I just learned how to play the guitar and I really wanted to tackle another musical instrument, so I thought of the piano. As I am on a really tight budget and have such a small space I went with this keyboard, the Yamaha YPT-220 and I’m glad that I did.

I’ve only had it for about three days but already can play a few things. It comes with a built in Y.E.S. (Yamaha Education Suite)which teaches you how to play over 100 songs. However, you may have to pause frequently because the notes are played standard, not slowed down. Now, there were some complaints about not being able to hit the lower notes, which you cannot on this keyboard. In order to do that you’ll need the 76 key keyboard. But, if you are like me and on a tight budget or have a small space then this keyboard is perfect.

I’ve been going on Youtube and seeing how to play certain songs that I like and so far all the songs I want to play, it’s been possible because there are just enough keys. Also, this keyboard DOES come with the power adapter and it does work. This keyboard is made of plastic, so don’t expect anything metal. I don’t have a problem with it being made of plastic. It doesn’t take away from the overall look of the keyboard. Please do be aware that the keys are not just like piano keys. They are close, but they are not weighted. So, be careful when pressing them. I feel that I got my money’s worth out of it and am not disappointed.

I bought this keyboard for my grandaughter. She started playing guitar last year and was ready to try and learn how to play the keyboard. I didn’t want to spend too much and got this item for less than $100. There are plenty of features to play around with and it came with the adapter to plug it in. With only 61 keys, she will be limited in what she learns. If she shows an interest, then I will purchase a 76 or 88 key personal keyboard.

I bought this keyboard for my five year old who was beginning piano lessons. She loves it and the sound and quality are fantastic. I highly recommend this keyboard for beginners.

Really good product. Amazing shipping. Excellent seller.

1000% Happy and Satisfied.
