Yamaha DGX505

Availability: Discontinued April 2006. Replaced by the DGX620.

The introduction of some remarkable novelties in the Yamaha DGX505 will increase the fun in playing, creating and enjoying music of players throughout the world. In this regard as an example, the Floppy Disk Drives in the former models DGX-500 have been replaced by Smart Media slots and all new models feature USB-interfaces. Despite the fact that this marvellous new DGX-series feature more hightech novelties, the Yamaha DGX-505 keyboard is still the ideal 88 key keyboard with a budget price tag.

Featuring an 88 key (light weighted piano-type with touch response) keyboard and a wonderful design that fits any demand in modern furniture design, the Yamaha DGX505 is the perfect solution for either starting piano players or more advanced players looking for a budgetpiano to exercise. It offers the best to both worlds. The side panels and the stand of the Yamaha DGX505 are made of wood. This gives this instrument a certain ‘grace’ which you normally only find in more expensive digital piano’s like the renowned Clavinova CVP-series. It also comes with a sustain pedal.

Internally the DGX-505 offers everything little brother DGX-305 offers as well: A beautiful high resolution stereo piano sample, about 500 voices (including Sweet!, Cool! And Live!
