In short, the is a pretty awesome digital piano. For the aspiring pianist, it might be considered a prime choice for developing the skills needed to play on a full sized piano, but in the size of a digital version instead. In this review, we will take a quick look at the features, as well as take a glance at a couple of customer reviews so you can decide if this might be something you want to look into for yourself, or the musician in your family.
Getting a look at the reviews of the Yamaha DGX640W, you will notice that it comes with:
- 88-key Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) weighted action
- Decorative wooden stand
- More DSP effects for more realism of all Voices
- Back lit LCD displays lyrics, chords & notation
- Front panel USB TO DEVICE: connect optional USB storage devices
For the serious pianist looking to take their skills to the next level, this may be the choice for you. In fact, Yamaha’s own product description states that:
Yamaha’s most piano-like Portable Grand ever. It has weighted Graded Hammer Standard action with matte finish black keys and a wide selection of Voices. Selecting a sound is as easy as keying in a number, and recording performances is simple with the built-in recorder.
While we have provided a ton of good stuff on this model so far, it is not without its drawbacks. Looking a little further and deeper at the Yamaha DGX 640W we can, in fact, come up with a few negatives:
- The audio transfer for recordings can come back with quality that is of a suspect quality
- It is aimed at players who are looking to play to an above average level of dedication
Reviews of the piano tend to be very high, with only the audio recording issues coming back as a negative.
Looking at a short excerpt of an actual review on the Yamaha DGX640W shows us this from reviewer “W.S.”:
I’m a novice when it comes to piano playing but I’ve been listening to piano all my life and I can tell you that this instrument has really accurate piano voices. The keys feel exactly like a piano with weighted keys. The lower keys feel heavier than the higher keys, and the things you can do with this are amazing, import music, record and export your own creations, over 530 voices… Comes with a sustain pedal.
