Questions and Comments about the DGX620

Re your article regarding private lessons, i fully recommend them. i would
also suggest that the teacher be of mature years as i had and they stood no
nonsense. sorry about the delay re youre e-mail but ive just come out of
hospital.everything ok.i have just purchased a yahama dgx 620 and love it to
bits.please warn potential buyers that the base frame is rather weak. i
made a new base myself and its all go.

Reply/ Hi Gary

I don't advise on buying the Yamaha DGX620. The keys are weighted buy not enough. You really need to look at a digital piano such as the Yamaha YDP131 or (for even more money) the Yamaha CLP220.

You can check these both out here:

http://www.ukpianos.co.uk/yamaha-clp220.html

It is essential to get a piano that has heavily weighted keys so if you want to play a real piano at a later time you will be able to make the transition much easier.

The key weight on all keyboards is too light and I advise you to spend a little more money on a digital piano.
