This review is from: Refurbished - Yamaha DGX-500AD 88-Note Touch-Sensitive Portable Electronic Keyboard with AC Adapter (Electronics)

In 2002, I researched the best "digital pianos" under $1,000 and this one seemed like the best value with best feel. It was at the time, and I'm not disappointed, but compared to the current product offerings from Casio, and Yamaha's newest product offerings, this keyboard does not provide the "genuine" feel of a grand piano's action, and it does not provide connectivity to your computer except through the MIDI ports. Now that I've upgraded my digital recording studio with a laptop, I need something with USB or firewire connectivity and speed and interaction with software. Still, I own and I use it, and I like it. I produced my first movie soundtrack with it in 2002, and it sounds great. It's not as heavy as some keyboards, so I guess some people would consider it "portable", but I don't. It is touch-sensitive, but the action is not heavy like a real piano. Try it before you buy it so you will not feel disppointed.
