- I like this keyboard. Great sounds ,great rythms and easy of use.
More powerful speakers wouldn't hurt.
But you can't have it all.
I use it even with my music group.
 Good Beginner's Keyboard August 6, 2004

As the other reviewers have said, this is a great keyboard for the beginner or the person who just wants to play around. If you are looking for a professional keyboard, this is not for you.
I recently decided to learn piano and bought this keyboard as a good starter keyboard (instead of paying thousands of dollars for a real piano). I was pleasantly surprised. The sound quality is excellent. The speakers won't blast you out but they are strong enough. Also, the instrument sounds are very realistic for an electronic keyboard. The grand piano sound sounds more like a piano than the old upright I practice on at a friend's house.
The number and variety of the sounds, beats, and songs is good. The play-along feature is great! You choose a style (with drums and bass). You can then intro into the song. There are always two different tempos to switch between with short breaks to transition from one tempo to another. So at the push of a button, you have a backing band for whatever you want to play. This was nice as I am practicing basic jazz improvisation and it is good to have a backing beat to work with.
The keys and displays are set up intuitively and after about 15-30 minutes of playing around, you'll know where everything is and what you need to do.
The keys are well spaced and have a touch sensitivity that works well.
I have not tried the more advanced features on the keyboard, but the manual appears to be well written and helpful.
Amazing for Beginners June 12, 2004

Was awesome, on Thursday i receive an e-mail saying that they shipped my daughters keyboard... on Saturday (same week) at 10:30 the Fedex car was at the door. My daughter wasnt at home and i decide to make a run to buy some batteries before she comes back, (i choose without AC Power because budget was tied), but on my way i saw a house having garage sell, then i stop to see if they have some eletronics or speakers, BUT, the best, i saw that PA3C adaptor from Yamaha that fits perfect for the keyboard... 1.50 USD, and i run back home to try...PERFECT!
We are having so much fun...as the others say, this is a home keyboard, don't expect something to explode your ears. I like in the way it is.
Awesome first experience.

A very good deal for the price May 31, 2004

Both my wife and I were looking for an entry level keyboard. After spending some time on the Internet and stores, we finally nailed down our choice to this one for its excellent price and features. There was a little goof up with the One Click method, and Amazon shipped it over priority mail instead of the free shipping. But when we sent them an e-mail they refunded the shipping cost.The product so far has performed up to our expectation. Although we are yet to experiment on the advanced features like downloading songs, the basic functionality works just fine. There are plenty of preloaded rythms to select for the song you would like to play. Also there are practice songs (didn't help much to us as we play Indian music). The only poor thing about this model I guess is the speaker. It should have been more powerful perhaps. And also note that it doesn't come with the AC adapter. So better you order that one too.
Awesome Keyboard!!! AWESOME price!!!! A+ May 7, 2004

After i did alot of searching and researching of different keyboards in this price range, i found that amazons price and that the psr-290 was a perfect match! This keyboard is an awesome piece of hardware for the money.
I have bought mine having never played a piano or keyboard, so i really didn't know what to expect. After playing with mine for a week now, i must say that this baby is LOADED with tons of features. Best buy was offering this same keyboard for 199.00, so amazons price at 159.00 was totally awesome especially considering i used the FREE SHIPPING method. I ordered mine on a late thursday night and it was on my door step on monday morning!!! THAT WAS AWESOME INDEED!!! :)As far as the keyboard goes, you simply can't beat the price and performance! My only beef was that amazon shipped it in the box that its packed in. I'm sure its because it so big, but i could tell that the box had been put through its paces, but nothing was damaged in the end. So all in all, i am VERY pleased with this keyboard!!!
If you are wanting this for a beginners keyboard, this baby will NOT leave you disappointed! GO FOR IT!!! hehehe
