Alternative to a Piano - 88 Key Keyboard!
by Suresh Bist
10/22/2009

Why should anybody look for a keyboard with 88 keys? On first instance, the obvious reason that comes out is that one may not be able to afford a piano with the traditional looks – be it acoustic or digital.

Cost, and to some extent the fact that it needs more space are the primary reasons for someone choosing a keyboard which has 88 keys. Somebody who has started to learn keyboards on 61 keys, and is inclined to go to the advanced level, will need a keyboard with 88 keys. Whatever is the style of music that you want to learn – classical, jazz, blues, etc. you will need 88 keys to play the advanced pieces.

But moving to a digital piano is a costlier option than may be getting your 61-key exchanged for a keyboard which has 88 keys, if budget is of high consideration. If you add the advantage of portability to it, it seems even more rational to go in for that since you can even take it along with you if you need to perform.

by Suresh Bist
11/02/2009

The Yamaha DGX Keyboard is suitable for players who are keen to learn the piano, but also enjoy features like the musical styles that are available on musical keyboards. The reason they do not go in for a plain digital piano is because they like the auto accompaniment feature which lets them play along with the various built-in rhythms.

But Yamaha already has the YPG series, so how different is the DGX series from the YPG? Actually there is no difference and they more or less refer to the same set of keyboards. The only difference is that they target different markets. For instance YPG is commonly sold in the American market whereas DGX is mostly sold in the European and other regions.

The DGX keyboards are not going to replace YPG keyboards or vice-versa, atleast there is no communication from Yamaha as of now on this. They exist purely to distinguish between the various regions as well as the mass market retailers such as Best Buy, Circuit City, COSTCO. Each of these
