Yamaha Piano for Child Learning

Users Awaiting Email Confirmation
Is this Yamaha keyboard good enough for a 10-year old child beginning piano lessons? Will this be able to meet his needs for the next three years?

Why is there only one pedal instead of the usual three?

Yamaha Piano for Child Learning

Get those with same height as the test to be conducted. Bought recently second hand Kawai at $4k+.
 
Re: Yamaha Piano for Child Learning

Buy 2nd hand first in case he lose interest after some time. If you prefer a new one, Yamaha has sales around Nov to Dec period.

If you think your child has great interest and would not give up after awhile, you can consider getting him a 2nd-hand or new Yamaha U1.

2nd hand fully restored Yamaha U1 can be bought for around 4k-5k.

3 pedals not necessary if your child just wana try
 
Re: Yamaha Piano for Child Learning

even on a real piano, the other 2 pedals are hardly used.

left pedal is for softer feel and slightly softer sound. middle pedal is to lower the felt damper, to reduce sound almost totally.

since this is an electric piano and sound can be controlled electronically, they are totally useless, hence only the sustain pedal is necessary.

Yup. That's why I am thinking of buying this pre-owned Yamaha P-95. About $600.

The U1 Silent Piano is $12,000.

But my questions still no answer: Are three pedals necessary? Or can make do with one sustain pedal?
 
Re: Yamaha Piano for Child Learning

In my humble, unlearned opinion, a couple of points to note:

a. The "weighted" feel of the keys are the same as an acoustic piano
b. The height of the keyboard is approximate to that of the acoustic version - but this is not essential, as the height of the stool can be adjusted
c. Pedal - usually the "sustain" function is used. Occasionally, single key hold and damper pedals are also used, but frankly, most of the time, the sustain pedal is the one that's most used. The single pedal is likely the one that will give the digital piano the "sustain" effect.

Some of the brothers here have mentioned - make sure the child has an interest. Better invest in something cheap & basic. Who knows, the child might end up being more interested in horsepower & torque curves later on.... :lol2:

Good luck, bro!
