 Yamaha P71Everyone has different preferences and priorities, so to make choosing easier we have attempted to give a frank review of the products. Let's start with the Yamaha P71. Next up is an Amazon exclusive piano, namely Yamaha P71. It has 88 weighted keys and contains 10 different sounds. It allows you to layer two voices together so that you can feel like the one-man-band you’ve always wanted to be!

 Casio Privia PX160Now we will have look at an alternative, the Casio Privia PX160. If you liked the last piano but would like to have a couple of different ones to choose between you should check out Casio Privia PX160BK 88key digital piano. It is too very slim and simple and a really good substitute for a real acoustic piano. The 18 different sounds you can choose between are really nice and the speaker system is very good for the price.


A good look at the Yamaha P71

Probably the best thing about this piano is that it’s very light and slim, so if you don’t have much room you could actually keep it under your bed or sofa or some other empty space and just put it on a table whenever you want to play.


Let's take a closer look at the Casio Privia PX160

One of the best things about this piano is that it’s not only available in black, but also in a gold/champagne color which is really cool.
