Yamaha YDP 160 Arius Digital Piano




Manufacturer:Yamaha
Label:Yamaha
EAN:0086792880174
Model:YDP160

A year ago, I was looking for an inexpensive digital piano

very good quality

After sampling several options at places like Guitar Center and the like, I reduced my choices to three: the YDP-160 and Casio's PX800 and AP200

Built-in AWM stereo sampled instrument Voices faithfully reproduce their complete range from the soft, dark lows to the glistening, bright highs.

Despite costing a lot more, I went with the Yamaha

Rating 5





After almost daily (OK, nightly) use, I can say in full confidence that I'm happy with the choice I made

Unlike the Casios, the Yamaha piano is sturdy

The Arius series digital pianos feature Yamaha's sophisticated AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) with Dynamic Stereo Sampling for the ultimate in instrument realism

Built-in AWM stereo sampled instrument Voices faithfully reproduce their complete range from the soft, dark lows to the glistening, bright highs.

Taken at different 3 levels of soft, medium and loud each key is comprised of multiple stereo recordings of an actual grand piano. This provides subtle differences in volume and timbre depending on how you play the keys, and gives you full expressive control over the sound

Model:DGX230AD

I can't say that this keyboard, though a toy, isn't worth the going price

Not for gigging

I picked it up at the urging of a bandleader who is convinced the sound of its bass matches his electric bass on his double-neck guitar

76 Graded Soft Touch keyboard

If I want to make the rest of the band hate me, I simply turn on the automatic songs on break

Rating 4

The keyboard doubles as a "juke box" with keys / karaoke machine and a surrogate piano

2009-06-14

I've used it outside with batteries and find the speakers occasionally convenient

Aside from it now being affordable (I bought it when it first came out at around $900), this is a high quality digital piano

Top of the line

The sound is utterly incredible, clear cut and crisp

76 Graded Soft Touch keyboard

Basic operation is simple, the weighted keys match those of actual piano keys

Neotech Accordion Harness Strap




Manufacturer:Neotech
Label:Neotech
EAN:0711554310025
Model:3101002

This just shows you how personal a thing like straps are

It's a personal thing

I'm delighted with my Neotech straps

Fits most accordions

I find them quite comfortable---but probably the best thing about them is that the material they're made of prevents them from slipping around on my shoulders, like leather straps often do

Rating 4

I think it's just a great design

2009-04-01

Plus, these are professional-quality, wide accordion straps that are at least HALF as expensive as leather straps this size

I would say that this harness is good, because it does support the weight well however, if you are small like me (woman 5'3) it is loose

Good, Not Great

I think they could have made it to be a little more petite friendly!

Fits most accordions

Rating 3

I tried this Neotech strap along with the Neotech Mega Accordion Harness, Black

Not comfortable, difficult to fit

I found the Mega strap to be extremely comfortable, but this one to be very uncomfortable

Fits most accordions

The contoured design did not seem to fit my body shape

Rating 1

Build quality and materials seem very good, though

2007-10-30

Thus the reason for 2 stars

The Neotech Accorsion Harness Strap uses 2 uniquely curved straps with Neotech's internal control-stretch system

Fits most accordions

Bound edges provide the ultimate in comfort. Fully adjustable-approximately from 23" to 49"

We chose this one because the keys are full-sized and touch sensitive

Her piano teacher told us this was essential so she won't have problems switching from playing keyboard to piano and back again

2007-10-06

This one has all the features that we wanted and the price is reasonable

I bought this at Sam's club for $139 and it included power adaptor and stand

Great keyboard

We wanted our kids to learn how to play music but didn't want to spend a lot of money on a full sized piano not to mention we didn't want to deal with the size and mobility issues

This was a great inexpensive keyboard for that purpose
