Members johnnypro Posted August 22, 2013 Members Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm a dedicated Yamaha electric pianist, having used Yamaha P90, P120, p85 and currently a MOX8 as my "bottom' keyboard. I have a Roland PF5 piano in my studio, and it just doesn't sound "right" to me anymore and I want to replace it with a Yamaha. I can pick up a Yamaha P200 for cheap ( Thanx in advance for any replies... JPPS: I also Have a Korg Krome and like my MOX8's piano sound better.............

Members Piano Whore Posted August 27, 2013 Members Share Posted August 27, 2013 10 years ago I went from using a P200 to a P120. Both had issues with slow or sticking keys. But Yamaha replaced the entire P120 keybed (with those of the later P140 model) free of charge. No problems at all 7 years later. Plus the P140 keysaction feel much better to play- lighter and faster. Soundwise, I LOVED the P200. With the onboard speakers it was very inspiring to play, and an add-on sub made it even better. If I'm not mistaken, one of the pianos of the P90 was the same as that of the P200 Piano1.The main thing I missed about the P200 was the form factor and feaures. So much, in fact, that I recently picked up a used CP300 which is very similar. I'm not sure that the CP300 pianos have as thick a bandwidth as that of the P200, but 10+ years later I would have to A/B them to know for sure. I would expect that the P200 is still a very good, competitive and useable piano sound but it's been so long.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johnnypro Posted August 27, 2013 Author Members Share Posted August 27, 2013 I went and tried the one at G/C near me and the actual keybed was so noisy and distracting it turned me right off on it. I'm guessing this one was very tired, thus the noise, but I don't know. Also, they didn't have a sustain pedal hooked up, but the organ patches were acting like they did and it was sustaining all the time.I had a P120 a while ago, liked it a lott, but had some problems with it cutting out and sold it cheap after grabbing my Roland. Too bad Yamaha doesn't make a piano module anymore. Thanx!! JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
