyboard if you're looking to get on the path to be the next Ben Folds. 88 Keys, with a built in stand, makes practicing at home a fun a decorative experience. Although this keyboard doesn't offer weighted keys, it does provide you with great Yamaha sounds and the ability to play along with drum tracks, as well as the ability to record some of your song ideas. Its an overall winner in my book, if you're looking to get started on a budget. This is a real hands on product review from Steve at Sam Ash Indianapolis

This is a great keyboard. The detachable legs make it great for travel, however the legs give it a great look for an item you are keeping at home. This keyboard is full of features including tons of different sounds, built in recording for songwriting, and a metronome. This keyboard is great for the beginner or intermediate player. I highly recommend this product. This is a hands-on review from Coty at Sam Ash 57

The Yamaha YPG-535 88-Key Portable Grand Piano is the piano for you If you've been playing for a while and are looking to step up your game a bit, but you don't have the type of budget that allows you to buy a $1500 keyboard. Intermediate players are probably best fit for this board, though anyone can use it. It has a large number of instruments and the sound quality is amazing.

A great keyboard for the buy, amazing sounds and full size. This has a base that comes with it for more of a conventional home use. However the base is easily removed for traveling or gigging. Excellent for any beginner to semi-professional players. The keys are not weighted but the have a great touch response to at least practice dynamics.

Ideal for the beginning or novice players, but can keep up with the professional as well. If you're looking for a keyboard to learn , practice, or perfect your piano playing the YPG-535 is the perfect choice! Full 88 keys,stand and a load of sounds and functions make this a keyboard you can grow into. One thing I love is Yamaha's lyric,notation and chord display. Any music that you play, whether it's one of the built-in songs, or one you saved from the interenet, will automatically scroll on the large display screen! You want to record your own music? No problem! The keyboard will also play your notes on the screen after you save them and play them back. What an awesome way to learn, write and play music. Singers can also take advantage of the displayed lyrics as well. Another feature I love is the "one touch" settings. This setting does all the work for you, removing the boring process of going through the entire sound bank just to find the right one for the song you want to play. How cool is that?! **This is a hands-on review by Justin @ Sam Ash Ontario
