Almost a Real Piano April 6, 2008
Graham Mccarthy (Cheshire)
21 out of 22 found this review helpful
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.
