Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

The grand piano sound is the single biggest reason people buy this keyboard. Comment after comment singles out the Live! Grand Piano / CFX voice as exceptional for an entry-level instrument, with buyers saying it sold them on the purchase outright. Several owners and even a professional keyboardist note it uses the same patch found in far pricier Yamaha workstations. Strings, flute, and Super Articulation Lite voices are also frequently highlighted as standout, realistic-sounding tones.

Beginners and older learners find it remarkably easy to pick up. Multiple users in their 60s and 70s, plus complete musical novices, describe learning to play dozens or even over a hundred songs by ear within months, without reading music or taking lessons. Reviewers' videos are repeatedly credited with guiding purchase decisions for first-time buyers, parents buying for children, and people returning to music after decades away.

The lightweight keybed and long-term durability draw the most criticism. Some players moving from acoustic or weighted-action keyboards describe the keys as stiff on the upper half or feeling like a 'cheap toy' compared to keyboards like the P-45. A handful of long-term owners report dead or dropped keys appearing after a few years of regular use, with one noting it was hard to get repaired locally. Stock shortages also frustrated several would-be buyers.
