Ease of Use
:
8
The presents arn't bad the piano is very good.
To do the basic sounds is easy the buttons are right infront of you.. but to edit the presents, change fx levels , mix 2 instuments or transpose requires quite a bit of button pushing and often you need to get the manual out to figure out exactly how to accomplish the sound you want.
Keep in mind ... this is a clainova and really not ment to be as flexiable as most keyboards its ment to replace an acoustic piano..

The action on the keybaord is excellent , pretty much second to none although I did try a roland once that was also just as good.
The sounds are jazz piano, rock piano, grand piano, bass and harpsacord. There is reverb, chorus, tremelo and flanger built in..
The warm/brightness of the sound and the touch sensitivity of the keys can be changes with faders. (very useful)
It is a midi insturment although It's never been hooked up that way yet.
Expressiveness/Sounds
:
9
The pianos are quite nice I especially like the rock piano.. they are very acoustic like (almost but just a little of the high end is missing)... yamaha has done a great job of making this piano respond like an acoustic piano depenging on how hard you press the keys and how far down, the sound will vary ..
This is the most responsive digital piano I have ever played.

Overall Rating
:
9
For someone who has a small appartment, or the area where their piano needs to go is hard to get to, there is no better choice (imho) but really if you can afford and have the space.. nothing sounds exactly like an acoustic piano...
Overall this is the best digital piano I have played (or owned)
