Perfect for my daughter to start learning

The sound is really like a real Piano, the weight of the keyboards is heavy as a Piano. My daughter of 9y start to learn, and the size is compact so is very versatil to put anywhere. The only disappointment is here in Chile I cannot get the stand. I want it, I would look so nice.

It could be improved, but it is a useful tool.

I like the concept and the design, it is truly a useful tool; especially if you do not have the room for a piano. However, you cannot treat it like a piano, and playout your music in its full strength, for the keys begin to rattle after a while, which is most unpleasant. Still, as I said it is a useful tool...

Finally, fewer keys - but why discontinue this model?!

I bought this as soon as it came out because I've been waiting for years and years for a keyboard with a fully weighted action but with fewer than 88 keys, because there's no need or point to carting around the octaves at the either end for most kinds of gigs. I was just about to buy ANOTHER P-121 when I discovered that Yamaha has discontinued making them. I have no idea why, but this was a terrible decision. Whenever people I knew tried to get them, they were sold out - clearly it's popular and fulfills a need for people who ACTUALLY PLAY GIGS FOR A LIVING.

low volume

my biggest gripe is the low volume ... you need to keep the volume control all the way up, but many of the sounds are still way too low. i was especially disappointed with the harpsichord ... i had really been looking forward to finally having a realistic harpsichord to play, but that particular sound turned out to be so low in volume to render it unusable. if you buy this keyboard and you want adequate volume, plan on spending a couple hundred dollars more for a good sound system. all the demo videos are misleading because they are apparently using external amplification. i have and still do own many digital keyboards and the normal setting on those are almost always set about halfway up on the volume control. this leaves me with plenty of juice if i need to go louder. surely, yamaha noticed (or, intentionally designed?) that the P-121 volume is too low -- that is, unless you use headphones or external amplification and speakers. the whole point of me buying this piano was the small size and the built in speakers, so i would not need to complicate the whole setup by hooking it up to any external devices (powered monitors, external amp/speakers, computer for midi hookup, etc). the pros -- seems to be solidly constructed (i also bought the stand and bench), the weighted keys are acceptable and the overall size was exactly what i needed to fit into a small area. sadly, minus the need for external amplification, this piano would have been the perfect little piano for practicing. one consolation, the four acoustic piano sounds are pretty good and noticeably different in tone from each other. also sad is the fact that yamaha is going to produce and sell millions of these pianos with this very serious defect -- halfway on the volume control for normal room volume is common sense. the need to keep it full on is like building a car with an under-powered engine that pings and chugs up every hill it comes to. wow! it is amazing to me (with an electronics repa

Authentic piano performance

Piano quality only possible from Yamaha

The P-121 allows for incredible dynamics and expressiveness. The Pure CF Sound Engine includes the sound of the renowned Yamaha CFIIIS 9' concert grand piano. It is the result of over a century of acoustic piano craftsmanship combined with state-of-the-art technology and expertise. In addition, the Graded Hammer Standard 73-key piano keyboard provides a heavier touch in the low end and lighter touch in the high end, so it can be played with the expressiveness of an acoustic piano.

Authentic piano sound
The newly improved 2-way speaker system produces an expansive piano sound in both upward and downward directions. This gives the player a rich stereo sound, as if you were sitting at an acoustic piano.

Simple operation using the Smart Pianist app!
Smart Pianist allows you to control the many functions included in your Yamaha digital piano with your smart device. Voices, rhythms and other settings can be selected through the familiar touch screen of your phone or tablet, making it easy to control the functions of your piano.

From rock to ballads, use these rhythms to add an element of fun to your practicing or use them as a backing band for your performances.

Optimal sound on the table
The new "Table EQ" feature enables the player to enjoy optimal acoustics, so even if you play on a hard, flat surface, you get the best possible sound.

The Stereophonic Optimizer-a new kind of headphone experience
When using headphones, the Stereophonic Optimizer lets players enjoy the same dispersed sound heard when sitting in front of an acoustic piano. With the Stereophonic Optimizer, Voices sampled from acoustic pianos appear to come from the body of the instrument. This provides a comfortable, natural experience that eliminates the downsides of performing with headphones.

Sophisticated Design
The P-121 was designed with simplicity of use in mind. The intuitive user interface makes using functions like Dual Voice or Split Keyboard a breeze. Every element of the P-121 is designed to help you stay focused on what really matters: your performance.
