 Fantastic Practise Piano October 20, 2008
L. Gill (Leeds, UK)

Since starting uni, after just putting Grade 7 under my belt, I found it difficult to keep up with my piano playing due to the lack of pianos...so I went out and bought this Yamaha keyboard. It doesn't have the thousand different songs, sound effects and voices that the majority of electronic keyboards have...which is a plus. Instead, there's a clavinova style collection of sounds, which are suprisingly realistic.
The keyboard itself responds well to pressure...so if you want to play quiet/loud/legato/staccato, you can. The only issue I have is the keys themselves. They still feel like an electronic keyboard with no weight in them. (that may just be because I'm used to playing on acoustic pianos)
saying that, i would definatley recommend it to someone who needs a cheap alternative to an acoustic piano or clavinova, whether experienced or just starting to learn!
 A fabulous piano! September 11, 2008

This piano was purchased for my son. I have to say Yamaha have done it again! They have created a very affordable grand piano which sounds like a real piano, it is light and compact albiet quite a long item just as a piano should be. I heard complaints about the 'graded touch system' but i have to say having tried the new graded touch system, to me it feels wonderful and makes the playing experience actually easier, no heavy wieghted keys to press seems like a bonus to me. The keys actually get lighter to the touch as you get to the higher keys creating the feel of an acoustic piano. In this day and age where musicians are on the move and need a compact storage solution, the NP-30 really does fit the bill and the price for this unit is very very cheap. My only complaint is the difficulty in finding a suitable gig bag, the slim design makes for an awkard fit for most keyboard bags. Maybe Yamaha have a bag for this instrument which i just have'nt come across yet.
Almost a Real Piano April 6, 2008

I was recently in the market for a new, inexpensive stage piano and took the opportunity to visit a local store to do some market research. This is really important if you're going to use it for more than just tinkering about on, there's no substitute for actually trying before you buy. I have certainly struggled in the past to adapt to my teacher's traditional acoustic piano after playing my older and light-touch electric piano.
The NP30 is compact and inexpensive with decent features (MIDI, 10 Voices, Reverb and optional sustain pedal), but the feel of the Graded Touch keyboard just doesn't feel right. The keys are overly light and plastic and give no discernable feel, having a peculiar mechanical action, I suspect that they use spring resistance only. The touch of the keys is so important if you're going to actually play it don't you think? Although inexpensive and a lot of piano for the money, this is not in my opinion, the piano to start taking lessons with.
If you're looking for a first piano or have just booked your child's first piano lesson, I would avoid the NP30 if possible and if the budget permits, go for a Yamaha model with weighted keys that will feel much more like a `real' piano. The Yamaha P70 (recently replaced by the P85) is more expensive but has a far superior touch. On the P70/P85 Yamaha have used the Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) weighted keyboard and it does feel remarkably close to that of an acoustic piano. I suspect that the P70 and P85 would also have a better re-sale value.
Excellent portable keyboard without the frills November 21, 2007

This 'digital piano' does exactly what it strives for. It provides an excellent rehearsal instrument, which is also capable of standing up to performance. As a professional musician who needed a portable instrument to lead choir rehearsals, this is excellent. It has a good piano sound, and is loud enough to support an average size choir.
The biggest advantage, apart from its small, light and compact size, is the price. At around 150 it is available alongside several other 'keyboards' that compensate for a poor piano sound with around 600 voices and songs that you don't need. This piano cuts out all of that, leaving a basic, but excellent sounding 10 voices and 10 demo tracks (good ones), plus a metronome, transposition capabilites and tuner.
It also boasts 'piano style' touch-sensitivity, in which the bass end is weighted more heavily than the treble. The keys have a nice feel to them, allowing excellent control of the instrument.
For those of you looking for a budget clavinova-type instrument you need look no further. This is excellent.
Just what I needed August 22, 2007

I have another piano at home but I wanted a light keyboard with built in sounds, decent feel and good sounds and batteries as a "take away" instrument. This has them all - I just took it on holiday for 2 weeks and played it every day. I am really pleased with it as a "bung in the car" instrument. I just wish there was a nice case to go with it - I bought a gig bag which is miles too big really, though I bought it in a hurry - there may be better options - I just bought the one the shop recommended. Docked a star as the speakers are a OK but a bit feeble -through headphones it sounds great.
